    Boomers keep telling me I should have put $20 in my savings account with every paycheck starting at age 18 and I’d be able to retire at 65. Dude was not going to be able to retire at 65 apparently.

      the fun part of it is that a combination of inflation and stagnating wages means $20 keeps getting smaller in terms of value but also keeps becoming a larger part of your disposable income.
