Someone I worked with told me "you put away a little here and a little there. When you retire you realize how little you've put away."
I am blessed. My wife did all the money management in the house. It took me 20 years to realize that I actually got 26 paychecks a year. All that time I'd been thinking I only got paid twice a month , only 24 times when it was actually every two weeks . When I retired she smiled and showed me the accounts where she'd been putting the extra two paychecks.
My wife was so tight fist'ed I used to tell here she could squeeze the 'fertilize"r out of a buffalo on a nickel and then use that on the garden.
By all means save quick and retire as soon as you can. You never know how long you'll have. We had 12 years of retirement together before she passed away.
