I would give up all these things if I could. In fact that's my life plan, I want to get enough money to be comfortable (not necessarily financially independent) and move into the countryside in some temperate climate country. This is not my retirement plan, it's my life plan.

My retirement will be spent isolated from society, although that's another matter for another day. But seriously, perhaps my perspective is warped by the fact that I'm used to all these things already. Kind of like how the best software is the one you never hear or think about since it doesn't get in your way.
