I've never broken the median income for my city and I have retirement savings. I can see how my situation would change if I had kids, but if your employer gives you benefits like an actual human being, it is as simple as opting into the 5% deduction or whatever. It comes out before taxes and before direct deposit so you barely notice it is even missing.
