<prompt> Human: Im 24 and saving 2k a month living at home, its a cultural thing. I so far have about 10k in my roth IRA that is all put into the Vanguard Target Retirement Fund for 2055. If I continue saving 2k a month, how can I best allocate my assets to ensure early retirement? What time do you think would be the most ideal for early retirement?Assistant: Depends, how much do you think you need to retire?Human: Thats the thing, I have no idea how expensive it is to maintain the kind of lifestyle I want. I suppose Id want heating, Internet, utilities, and a home, and also the money to travel and experience nice things. ...I should make a spreadsheet, eh?Assistant: are the lifestyle you want and the lifestyle you live different?Human: I think the two will always be different, people will always want more, right?If I knew in college how well I was eating now, Id have been floored. Now that I am at my current lifestyle, I want better than what I have.Assistant: people will always want more, right?absolutely not. I certainly dont. If I knew in college how well I was eating now, Id have been floored. Now that I am at my current lifestyle, I want better than what I have.If you were happy in college then you have no reason to change your requirements. Human: I think it has to do with the fact that over the past year or so, I have gotten a chance to know some extremely wealthy people in the DCGeorgetown area due to my job and so Ive gotten a taste of the good life.  <response>: Theres no such thing as the good life. Just a state of being in a constant chase for the good life. Constantly acclimating. Happy people are happy. You dont get more happy because of the good life.
