Agreed. I could easily live an extremely frugal life for the next 30 years to build riches, but then I would forgo 30 years of a life I want to live.

Not to mention I could die half way through those 30 years, and what would I have to show for it? a slightly larger savings account?

Live smart, but live life. Money is not the end goal for me and I honestly feel like people who make their life mission money driven are missing out a huge portion of what life offers.
