Living some, but hoping to retire with no change in lifestyle.

Living for today, might die tomorrow. Of course I just turned 25 so I'm starting to realize I need to budget my spending incase I live to be old.

live long enough to pay off debt then live recklessly.
of course by the time debt is paid off, my mentality would have changed and i'll have a whole new life goal.

Little of everything, except for the kids part. I set aside a fair amount in my 401(k), try to save a few hundred per pay check in regular savings (high interest, none of this 0.1% bank crap), but realize I will probably work until the day I die of cancer or a major car crash, because I tend to spend all my money enjoying life. Holding out hope of marrying a rich woman so I can retire, well, now.
