You still have thought patterns that you have to get over. Priorities that were engrained over three decades can be purged now because they no longer have any bearing over your life. Also retirement income goes quicker than you think it does so for you young readers, kick into your 401k at a higher amount.
You'll be grateful you did later! You're doing your future self a massive favor by giving them the resources they need to enjoy the life you want them to.
Priorities change and that's what you start to understand. Everything that your professional life was structured around has changed, I mean academically you realize retirement brings change but you don't realize what that means until you experience it.
A weekend is fine, two days off but you know that you are going back in to the same job.
A vacation is the same, just extended a few more days.
Leaving the job is vastly different because there is a defined ending and after that is the wide open promise of opportunity.
So kiddos, if you get a matching 401k as a job benefit, kick in as much as they match. That's going to benefit you so much later on! You'll thank yourself so much and curse yourself so much if you don't.
