Its not one or zero, Its not like suffer on the short run to enjoy on the longer or vice versa.
You need to plan both for the longer and shorter terms in life. I wouldn't be OK if I get a exotic vacation every now and then but a horrible time when I get old. Or the vice versa.
I think whats appropriate in life is to have short sprints of hectic work schedule where you can make you moderately big cash, then save and invest a part of it for retirement. Enjoy the rest to the fullest.
