 In 1994, at the age of 24, while working for the Phoenix Suns NBA team, I received my first-ever pay raise. Excited to share the information with my family, I called my uncle Don to share the news, and his response was, "Put it in their 401(k)-retirement plan." My response, of course, was, "401 what?" That advice still resonates with me today and is what sparked my interest in planning for retirement and the importance of starting early!
