For those with children or plan on children, 529 College Savings account is something worth looking into as well. My state allows me to lock in the current cost of state school and the traditional account.
But I agree with @EmotRegulation that I can't keep up with a lot of what you are saying. I have an old school state pension I am paying into, which seems pretty sweet. Of course, I am not vested for 10 years and I don't know if I will remain in my current position for that long. My wife has a Roth IRA and money in some mutual funds but we haven't been adding to those accounts recently.
My biggest take away is that I spent a long time as a poor student and now I should get serious about retirement, which seems like a big leap. And the best way to do that is to find a fee-based financial advisor. So... how do I do that?
