Here's Some Motivation for Retirement

(How to retire on $12,000 a year) Here is an article I just read that says the best way to live on roughly what social security hands out is to room with as many people as possible. As the number of people living together and sharing things increases it become more and more possible to live off this small amount. I can't think of a better reason to save money then to purely avoid having to move in with 4 strange people in my golden years in order to make ends meet. I want a nice place all my own to enjoy the quiet and to spend time with the people I choose. There is going to be nothing there to bail you our in your golden years, so save while you are young and able.
