Default Re: General advice you have for someone just about to graduate college

When you get a job, max out your 401k every year. Consider it a bill that you must pay and live on the rest.

That's actually really good advice. Most companies put in like 50 cents on the dollar that you contribute up to some certain amount. That's 50% return, tax free. Even if you just do that for a couple years, cash out, and then reinvest elsewhere so you don't pay the taxes, it's pretty unbeatable.
