<prompt> Human: Ive been quite lucky and found myself in a job where I could maximally afford to save about 75 of my income, living on bare essentials. But the FIRE life of minimalism doesnt really entice me, since I wouldnt know what to do with myself once Im retired but without much spending money. That, and youre only young once. I want to take advantage of my one opportunity to enjoy my youth.Whats a reasonable in between that is responsible for my future, but lets me enjoy the present as well? 25?How about, since I know the maximum, whats the minimum that can be considered responsible? 10?  <response>: There is no magic number.Just know that every dollar you save now is worth 30 or more in 40 years. The more you save now, the more youll have later.I also never understood why fire required living like a pauper for 30 years. I like to travel and eat at restaurants and have a car. If you are looking for some analytical way to arrive at a number. 1. Determine when you want to retire.2. Determine how much you want to live on a year for retirement.3. Determine how much money you will need to have at retirement to last you the rest of your expected lifespan ignore suicidal security4. Figure out how much youll need to save now to get to that number. Use a few different scenarios of low return and high return and just make an estimated guess.Its not just saving as much as humanly possible. Make sure you are capitalizing on the free money options like Roth IRA and company 401k matches and stuff. Enjoy your youth. Travel. Reward yourself. Theres no point in working solely for future you to be rich in 40 years. But dont screw over future you either. If you could save 75 if your income now you are in a great spot because if you are even saving 25 thats better than 99.99 are.
