BTW, I read an awesome write up about this a few years ago. Its point was you either sacrifice now or you sacrifice later unless you are independently wealthy.

It is very true. If you make good enough money, you can go buy the nice sports car, nice house, land the trophy female to bang, etc when you are young. Or you can put all that money away and retire earlier and have an easier life when you are older (though you may or may not be able to enjoy it as much). It is all about sacrifices now or later and it is an individual choice if you make enough money to have those options.

So, your theory is, there is no possible way to strike a balance here?

ETA, Or just that nobody does?
