Retire Young and Retire Wealthy: An Open Challenge for the 99%

Here's an attempt by one author to convince others that early retirement is feasible. I tend to agree with a number of comments that his numbers were a bit unreasonable, but the concept was sound. I had to laugh at the first comment that challenged his numbers by pointing out that a cell phone alone costs $100/month. Not in my house!

Hmm. Overly simplified, and with unnecessary "class" inflaming verbage (that's one reason I like MMM - no "class" stuff. Anyone can be Mustachian. Including the 1%er today.)
But overall I agree with the basic idea.
