Krispy Kreme to me doesn't compare to Mighty Fine Doughnuts...... I've been all around the world and Smith's hotdogs are still the best....... Oh and I cant forget the pepperoni and cheese balls. I guess I love the food. Although I will never live in Erie again I will always come back once a year to visit. The crime is getting higher as of late.
I opened a Roth IRA through State Farm in August of 2008. Best planning ever! In a few months, my $500 opening investment was worth about $30. It's recovered since, and I really like having something that I absolutely can't touch, as frustrating as that can be sometimes.
I started saving for retirement when I started working full-time after college. It was easy to set-up at 401k, and my company matches my contributions (up to a certain %).
It's certainly true that the little things—like living within walking or biking distance of work or shopping—do add up.
So many people just look at the top two or three items on their budget (which is not completely unreasonable—that's where the money is) and then "solve" their budget problems by optimizing those items for cost. They never think that there are a lot more variables to consider, including the whole array of budget items further down, but also things like what city they live in.
I started saving as soon as I had the money to save. Without access to a 401K, I have saved in IRAs since my mid-20s

Started saving for retirement via 401(k) when I was 20 at my first "real" job.
I started saving for retirement when I got my first "real" job after college. :)
Age 19! Opened an IRA after working a summer at my dad's shop.

I started saving when I was 24. I wasn't eligible for an employer match for a 401K, so I had to start things on my own, but I'm glad I did.
My dad convinced me to start a Roth IRA in January 2011 by agreeing to match the amount of money I put in up to $100. I turned 21 in December 2010.
40
When I got my first full-time job, at age 22. Company 401k, signed up without a second thought!
When I got my first real job where a 401K savings was available. I was about 25.
