[QUOTE="brownelf, post: 944950, member: 27863"] When I was PT we had the thrift plan instead of all the options available now. Got into that back in the late 70's and am glad i kept my fingers off it the many times thru the years I had the opportunity to get at it as the company went public. What I'm getting at is to consider anything you put into your retirement fund untouchable money, especially in the beginning when money can and will get tight at times. Many like myself started small as you are doing now, and now 30+ years later and nearing retirement it's grown into something that will give me the chance to retire years earlier than planned. IMO the closest thing to the old thrift plan (ie put it in and forget about it) would be one of the Roth IRA Bright Horizon Funds. Although the fees are higher, it adjusts automatically without you doing a thing and if sometime in the future you desire to get a little more involved you can change it. [/QUOTE]
