> unless you want to live like a single 24 year old your whole life.
Controlling expenses and living a humble life style is pretty much the opposite of living like a single 24 year old. At least for me and most of the single 24 year olds I knew back then.
It takes wisdom and maturity to realize that you don't need all that stuff. And if you can find a partner with the same outlook, you can certainly avoid spending tens of thousands on a wedding, or buying a condo in a competitive market. And there should be no need for day care if you're retired.
