Expences that really slow down the retirement savings [House, Vehicle, boat, etc.] should really be well though out. IMO.....most people spend way too much on these major purchase.

Something to think about: What did you spend money on in the past week [or month] that you could have just as easily put that money into savings? An not miss what you spent the money on?

Good info Mr Gerald.... I try to stuff what money I can away.... If you pay yourself 1st you cant lose.... I was taught that at a young age...... Before you pay anything pay yourself 1st.... I should be able to retire (If all go right) @ 55 and pick up SS (maybe) @62 and live good!!! But this all can change tomorrow!!!
