@Craig – Hey, like you said, getting started young is the best thing that you can do. If you do not know what to invest in, leave it to the experts like you did with selecting a lifestyle fund.

I have recently opened a Roth IRA and did a little bit of research as well. I don't know anything about investing, but figured the basics and getting started very young would be great. I am actually planning on maxing out my IRA for this year with additional income coming, but I know I won't be able to do that every year. I opted for a Lifestyle Mutual Fund where the changes will be automatically done for me. If I learn more over time I can switch, but for now it seems like the best option for me as I just get started and now don't have to worry about adjusting every year. .-= Craig´s lastest post ..HSAs Provide Tax-Free Health Care Savings =-.
