How do you figure 18%? Its 6k / year right now.

I'd let them set it up for themselves (VTSAX @ $500 per month). Just stress that they max it out every year. Nothing else matters more when you're young and earning less than $100k / year.
It's more about developing the habit, and 18% of whatever they earn still gives them money to spend, when they're not making enough to max their contribution with that percentage
