The fact that most people do it doesn't mean that _you_ as an individual have to do the same. Source: 40, 2 kids, single earner, could retire anytime I want.

"Could" is not the question here. The question is quality of life and for many people in many countries simply access to rather basic goods.

It's great that you can just retire anytime I you want, hopefull without any downgrade for family's well being. I'm just saying this is not always on option.

You have enough savings to last 40+ years? That is impressive. Did you accomplish that outside of being an owner of a business?
Where would you advise people should cut back on? Education? Vacation? Toys? House size?
