Amy Parker, a 22-year-old and newly hired marine biologist, is quick to admit that she does not plan to keep close tabs on how her 401(k) retirement plan will grow with time. This sort of thing does not really interest her. Amy's contribution, plus that of her employer, amounts to $2,100 per year starting at age 23.
