I wish saving for retirement was as much fun as saving for Disney.

At the risk of sounding OCD, I have made a spreadsheet listing every meal or activity at Disney for every person. When I put money into the savings account, I mark off that meal/activity for as many people as that deposit covers. I get excited every time.

Tonight I realized I don't get excited about saving money for my retirement at all. It is the exact opposite. They need to find a way to make it much more fun.

Now just imagine 75-year-old Cinderelley going to her fridge for dinner...is she reaching for a can of dog food and saltines, or a nice filet to throw on the grill, paired with a nice red?

Every time you put money toward retirement, think of Old Cinderelley enjoying that steak and mark off that meal.

DO NOT think about each Disney trip leaving septuagenarian Cinderelley more and more destitute. :-)

Lol.

I don't know how to grill, so my imagination was taken up with the giant fire I started while trying to throw a filet on the grill.

I wonder if dog food and saltines taste better in Disney World. :P
