Best thing I ever did was get in on my employers 401(k) plan back in the 1980s. Didn't have a lot of disposable income in those days but I made enough of a contribution each paycheck to get the full match. Retirement back then seemed so far away and I was always tempted to pull back on it but I kept the discipline to keep paying in.

I don't lecture my adult sons all that much but this is the one thing I constantly nagged them about. When I finally showed them my balance, their eyes popped out of their heads and now they understand.

With my low pay I have saved since 1988 and its over a million.....I will never be a burden to society or family.

Nice!
