I'll take you point, but throw at you another option.
There are some of us who can do both. You don't have to be one way or the other, it's called balance. See, I get made fun of by my coworkers because I bring my lunch with me to work. I probably save about 6 bucks a day and to me it's not that big of a sacrafice.
In addition, although it's hard, I'm learning to forgo by cup of Starbucks in the morning saving me about $12 a week. On top of that, my wife and I have forced ourselves to eat at home 5 nights a week which was huge for her.
One the other hand, there are some luxury items that are totally worth every penny. My wife and I go to Maui for 10 days each winter. We get free tickets from using miles, but it still costs us about $3,000 with car rental, condo, food etc. That being said, it's where we were married, and the planning for the trip gives us something to look forward to all year. I wouldn't give that up unless things got really bad and I had to.
Also, this year I bought a third car as a weekend toy. Yeah, it cost me $25K and I'll only drive it probably 30-40 days all year. But, I get a smile whenever I think about it, and just knowing it's there is worth the extra work I will have to do in order to FIRE.
You don't have to be one or the other.
