Here's a story they never publish. Two non-executive, average earners espouse mustachian principles. Over time, they save, invest, buy real estate, avoid sukka consumer debt (BAD), but not mortgage debt (good). One day, they sit down and do the math and are shocked to discover that their retirement income will substantially exceed their working income. WTF? It could happen to any diligent mustachian. Who knew? Doesn't sell ads though, so you might not hear it anywhere but here. ;-)
