i picked the marriage one because it seemed the most like my current strategy, winning the lottery.

Choice three but I think 55 is retiring early. To retire at 45, you need the powerball or need to live in a cardboard box for 20 years. (either before of after retirement)

I sure hope when I get there I find out I saved more than I needed and get to treat myself for the stuff I gave up now.

Well I'm 19 so I'm not thinking about retirement yet..though I do have a 401k with my work (which i should probably learn about seeing as i have money in it) But i'm living for the moment but still saving money for the sake of having money in the bank.
