I remember on my 21st birthday I became eligible for the company 401k program. All of the office staff laughed that I wanted to start so early. After being shifted from person to person for 2 hours I eventually got pissed and told the lady "look I don't want to work until I am your age, Just give me the paperwork so I can sign up". I also remember the *** ripping my father gave me when he found out I had the company take 20% of each check towards my 401k. It was by far the best thing I ever did. You don't miss the money if you never had it to begin with and If all goes as plan ill be able to retire early.

Had to throw this out as well-it is clearly not one sentence, but one of the greatest speeches ever-the quote most of you know-and it was stenciled on my high school gym wall for us all to be exposed to-it provided much in relief when hitting walls in life:

From my dad:
I'm worried, you're not going to make it.
Do you want to wash cars the rest of your life?

Avoid debt at all cost.
If one man can fix it, so can you.
Plan on retirement at 20 not 40.
You can't fix crazy, it just gets worse.
When you are thinking of getting married take a good long look at her momma. In 10 years that's who you'll be living with.
Vehicles ALWAYS depreciate. Buy used.
Never eat spinach with a stranger.

Never argue with an idiot, from a distance no one can tell the difference (something like that)
Do something about it or shut up (many uses)

Our two sons used to roll their eyes when I would use this phrase but am pleased to say that so far, so good and they are now 26 (USN sub officer) and 27 (pilot instructor).

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Wish in one hand and spit in the other, then tell me which one fills up the fastest.
If it smells like cologne leave it alone.
If you you think you can or think you can't you are probably right.
Nobody likes a smartass.

my old boss.
you dont look at the mantle when stoking the fire.
your first loss is your least loss.
always leave a little for the next guy.
just goes to show it can happen to the verrrrrry best of us.
tighten it up till just before it goes loose.
the minute you work on a family members car everything there after is your fault.
no good deed goes unpunished.
old enough to bleed, old enough to butcher.
