Interesting reading this thread. Have gone through the hard times, 2 kids and wife at home not earning, but things got better when the kids grew up. Two wages coming in. Yes lots of holidays and enjoying life, put some money by for a rainy day. Wife retired at 60 with a reasonable pension, I "got" out at 62 (and managed to draw my pension), now the dreaded 65 is looming near and state pension. Now its time to enjoy more holidays and to do what we want, when we want.May be that is an old fashioned attitude, but its worked for us.

Spend a little, save a little but most of all enjoy life, there's no second chance, you're only here once.
