Hey everyone, first time poster. I'm hoping to get some insight/advice on my current situation.
I am 23 years old and just started my first full time job. It is in the tech industry and reasonably well paid, for a recent graduate. My employer offers a pension scheme and contributes a percentage and there are a number of investment portfolios to choose from. I don't have all the details yet.
I am wondering is it wise to start investing in a pension at this stage in my life? I can afford it. I really don't like committing to having my money locked up until I am 65 though. I'd love to consider other investment options, if I knew what they were!
I guess what I'm saying is, I have an opportunity to start saving for retirement now, early, and to do it 'right'. Any info to help me do that is greatly appreciated.
