I'm making the most I've ever made right now, and I live in the same condo with a crappier car than I previously had when I was making half as much. I'm living frugally, yes, but I save my money for experiences like traveling. When I'm on my death bed, I'll have a collection of awesome memories, and honestly, at the end of your life, that's what's going to be the most comforting.
My retirement dream is to move back to New Zealand and live modestly on the coast while traveling, camping, surfing and enjoying the outdoors as much as possible. I don't give two craps about having a Lamborghini or a massive house or anything like that.
Someone said it earlier in this thread, and the advice is great - 'To have more, want less'.
