Very true.

Without a car, a house and no other assets to acquire, your savings can only accelerate as you grow in seniority in your job with corresponding salary increase.

Even for us as a family with 2 kids, we saw our savings rate accelerates after we turned 50. Financial commitment taper off while salary goes up. Powerful combination.
