Because money is good to have in case I don't die tomorrow :)

But it's tough to save cash in college when paying for everything myself.

I really really want to retire at a young age. Living frugally now will only help me live frugally when I retire. I want to have enough cashthat I can begin to work part time or become a business owner of something I love. Enjoy the job for fun and not be a slave to the paycheck.

Fingers crossed for 13.5yrs to retirement.

People like you (who are diligent about and having the mentality of early retirement) most likely will get bored and come out of retirement (or never enter it).
