Americans Consider This Their No. 1 Financial Mistake

Chances are, you've made a few financial mistakes in your day. Maybe you racked up credit card debt when you were younger and damaged your credit score as a result. Or maybe you bought a cool car you didn't need, and raided your savings in the process.

Well all make our share of money-related blunders, some of which can have longer-term consequences than others. But if there's one mistake you don't want to make, it's neglecting your 401(k) plan. In a recent TD Ameritrade survey, Americans ranked not investing in a 401(k) as their No. 1 financial error. If you're guilty of ignoring your 401(k), it's time to rethink that decision -- before you really regret it down the line.
