If the condom breaks it is the condoms fault. If you do not follow through on a 401k it is the contributors fault.

Talking to my 26 year old cousin is fruitless. His employer matches up to 8% and he doesn't understand why he should contribute

If I had done it right at 26 I would have retired at 50. Timing it out now to retire next year.
