investing tips for new grads:
At least make sure you invest enough to get the complete company match coming out of school.
Consider upping your retirement % with each raise. 4% raise -- try to add 1-2% to retirement.
Since you'll eventually be hitting the 401k max, figure out how your company does matching. Some may only match X% every paycheck that you actually contribute at least X%. So if you hit the yearly max in October and shut off contributions, you may be leaving money on the table.
Don't invest much (if any) in company stock.
