Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I've retired ~6 years ago at age 54. It was a great decision although some members here suggested I may not have enough. A bull stock market made me even richer. Looking back, there is one thing I keep regretting.
I was an antithesis of [edited later] a spendthrift. I spent money on cheaper wines, traveled on a budget, didn't donate to charities much, etc.. For what? So that I could have saved 1/100th (guessing) of my liquid/asset at retirement. I lived a Spartan life (moneywise) for what amounts to a few more months at work. If I were to do it all over, I would have "enjoyed" my money more before ER.
Of course, if the last 6 years were a big stock market bust, I would be singing a different tune.
