[quote=Anonymous]We did until our special needs kid necessitated private school tuition. But thank god we'd saved so much we can just manage this huge tuition bill every month using some buffer savings. But that's why you live under your means -- you never know what will pop up. And things do get more expensive as you age. Just dental work alone can cost thousands. By your mid-30s you can break teeth, need root canals, then teeth get pulled and all of a sudden you are into bridges and implants. Just one implant can be $5000 for a tooth. You will need/want your teeth. Long term health care, other types of insurance, it's just crazy what stuff costs. So keep doing what you are doing and put everything you can away now. If you put it away now and later slack off at retirement you'll have more than the person who starts at 40. [/quote]
