Part of it is the money you earn and save. But the most important part is the self discipline in sticking to a life style and pattern of self denial, knowing that you are working toward a later goal.

Friends going out drinking? What are you going to do? Invited to play a round of golf that will cost you $250? How much is that worth later on?

Your goal is not to make them happy, it’s to make yourself happy now and later.
