It's all about perspective and priorities. For some people, their ideal life style is to work hard in their 20s and 30s retire at 50, read the newspaper and golf in Scottsdale.
For others it's going to the Euro Championships or World Cup and spending a fortune on significant life events in their 20s and 30s with the understanding they'll likely have to work till 65.
Who is to say which lifestyle is better? Unless you were born with a silver spoon, or you really did well for yourself out of university, it's hard to achieve both those life styles.
This is a great thread by the way. This is the kind of stuff they should teach in high schools.
