In November 2018, the National Bureau of Economic Research published a paper called “Saving Regret” [here's the full PDF version]. Once you wade through the study's academic language, there's some interesting stuff here about why people do and don't save for retirement. Saving regret, the authors say, is “the wish in hindsight to have saved more earlier in life”. Obviously, you can suffer from saving regret at any age.

A data team from a company called Clever Real Estate tallied up Yelp ratings and the average price for a large cheese pizza, along with the number of pizza restaurants in 50 cities nationwide to create the list.
