Reply to Got a job with 401k, should I hold off on contributing to save up for a house? by [deleted]

I think you need to balance your own financial priorities, but I have two suggestions to help you do that:

  1. Remember the old saying about how you can borrow money to buy a house, but you can't borrow money to retire

  2. Use one of those "investment calculator" pages online to see how much money you invest today will be worth when you're old, vs. how much money you invest in e.g. 10 years will be worth when you're old.

Reply to TIL "Hey Jude" evolved from the song "Hey Jules" which Paul McCartney wrote for John Lennon's son, Julian, to comfort him while Lennon and his wife were getting separated, He recorded first part of the song on his way to Cynthia and Julian in his Car with a recorder installed in his car's dashboard. by Knight_TheRider

Must've been awkward when Paul shared that song with John eventually. "Hey I got this new song, it's called Hey... uh... Jude."
