Yep, I'm on the boring bandwagon already. I just looked at the math on my last pay stub, and between my retirement (pension), 401k, and personal Roth (with company matching totaled in) i'm putting right at 28% of my income into retirement. So unless there is a massive market correction in the handful of years before I retire (I'm 39 now, and my rule 85 doesn't go into effect until I'm 57 at the earliest, I should be ok without needing to rely on any day trading/penny stock nonsense I may try to do on my own.
