“Savings accounts are meant for short-term goals, where you need to access the money easily (à la an emergency fund), not for long-term wealth building.”
Tori Dunlap, Financial Feminist: Overcome the Patriarchy’s Bullsh*t to Master Your Money and Build a Life You Love—A Personal Finance Handbook for Women, Mindful Spending, and Financial Literacy

“The Financial Priority List Starter emergency fund (three months of living expenses in a high-yield savings account). 1.5.  If your employer matches your contributions to a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings account, pay in as much as you can. Pay down high-interest debt (anything with interest over 7 percent). Invest for retirement while also paying off lower-cost debt (again, any debt racking up less than 7 percent in interest, such as most student and car loans, mortgages, and so forth). Save for the Big Life Stuff.”

I’d rather pay them now than leave it up to chance. Also, most people’s salaries grow throughout their careers; I expect (hope!) that you’ll be making more in twenty years than you do today, so you could contribute and pay less in taxes now, when you’re in a lower tax bracket.

“Forty percent of Americans cannot come up with $400 in an emergency.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

“The second one is money worship. This is where you think that having more stuff, more money, is going to solve all your problems and make you happy. It’s not necessarily negative or positive—but people who believe those things strongly have less income, less net worth, and more credit card debt.”
