I don't know if my parents ever told me to do this, but I saw them live this daily and it has been huge for me and my wife. It's very simple, but extremely effective.

Live Within Your Means.

Since my wife and I graduated from college and started working full-time and we have lived on lower of the two incomes and saved the higher one and that has given us so much freedom to do what we really enjoy doing instead of being tied to money. We don't live in the most expensive house we can afford, we don't drive the most expensive car we can afford, etc. It helped that we weren't making minimum wage after graduation :-)

It's a blessing to have a partner who has the same intensity about the goal as you do.
