Yep. I'm not where I want to be at 52, but I'll be clearing the kids off the payroll (slowly) over the next 4-5 years and paying the house off shortly after that, so I plan to accelerate the savings. And, I've still got more than my parents do right now in their mid-70s, which they have barely touched since retiring about a decade ago.
But I can't imagine thinking about retirement savings working lower-paying jobs and trying to support a family.
