Very interesting. I'm 20 yrs old right now and I'm 2k in debt from college and my recent PC. Good for you guys who managed to save up all that money at such a young age.
i'll let you know when i reach age 23 but by 18 i had saved around $44k which i used to pay for tuition because my parents weren't supporting me anymore since i told them i wasn't going to become a doctor (trying to become a lawyer)[/quote]
i am 23 and didn't go to school, so i have no debt. i work full time in manufacturing and rent an apartment for $600/mo.
i have something like ~18k in the bank, 11k in a Roth IRA, and 2k+ in my 401k through my employer, but my employer matches some and it isn't fully vested yet. i have 2 cheap cars that aren't worth much, probably under 3k combined realistically, unfortunately.[/quote]
Hey, i've been looking into putting some money into an IRA as well. What website / holder do you use? Any insight would be appreciated!

I used TD Ameritrade. I don't know exactly why I decided to go with that one, but my smart friend helped me choose. They charge $50 every time you make an investment in the Roth/IRA. I just looked at it today (friend told me to not look and get scared and withdraw my money) and I lost money since March.
I'm 18 and I have about $1700 in my checking account and about $300 cash. No job yet cause I gotta figure out work study and whether I can do this tutoring job instead.
I'll have ~$36k in loan debt after college but 10 years to pay it off.
