That was very nice of Wren to give you that. Especially since $665 is an 1/8th of a tank of gas for his yacht.

His generosity knows no bounds.

As long as you work at this sh*thole company, still do as much as you can. I am in my 40s and if I understood the magic of compounding at 25-30, I would have suffered through a few missed concerts or trips to have some more wealth. You dont need the match to take advantage of the stock market on your own terms and the tax savings. Every dollar you invest is worth $2 inflation adjusted in just 10 years with the normal market average returns. Google "the rule of 72". if you invest for 40 years, every dollar you put in your 20s will be worth $15 after inflation (2% assumption) without adding another penny to it.
