\nPutting the importance of savings into perspective, Chip Castille writes, \u201cYou will still be you in the future. Saving for retirement isn\u2019t an abstract exercise. It\u2019s making sure you can still do the things you enjoy even after you\u2019ve stopped working. And the more your investment return outpaces inflation, the greater \u201cdiscount\u201d you can get on your future night out. You will be thanking yourself later.\u201d
