My wife and I take it very seriously. We have a pretty aggressive retirement goal (around 55). We're 36 and 34 now. I'm the main earner and I max out my TSP (military 401k) and my Roth IRA. She does about 18% of her pay to her 401k and maxes her Roth. We've also been pretty lucky with real estate. I sold my first house in 2021 that I purchased in 2014 for more than double what I paid and even more than what I owed. We own two homes now, one that's a rental. Both have a ton of equity.
We've tried to find a balance between meeting our financial goals and enjoying our money. I think we've done pretty well. I own a G80 M3 outright and have a pretty extensive firearms collection, the two being my main hobbies. She doesn't have too many hobbies, but loves clothes. We're able to save, live comfortably, and enjoy ourselves, which is awesome.
