<prompt> Human: Hi Reddit, so I dont know much about how I should prepare for my retirement. As of right now I have 100k to spare for retirement. My friends were telling me about Vanguard, and to save with them. I have no idea how any of this works to be honest, and I was just hoping you guys can help me get started.Thanks!  <response>: Please read the information found in the FAQ particularly I Have X ... What Do I Do With It?! and the Long-Term Investing Start-Up Kit You may find Your 401k and You: Basic Information and Your IRA and You: Basic Information worth a read as well.
