Yes and no. I've saved more, have a better house and have it way younger than my parents did. My dad had a job with the govt and a nice retirement plan though. He started his govt job around my age. He also had been a farmer as a young man and was renting it out so he had retirement money coming in that way too. So I'd say he wins on more of a guaranteed retirement plan. Mine is more dependent on how the market does but I'm far enough from retirement that I've got plenty of time to be aggressive and make other moves, which I've been considering.
