And that's fine.  We all make choices.  Ours was to put off some consumption until a little later in life.  But we didn't suffer, we had our friends and family, and always had a good time getting together.  We took our first trip to Hawaii this year (age-60).  I know young couples who have been there multiple times in their early 30's.  All about choice.   I am happy with m life and I'm sure they are happy with theirs!
