The comments (though few) are pretty depressing:
"'Retire early', in a day when so many can't even dream of just plain ol'
retiring. I applaud the folks that get it done so early, but fear for them down the line. Do they REALLY have enough money to cover their expenses for the next 40 years? (assuming he lives until 78, he could live well past that). Why not work another 10 or 15 years, still retire quite early, but have a bigger stash? $1 million isn't that much these days, sadly, and costs are only going up, especially when it comes to health care."
"I agree. If I read it correctly, he is going to sell 3% of his holdings each year. That's risky because the bull market will not last forever. And a repeat of the 2007-2009 bear market will hurt his balance. It would be better if he were able to live off the dividends and not sell any shares."
Why not work 10-15 more years?! Such a willful ignorance or disregard of math and research is far too common.
