<prompt> Human: I graduated this past spring and Im working retail while I keep searching for a career. How much should I be saving out of my paycheck a? I have no debt or bills because I still live at home. I know its important to save money for retirement and starting early and for my last few jobs Ive been saving 30-40 of my paychecks Any advice?  <response>: You mention youre a night stocker. Perhaps look at doing this for Lowes. I did it about seven years ago and started about 3 higher than minimum wage. More department manager opportunities within Lowes, stock options etc. Once you work your way up youd make good money compared to even some non-retail jobs. Also save as much as you can and make goals for where you want to be five and ten years down the road.
