@ Rocky - because it's the responsible thing to do IMO. I might ask you in return, Why go broke if you're going to live past age 65 and have to depend on your kids to support you?
Simply put, I plan to have no less than 500,000 in the bank when I'm 60, based on just what I save. I can stop working, go do what I like. I mean I just know several people who live their lives in debt but are really proud of their new corvette they can't afford, and their new 60" tv, they have to put on credit. I don't have to do that. When I need to buy new tires, or get christmas presents, it's not big deal. I save money and I think any responsible person does. I'd rather have a smaller TV and a more modest car, and see a growing bank account every week. But that's just me. To each his own
