I suspect the people who are able to keep a tight reign on their spending do so for its own sake. They get some satisfaction from it before they even start thinking about retirement.

To some people, the pain of letting the money go is greater than the perceived benefit of the product/service they get in return for the money, most of the time. You can imagine such people accumulating money all their life. For them, FIRE would be a very attractive proposition.
