ykarnay asked:


I am 25 and at my job I’m not offered any kind of 401k plan. Is it a good idea to invest into mutual funds to build my retirement plan? As they say, start early. What are my options on this?
I was refered by a friend to talk to a financial advisor, she is working p/t under primerica with three different investing companies. According to all the numbers I provided, she advises me to use Franklin Templeton Fund Allocation, I don’t know much about any avaialble investing companies so I am very lost in terminology and the numbers.
