The goal is that by the time we're 35 we can start investing significantly in our retirement and hopefully pull out a retirement by 55.

Start now (and maybe you already are). Even if it is a tiny amount, don't wait.
And this is the advice I would - and do - give to everyone:
pay yourself first. Don't wait. Don't put other things ahead of it, like 'I want to pay off my student debts', or whatever. There are ALWAYS excuses. And there is always another thing that is more important.
But don't let that stop you. Start now! With something - anything. Pay yourself first, and make it automatic.
You won't miss the money. And then increase the amount whenever you can. If you do this (and I mean everyone here), you will be financially successful.
