I haven’t retired, but I’m going to get there by 50-ish due to living small.
I’m in IT, make good money. All my peers get new flashy cars every 3 years; mine is going on 14 years.
My peers need a 2500sq ft for their family of 3 - we’re comfortable in under 800.
They’ll be working until they’re 70 at this rate…








Oh yeah, our hobbies are well funded! Otherwise, we have what we need and are happy. What else could you want.
