• Retired Texas teacher here, no unions or Social Security. I was the only one of my teacher friends to actually know the difference between a 403(b) and 403(b)(7). We too had an approved list that changed when I was about halfway through my career, so I was forced to choose a "less bad" option. I wasn't happy about it, but saving money is better than not. As soon as I was able to, I rolled it into my IRA. And a big shout out to my (now deceased) husband for forcing me to learn about investing from the start.

• I, too, worked at McDonald's in 1972; $1.60/hr. Still remember all the prices, and I'm sure my kids are tired of me saying, "The price used to be.." And I remember my dad (born 1920) saying exactly the same thing about what he thought prices should be.

• A friend told me to choose a lawyer and a doctor who are younger than me, and I think that is excellent advice.
