I’m looking for advice on diversifying types of debt. Is that smart/good? What should I look into? If not, what can i do to increase my credit score other than pay on time? I currently just use my csr card for everything. 26m TC around 140. Thanks!!

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
