ELON SAID
STOP SAVING
MONEY
"Don't worry about squirreling money away for retirement in 10 or 20 years," Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest man, recently said on the "Moonshots with Peter Diamandis" podcast. "It won't matter."
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was adamant that people like you and me shouldn't be too concerned about socking away savings for after those paychecks grind to a halt.
