I'm surprised, however, that none of them learned from your example. I would think your early retirement would have opened their eyes to the benefits of frugality.

I would not know if they learned or not. DW and I moved a few hundred miles away, shortly after my exit, into our fully paid off second hand home.
Giving it some thought, not likely they learned anything. Their free-spending habits, keeping up with the latest electronic gizmos, doohickeys, new cars, and paying for all manner of useless cr*p, and having a good time was far too important to them. I think to them I was just that weird foreigner with strange compulsion for not pi$$ing money away.
