I'm seriously bad at this stuff but should I do my retirement thingy at 10% per paycheck or 15% per paycheck or more?

I'm horrible at financial things.

As much as you can possibly afford. And start to educate yourself so you don’t have to work until you’re 100.

I try to save half of my salary, then half of that I use for traveling and adventures. so 25% gets saved and reinvested in various projects.

How much will your company match.

There are limits you can put in a year. 15% seems like a lot

@SW-User I have no idea I was looking at my old fidelity stock account because I forgot I used to buy stocks and I noticed I can do a 401k thing on my account for my work. I want to start that up but have no idea what to put in.

@Addictedtoglamour start with your HR benefits handbook.
