There is a large spectrum between quitting young and doing some of the things you want and quitting young and doing nothing but what you want. There are plenty of people that travel in extremely economical ways. People don't have to live in million dollar homes. Most hobbies don't require a 7 figure bank account to maintain over the course of their life.
BUT...generally people will come to live at their means(and sometimes above with the abundance of credit in today's world). Ultimately it becomes difficult to back out of a lavish life and the paychecks become the only way to sustain it.
- tayo42 5y agoThat's not sustainable. You need millions to retire today. That's why people are working. Not to feed their ego like the poster suggests.
- mym1990 5y agoPeople don't work today so that they can save millions for retirement. Most households are lucky to scrape together thousands in a given year. Most people get to retirement and can barely even make that work. At the higher pay end of the spectrum I am sure SOME people work at FAANGS to say they work at FAANGS, this is just statistics. On a larger scale, I agree, people don't work to flaunt who they work for.
