The importance of saving 20-25% for financial independence

One of the hosts discusses the historical context and rationale behind the recommendation to save and invest 20-25% of your income. They compare it to previous recommendations of 10% from The Wealthy Barber and 15% from Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover.
