Perhaps you could consider living in a different continent like Asian or South America as a means to achieve your goals faster? In most countries in these areas it's much cheaper to live than in developed countries.

So you could save/invest a larger percentage of your income, plus if you end up enjoying the country you move to then it could result in you needing much less money to retire than you would have needed in a developed country.

Perhaps it's worth considering
I just moved to Brazil. The cost of living here is killer. If you want to live in a ditch and eat rice, it is real cheap. But if you want to live like an american, it is off the hook crazy expensive. I had no idea the developed world was cheaper to live in.
