I would heartily disagree. I don't think my lifestyle has anything to do with lack of maturity. Through my 30s and 40s I was actively racing motocross, doing trackdays on a sportbike, and now with my Porsche. Yet throughout that time I've maintained more than ample life insurance, excellent disability insurance which I was forced to use, and I've always provided more than everything my family needs - including spending more time with my kids than any other parent I've ever met. It's a lifestyle that capitalizes on extracting the most joy out of one's life, but I don't see anything immature about any of the decisions I've made. Maturity should not mean that you stop living.
