No secrets, but a Roth IRA is a good start. Living well below your means and saving a lot is a better one. I have problems with the latter, but am big into the former, as well has having a 401k. We'll see what those are worth if and when the time comes.
Not only am I a couple of years older than you (I surmise, based on your comment), I have a new child - just 7 weeks old on Monday. Scared spitless in some ways, loving it in other ways. Definitely won't be able to fund his college very well, though I'll do what I can. Don't really expect to quit working, just like you...
