- toomuchtodo 11y agoSo much this. Save as much as possible when you're young; just like football players and strippers (or any industry where age is paramount), it doesn't last forever. EDIT: 32. Didn't save enough in my 20s. Saving as much as I can now (living below my means, paid off my mortgage, maxing out 401K/HSA/IRAs).
- Animats 11y agoYes. Most people who make a lot of money all at once blow it in about 7 years. I'm at year 32 of not blowing it. Although I've lost more to inflation and low returns than I've spent.
