I reached that point by my late 30s. By which point I had already paid off my house, etc. etc.
I hate "stuff." "Stuff" even includes cars, extra sq. foot on the house, etc. I'd rather NOT have it, it's all just a headache to me. The only thing I'm interested in spending money on is things that can produce an income. The rest is all just trinkets, doodads and junk.
I do have my old Porsches that I work on and tinker with, though. But these are not big dollars, are not depreciating, and will likely always be worth what I paid for them. It is impt to have hobbies, and cars are a nice one, so many different skills to learn, paint, body, welding, mechanical, etc.
The daily drivers always have been, and always will be, used examples of quality cars that are 5+ years old (and thus depreciated by 60+ % already), but well maintained.
Family and relationships are what's important. The other stuff is all just junk.
