In my early 20s, I lived in New York and made $36,000 a year. Needless to say, most of my money went to essentials; saving for retirement was not high on my to-do list.

My incorrect assumption was that I had plenty of time to start saving, but thankfully, my dad started to get impatient after a few years. Observing how much of my focus and funds were going toward just keeping my head above water, with no thought of the future, he made me an extremely generous offer designed to change the way I thought about money.My birthday was approaching, and he and my stepmom were planning on gifting me money, he told me. The catch was, the specific amount was up to me.
