    It’s a balance anon. Save some for tomorrow, but you need to live today because that’s all you have.

      Exactly. There are people who save so much to retire early, but I’m in my late 20’s and just living life instead of waiting. Sure, I’m putting away some money into my Roth and 401k to retire on time and live a comfy life after that, but I’m definitely traveling, going to events, spending more to live in a city, etc.

        Here’s my thing. I don’t know when I’m going to die. I might live to ripe old age. I might not. But if I don’t, I want to know I had a good time also.

        Imagine if you hyper optimized for an early retirement and then get hit by a bus at 35. Stuff happens. We’re all gonna die. Enjoy yourself where you can because you don’t really know how many years you’ve got.
