We can all spend what we want, but priorities get in the way. I have a professional manager that does not make huge money, but in 2008/9 crash the portfolio went open by 6%, not down by 30% or 40% like most. I have friends who are not back to where they were prior. I'm almost double where I was. Anyhow, leave my invested money alone and at 60 I should retire on an income as large, if not greater than what we make today. That's a goal.
That and having 10 acre with a large garden plot including fruit trees providing most all our food. Mobile chicken huts too but not for eggs. Meat. I'm also building a custom house to sit on the land. And I need my Fishing, crabbing, shrimping boat.
In short, my life revolves around many priority.
Fishing, crabbing, shrimping boat. Ya need to be in Fla, plenty of those for sale. I retired at 57 1/2 and you will love retirement.
