I agree. Once I discovered the magic of compounding, I wanted to try to sock away as much as possible. And to think that many employers match contributions is even better.

In my mind, a comfier retirement is a wiser choice than a sweeter apartment in my 20's.

I was never home when I was younger. I went to work and I went out. I just went home to sleep.
