    There isn't.

    When you make £25k a year, you want £30k.

    When you make £30k a year, you want £50k.

    When you make £50k a year, you want £100k.

    When you become a CEO, making £200k a year plus bonus, you will want to make £500k a year.

    It is a never ending chase.

    If I made even $30,000 a year, that would be enough for my purposes.

    Yes. Due to compound interest the earlier you save your money, the more it will grow. $5,000 saved in your 20s is worth something like 7 or 8 times what $5,000 saved in your 50s/60s will be worth. I'm 33 and have a little north of $120,000 in my retirement account, and even I'm not happy with that progress. I figure the more I save now, the earlier I can retire later.
