Philip, I love your name.

The millionaire next door is a great book, however many of the people those authors worked with over the years were self made entrepreneurs. That doesn't kill the argument, just being an entrepreneur forces you to learn the frugal lifestyle "next door" talks about

The truth is, just find something you love to do. If you love your work, you'll likely never retire because you don't want to. Money will no longer be the reason you work. Look at Warren Buffet, or just my own dad. He's a professor and could retire now. He won't because its his life's work and he'll never be "finished" with it.
