Oh boy. Please don't do that! For real though, start saving a little bit each month. Start investing early and you will gain a good amount of money. Don't underestimate yourself.

Hey, that is a lot better than my retirement plan. Which is to say I do not have a retirement plan since I will be paying off my student loans until my 70 s or possibly longer. .., I don’t suppose you have Googles commuter bus schedule handy? lol

Pretty difficult spot to be in but there are so many people in the same boat as you, I am sure. My retirement plan is pretty shaky at best but there is nothing much I can do right now due to my financial situation. I am hoping by the end of the year, I will be in a better position to start contributing to some retirement funds. Best of luck to you.
