I never thought about retirement saving when I was younger, but now I'm pretty happy I lucked my way into it.

Well to be honest, the only way I could have had any real savings at this point in my life is if I decided to pass on most of the trips I've been on and never bought a place. I had a pension plan at my last job but everything I got from that when I left I ended up putting into my home. It was only like 6K since I was there for a year.
I have one big trip left that I'm committed too and then all my savings focus can go on just building up as much as possible, since I finally have a place now.
