Can't take it with you.
Never understood living frugally and not enjoying life to the fullest. You only get one kick at the can so why wait until you're too old to truly enjoy it. As long as your family is well taken care of and provided for, why should you fill the plate for your kids. If you've provided them with the stable, nuturing environment during their youth and taught them the life skills to survive on their own they'll be just fine. Sure, you can give them a helping hand when necessary, but having them anticipating your death because they'll be "set" is a lame concept. |

Until you hit 80 and you're broke and your kids dont want you living with them and you wind up in some shithole medicare facility with no money and nothing left to live for. All it takes is proper planning and you can both enjoy life and have enough to retire on. |

You have the mentality of a poor person and clearly don't get it. I'm too lazy to explain my detailed view on this, so I'll leave it up to others.
I'll just say the millionaire next door doesn't have to eat bread crust, never travel, and never buy cool shit until they are 75 years old. There is probably nothing worse than being old and poor. You have no ability to work and you are a nuisance to everyone around you. At 25, you might think 65 is old. When you get there, you'll assuredly realize you may move more slowly, but want to enjoy life just as much as you did when you were 25...perhaps more. It's all perspective. You can't turn on the saving switch when you're 55 and think, "shit, let me start saving." You lost out on everything. Time is everything with money.
