It isn't about wanting more. It is about financial freedom, options, choices. I don't want my lifestyle to be dictated by the size of my social security check. I also don't want to still be working full-time when I'm 65 or 70 or 80 because I didn't save adequately when I was younger.
I have all that I need today. I have a nice home. I vacation regularly with my family. We have 2 older cars that work fine. We dine out occasionally. Sure, there are lots of things we could spend money on but choose not to. I would much rather invest that money for future needs and know that I'll be able to retire at a young enough age to still enjoy myself.
