I had a few years of total upheaval and got totally wiped out.
I've been busting my butt and finally got a good job, but I'm starting over with literally close to $0.
I don't make a lot in salary -- just $40k. But I get quarterly commissions and they can range from anywhere from $5k to $50k. Almost everyone here is making pretty well into six figures ($150k-$250k; it probably takes 2 years to get to that level).
I've been here 6 months and just got the 401k paperwork from the head office. It's with Fidelity. Never had a 401k before.
What do I do?
Is it worth it to start a 401k at 39 years old?
Should I do self directed?
I've heard you can use your 401k to invest in physical real estate -- good idea?
I feel like it's free money, but I also feel like I'm too old to compound the principle enough and should use the $ to do something with more upside/risk to make up for lost time.
Any advice or insight is very much appreciated, thank you.
