BBC: Yes, you can retire before your 40th birthday

Very Mustachian article that actually mentions MMM.

I think it is great to see mainstream spreading the fact that financial independence is an obtainable goal for the working class through a combination of planning, self discipline, and investing.

“What if you didn’t have to wait until you were in your mid-sixties to retire? What about 50, or even just as you hit your 40th birthday? Don’t laugh — with enough dedication, you could say goodbye to your full-time job years sooner than you think.”

Thanks for sharing the great link, I saw one firm where people worked there until their 40's, took a redundancy package and then became semi-retired by being contractors and working ~ half the year and relaxing the other half
