@_brian I'm a big fan of 401k's - at least for companies that offer them like Intuit, we've got a great plan with some great index funds with great matching.
And the earlier a person starts, the better. I was a big Motley Fool person many years ago, and the graph on this page really spells it out for me:

But, when I hear "I want to start investing", I always go to "investing for retirement". 🙂
