Thanks mate, for your great comment!
I'll have to look up that doco you mention, it sounds interesting. It's all a pretty simple concept though right? Going without something now, for later. Whilst I'm not one to forego life now I think it's prudent to have a need over want ethos so that one doesn't fall into the consumer trap of want-spending. Then add in a fee sensible investments and ones now and then can actually have a nice balance I think.
It's all up in the air really and one never knows what the future holds. Will I even get there has been said many times by many people I'd wager. I live my life now, enjoy it, but I plan ahead also. It's the only way in my estimation. For 38 years I've been working and whilst I have made mistakes I've also made some good moves as well. I'm hoping it's enough.
