Almost everyone just scales up their spendings though, there is no scenario where they can retire early.

  I guess maybe I find the situation more unbearable than others, I couldn't live with myself if I used up my escape plan resources.

    Very likely, from my perspective I can't live my life saving all my monetary resources to only enjoy my life when I'm on my 50s or 60s. I'm not born in wealth or in a wealthy country, I had to work a lot to get out of the initial hand life dealt me, including getting out of my home country. I won't sacrifice another 10-15 years of my life while I'm young to have a possibility to have all the time in the world when I'm 60. It's a matter of perspective as you pointed out.

      True. I'm old and I just have no desires anymore to spend money on. Low appetite, low libido and low energy, tired of traveling ... wish I had 1/100 of that money when I was young.

    @piva00 Yes that would be way too late. I am hoping to achieve this by the time I am 32 or 35 at the latest. If I get lucky, by 30. I won't have enough from career likely by 30, but I should have enough to start some side project that would hopefully garner enough passive income.
