don't screw with stocks unless you have time to research that form of investing thoroughly and are OK with losing some/all of it despite doing your research. if you want to play the short game with that stuff you need to devote time to tracking stocks every day and being well versed.
shift as much of your paycheck to your 401K as you can. as mentioned, its an exponential thing...the more you invest now, the more/faster it continues to grow as you get older. a 10 year delay can mean an extra million dollars unrealized later in life, as an example.
otherwise, just compliment this with common sense financial tactics - don't buy shit you don't need, keep a budget/track your expenses, don't treat your credit card like monopoly money, have a 3 month emergency fund, etc.
