If 20 year old me put away 10% of her income, it would just mean borrowing more. Current me would just have more debt and be worse off than now.
Yeah a lot of people in there twenties can't even spare 5%. I'm thirty and I can't.
Have you seen the price of emulsion?
Some companies in the US have a deal to where they match on 401k. One such organization puts in 5% for your 2%. Two percent is low enough it wouldn't be a hit to almost any cash in your pocket given that the money is taken out pre tax.
