[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1505155, member: 8481"] I didn't say you had to stop. But you're the exception. There are some like you that saved quite a bit of money to buy all those things with cash, but most people just save enough to get by during retirement. You're probably also getting $1500-$2000 a month in social security. While you may not need it, that will buy a lot of good stuff. It probably won't be around when I retire. I also have all that good stuff now. I want to enjoy life now instead of skimping so that I can have all that good stuff when I retire. I will just have to work a few more years to have enough money to have all the good stuff when I retire. Trying to save $20K a year on a $65K job only leaves $45K to live on. While that is decent money, kids, college, houses are expensive. I can't see having a quarter of a million dollar house, 2 nice vehicles, motorcycles, 4 wheelers, college expenses etc. on a $45K job. I have all that now and still plan on retiring when I'm 62 with plenty of "play" money. [/QUOTE]
