While some were indignant about the earnest saving suggestion, pointing out its relative difficulty for the average American, others took a more lighthearted approach, offering humorous alternatives to what many considered to be an unattainable standard.

Before you take stock of your savings, take a moment to laugh over the best tweets about how much you should have saved by the age of 35.
