Agree completely, I remember in the early years a crying Mrs Trawler saying, why do we have to live like this, why can't we have and do what our friends John and Jan are doing.I said we can do it tough now, while the kids are young and have a great life later, or we can spend everything now and have FA later.Like you I retired at 56, Mrs Trawler only worked part time occasionally and stopped completely at 40.John and Jan, are in their 60's still working and still renting, we go over East and see them every couple of years.Lovely people, but they are where they are through life choices, not through misfortune. He is a very good industrial senior supervisor and she a University lecturer.It isn't for everyone, but if you have the ambition, drive and vision it can be done.But you can't have it both ways, you can't use dollars to indulge and invest, blue collar don't earn enough.
