Not really, if you have a bunch of money it seems you will spend it all on medical shit later on in your life, people are probably better off not to have a pot to piss in when they get old.

Put back 6% every pay period; employer contributes 4.5%.
I'm 26, so I figure I could target retirement around 58 or so and be comfortable. |

Also, keep in mind that you will pay taxes on the money that's withdrawn. It's not tax free. Oh, and depending on the plan that your employer set up, there could be administration fees taken out as well. |

add a roth ira - you can pull out up to the value of your contributions almost any time for any reason since you already paid taxes on it. This way you'll have a fairly liquid investment for emergencies and if you do end up retiring early you can pull this money and leave your 401k alone until you won't have any penalties.

Also, you can borrow up to $50k of your 401k and pay it back, with interest, without penalty. But if you fail to pay it back in the time specified, you'll be responsible for State & Fed penalties and taxes. |

If you borrow from your 401k and you get fired from that job the balance of that is due within a set time period or you are taxed as if you cashed out your 401k I think so be careful.

Retirement Hahahaha! By the time I'm ready to draw SS, after decades of contributing, it won't be around. The small profit sharing I get from work goes into 401k, we all know how secure that is. I'm hoping I'm dead before retirement.

Oh, we have a checklist now before the "For Rent" sign ever goes up. I'm not making that mistake again.

Max out my 401k and Roth IRA contributions each year.
I don't like the thought of retirement, however. Seems boring to me. I'd rather continue working, even if in a reduced schedule, doing something that I enjoy. Maybe that will change 40 years from now.

I have been a horrible saver my whole life. As a single guy who's never had the responsibility of a wife and kids, I have lived the high life. I will pay a price if I live past 65...

If you are thinking about it you are doing pretty good, then comes the action. I know lots of people that can't even pay for the shit they have now let alone put any away.

I pray that I will never have so little to do that I could be classified as retired. I don't think I'd enjoy it in the least anyway.
