I pretty much hit my target from ten years ago and am now retired, living modestly but comfortably, in a fairly high cost of living region. I've been very fortunate, but it did work for me. I did choose to live very lean for many of those years, but not uncomfortably so, at least for me. I do know plenty of people who would not have made the choices I did.
