It's really sad if you think about it too much.

And that's why I don't like to think about it too much.
Though I look at how I grew up, small town, decent living on my dad's $40k give or take, and yet not even 1-2% was saved, and we actually could have spared it. Saw my dad get a retirement with a couple small pensions + SS that ended up working out, but it was more luck than planning.
A lot of times it's a priority thing, so I would like to plan better.
I want to be doing something I enjoy with a side bonus of spending money when I'm 80, not stuck going to work because I don't want to eat cat food.
