One of my biggest regrets was not contributing to my 401K with matching employer funds starting when I was 18.
Do NOT fuck this up if you can manage it financially. I've been contributing overtime recently and I'm still in a deficit.
Go login to your employee portal and fix it. It's fucking free money.

I promise you all those stupid electronic gadgets and frivolities you're buying because you now have a steady paycheck are absolute bullshit you'll wonder why you ever thought were a good idea. I set so much money on fire holy crap.

The tragedy of youth is we usually have to learn the hard way what we've heard, but not yet experienced.
Don't let this be one of the dumbass mistakes.

“@SwiftOnSecurity I've led some large oganizations and it always drove me nuts I couldn't get all employees to participate in our 401k. "Fucking free money" is not hyperbole. It also gives many their first shot at learning about investing and markets if they're given options in the funds used.”

@SwiftOnSecurity I remember when I was a young adult just getting into a career instead of just a job I had a lot of loans to pay, I had to take care of my mother who wasn't all that well, pay for our utilities, food and housing. For the first couple of years I couldn't afford the withholding to participate/invest in a 401k. Once I did get into a good place no living paycheck to paycheck I did right away though.

Some people might be in a situation where it's not a priority.
