Great piece of satire on anti-retirement complanypants. So great it even fooled me...

I've edited this post, but originally I took the article at face value. Silly me.

That reads like satire to me.
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.
