We don't save enough! No surprise there. I like to teach the "80%, 10%, 10%" method of financial success. Of the income you earn, you should try to live on 80%, save 10% (in a 410K preferably), and donate/tithe 10%. This last 10% is the most important for me. Make the personal decision as to where you want that money to go: church, charity, foundation, directly to other people, etc (I try to hit all of these, the best I can). When I started to do this, I found my outlook on life change and became a much less selfish person. I believe it is true that you get back much more when you give. That is my two cents worth---probably inflated by a penny...
