My son is 28. We encouraged him to start saving when he got his first job. That was at age 13. He now has a real estate investment property, lives on his own and travels to see friends and family all over the world. He is truly living his greatest life.

Wow what an great story. Some of these younger people have this dream of blitzing saving early on and then retiring at a relatively young age. It was a struggle for me to retire at 62 but I wish them well.
That’s the other point of saving early.
Don’t expect to be able to work for somebody else by the time you’re 40. By then, they look for any excuse to get rid of you.
Have a plan to be able to generate income on your own by then. Either by starting up your own company, or investing.
As you can see from the thread, most FREEPERS don’t think it’s worthwhile saving for retirement. I wonder if they thought this in their twenties as well. I am surprised the negativity at these young people being smart with their money including your son.
