Haha I'm right there with you on living with the essentials only. Saving is probably my biggest hobby, even when I don't necessarily need to.

I've been self employed for the last decade myself, although I'm on a good track for retirement I'm not quite there. I've had or been a part of 3 businesses at this point, but 2 are now shuttered and the remaining takes up all my time.

What industry were you in, if you don't mind me asking?

Hey at least self-employed still beats working for some other guy's retirement. Fingers crossed tho ;)

It was IT retail/wholesale. But at a time where you still could. Were one of the first with an Onlineshop. Also one of the first web-designers. Being an old fart has some slight benefits.
