I'm 24 and have finally settled into my job and gotten my apartment bills paid up to date and have the ability to open one up. My company offers contributions to 401K accounts, but I'm not eligible until April 2008. I am not sure I plan on still being with this company at that time.
Therefore, I'm not sure which is my best investment option. I'm not able to put much in now as I'm paying off my damn student loans as well. I plan on having $75 from my biweekly paycheck deducted and put in my account.
I've heard Roth IRA's are slightly riskier and therefore offer higher rewards, so I may be inclined to go that route. However, I also want something safe, steady and more appropriate for my investment knowledge (which is quite light).
Also, does it matter which company I choose to invest with? Is there any difference in interest rates, etc between Ameriprise, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc. If so, which companies will benefit me most to choose??
THANK YOU! HAPPY HOLIDAYS
