Why is America the 'no-vacation nation'?
I said that twenty years ago as a justification for not bothering with paying into a retirement account. This turned out to be a bad bet.

Thanks for the perspective. It's easy to get caught up in events and not realize this has been believed for many years.
What did you do with the money you would have saved?

I spent it entirely on things I now do not have. Going out to eat, buying books and CDs, etc. There were times I genuinely could not have afforded to save five or ten percent of what I was making, but lots of times I could have.
