How do I start saving for a 401K?

How would I go about starting a 401K? How much money do I need, if any to start? Where can I go to learn the basics of a 401K?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You need to be employed first.
It's a retirement plan, that you can start as soon as you're hired.
You start with a percentage of your wages, which is witheld from your paycheck.
Usually it's deposited/invested in mutual fund (etc.) of your choice.
