52 now and I'm so glad that I picked up weightlifting as a hobby when I was younger. It's like cash in the bank for when I get older.

40s and 60s were found to be the ages that saw the fastest aging

I just wish I've had more kids. It's a shitty world but children makes it worth the ride.

The difference was 5% returns from their 20's.

That's all it takes to spread the gap. I'll retire a multi millionaire, im 43 now, and some of my friend are just starting to save.

The math, If you save $500 a month from 20-29 and never invest again you will have 2-4 mil at retirement depending on returns.

If your start saving at 40 for the same numbers you need to save 10,000 a month until retirement.
