im 24 years old. plan on going back to school in 2 years to quadruple my salary.

In that case, I'd do this:

1) Max out a Roth (that way you can get at the principal if you really need it). That'll absorb roughly half of it, and is a good start.

2) For your second year, save enough to take 1-2 months off between the job and school on a summer vacation you can tell your grandchildren about. Travel abroad and such, just be sure it's worth five grand or more. Do it now before you get tied down with a job and a family.

Then graduate, go out and make money.
