We have retirements based on % of earnings now. As such, I would MUCH rather see higher payrates SOONER(and end up flatter later) rather than make up for it with trying to top out high late so I can take advantage of compounding and have a better retirement.

It goes back to career earnings, not earnings at the end of the career.
