If you like what you do for a living, retirement is less of a factor. And "30% less" is still a truckload of money. I've never worked for a FAANG and I don't live in a particularly cheap area, nor am I particularly budget-conscious, but a comfortable retirement isn't even close to being a problem at an early age.
- chii 5y agoRetirement at early age doesn't mean you stop doing things - it means you get to do things without having to regard financial consideration.

I've also taken much more time off to do other things and had much more fun along the way. Sustainability is a real thing. You don't have to wait until "FIRE status" or whatever the cool kids want to sell you podcasts about in order to have a life.
