By continuing to live within my means, avoiding debt, and continuing to invest, I’ll retire with zero difference in QOL once the paycheck stops. I’m always amazed at the captains that I fly with who are close to retirement with very little saved. They had boats, planes, expensive cars, big houses, and lived the airline lifestyle to the fullest. I can’t help but wonder how hard reality is going to hit them when the paycheck stops, but then again....... play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
