Dad opened my sep ira when i was 18 (family biz). Not that i was making/contributing much, but it was good to start the habit early.

I had a job at 15 and had nothing to really spend money on so I opened a Roth after taking an economics class in high school

man yall are making me feel like a total bum.

I didn't start contributing to a 401 plan until my first full time job which was around age 25 and didn't open a RIRA until I was about 28.
