I can only save a small amount of money every month. I need to save up for bar mitzvah, seminary, weddings, other expenses and simchos for kids. I do not have enough money to save for both the kids future expenses and simchos and retirement.
I figure I can start seriously saving for retirement in my late 40's-50s when my kids are older. The problem is that I know the power of compound interest. And I know saving a small amount now is the equivalent of saving 3x the amount in the future.
I am not sure if I should save for retirement instead because interest on interest can compound 8-12% per year depending on the market. And when my kids iyH get married, I can take out a home equity loan for lower interest than I would earn every year from investing.
Any financially savvy people that can weigh in on what is smarter financially?

How much money are you able to save? How old is your oldest?

If your employers offer a match, at very least contribute up to the match. If not, it's free money unclaimed each month.
