As a SINK or DINK with just a partner, or a solo artist, so many more doors open up with non-reving and flexibiliy overall traveling last minute off peak.
Not even counting the flexibility to P/U premium, move to a junior base on a whim to upgrade or go WB, comfortably live in a smaller home without caring about schools.
Most people here are males who either have wives and kids, or will before too long so those are the generalities we speak of.
Without such encumberances, yes you have a lot more flexibility. That will be nice in retirement.
