Understood, but to an extent retirement isn't a choice. At a certain age I will find it harder to get a job and harder to do most things.

You also have the concept of compounding interest. A year of savings at age 30 is much more valuable than a year of savings when I'm 60.

You can say the same thing about health. A year of less stress at age 30 is more valuable than when you are 60.

Is it? I'm more capable of physically managing stress at 30. At 60 it could kill me.

If you develop serious conditions during 30s, you're going to enjoy them longer. I think the aim overall should be balanced life oriented towards future. If whatever I am doing now seems unsustainable it's not gonna be sustainable in a year (I will just learn how to ignore it).
