We live on about 25%-35% of household income. I could quit today and do nothing and still live exactly the same way as I do now. I would be unable to continue to save as aggressively, but probably have enough to get us to the other side of the ground anyways.
That said, I would pursue other abilities I have.
I'd say enjoy life while you're young enough to enjoy it. Within reason of course. Saving 2/3rd's of your household income may backfire when (not if) the dollar collapses. The country is adding $1 trillion of debt every 1-2 years and it will soon be snowballing much faster as the babyboomer generation suck every last entitlement dollar left.
I feel very bad for the savers in this country. Trying to prepare and be responsible all the while the government is creating an inevitable bust that will leave the dollar far less valuable in the future.
Enjoy a good portion of your fruits now.
