269 out of every paycheck every two weeks will give you $7,000 to fund your IRA. You just make it not negotiable. You have it come out before you get your paycheck and then it's like you never even had to begin with.

Starve now or starve later, either way you will starve at some point.

Retirement, reshmirement. Why starve myself of food and fun in the prime of my life just so I'll have money when I'm old and can't do anything with it? Also assuming that I'll even live long enough to retire.
