I agree, just gotta keep doing the best one can and try to live a little at the same time.



WORD!!!!


Like my buddy that just retired == guy never made squat - but retired nicely. He put a little away for 40 years.... He didn't wait 40 years and then try to make it all up. He used the POWER OF COMPOUNDING... Didn't keep him from owning a 32' Grand Banks... or going on nice vacations... or driving "decent yet used cars". He lived within his means and his means meant he also factored in that monthly payment towards retirement.


Love that statement - money is like air - it's only important when you don't have enough.
