It’s easy to think about every thing you want when you are young, without much thought about all the advantages you have (time and energy being two of the biggest). You also have a great point about not rushing to add more responsibilities. Those come quickly enough even without trying.

It sounds like you are doing quite well, Lance; 21% of your post-tax income is definitely a pretty good level of investment. You’re far ahead of most of the twenty-somethings in the country.

I am in my mid twenties and put away 21% of my post tax income for retirement. Hopefully I have no trouble retiring 40ish years down the road.

I especially love #3-Take advantage of your lack of responsibilities. That’s such a refreshing outlook. I just have to add-and don’t rush adding responsibilities. Good post, thanks for the ideas.
