Your reasoning is very flawed. Does that mean that if one earns more, they will have to spend more? Frugality is key if you want to retire early. I am now a junior surgical resident, but I am still eating and living the same like my university days. Eating at hawker centres, taking bus mrt every day. I even head to JB to buy all my vitamin supplements because it’s cheaper there.
