Well, i worked until i was 72, to get most things paid off! We live on my Gov't Disability check! (Lost foot in WW II!) And 2 Social Security checks! And what i make fixing things in the summer!
We paid off our home in 18 1/2 years. We still live in it! We don't buy new cars or trucks. We don't buy a lot of gadgets for the home. Most goes for taxes and food, and incidentals!
Oh, i would take a million bucks from the lottery! But, i don't buy the tickets! My wife buys one every so often, but hasn't rewarded me with a new pickup!
We bought a used motor home once. Cost more than our home did! (House cost $10,000 in 1950! Motor home cost $15,000 much later!)
We enjoy getting away for weekends. Our sons are grown and married and have their own places!
No, we're not "Money rich"! But we're satisfied with our life, although the years haven't been kind to my wife--Arthur is giving her fits! He hasn't affected me too much! I still drive, and ride motor-cycle! And go to Bluegrass jams several times a week!
So, take my advice--learn to enjoy the simple things, love yer neighbors, talk to everybody, join the Volunteer Fire Company, help the old folks, restore old tractors, keep the farm if ya have one, don't move to town, and be happy!;o)
