<prompt> Human: At my job, someone came in today to talk to us about investing a 401K plan. I am currently 24 years old and have no investments whatsoever but all of my coworkers told me they wish they started investing when they were my age.Im sorry if Im leaving out any information, but feel free to ask me any questions needed to give me a better idea of where to go, I just need some guidance on what I should be looking for.So the company that came is is called American Funds From Capital Group. There are about 30 plans they offer to choose from. My salary right now is approximately 36K. I have about 650 in monthly fees not including gas, groceries, etc. that I pay.What do you in personal finance believe I should be looking for if anything out of a 401K plan? Should I invest in something else at my age instead of a 401K and possibly hold off until a later age to start investing?I literally dont know a single thing about this, so I would appreciate any help you can offer.  <response>: This is a friendly reminder to visit our FAQ entry on Retirement AccountsYou might also benefit from this common topic: I have X, what should I do with it?Also, please visit our FAQ!I am a botrAutoModeratorcommentsq11puwhat_is_automoderator, and this action was performed automatically.
