Now in my late 30s having been sorta "retired" for 15 years is an interesting spot.
I can't say it was terribly difficult, but I did have to do some budgeting in my 20s. The biggest contributing factor was paying cash for a home/car and not running up credit card debt that I wasn't using to actually make money or have sitting at 0%. Consumerism and materialism is also a big one that anyone looking to do the same will have to get a grasp on as SOON as possible.

Here you are in your thirties, and you think that you've made it. Well wake up! Starting in your late fifties you are going to encounter expenses and medical bills that you will never expect.
Back in the sixties $500 a week was considered a good buck. Around here that's what they pay illegal immigrants for manual labor. Do you see how it works?
