That is wonderful- great news. I wish everybody could do this.

It does feel good, but there is a bittersweet aspect to it when I think of all the money I essentially pissed away.

If it makes you feel any better, you might well have put a lot of this "pissed away" money in the market and lost it , as I did. Lately I have been thinking" Why didn't I run up a credit card debt and live large, instead of being so frugal as not to have had squat all these years". Why did I forgo cable TV, cellphones, new cars, grow my own food? I never had any debt- haven't bought a car on a loan in 20 years , my mom holds our mortgage. Why do I feel so raped and violated these days with regard to a goodly piece of my retirement savings that has gone down a rathole?- but that's another story.
