Awesome.  The more mainstream it goes, the better.

Awesome article!  MMM's below quote summarizes 99% of the people I work with...

"Mustache sees things similarly. “Financial independence is not an age-related concept,” he says. “It simply means your income from sources other than work is enough to pay for your lifestyle.”
 
Most people wrongly focus on the income side of this equation, he says. “They want as much income as possible in retirement, to ensure the happiest possible life. What they are missing is that happiness is almost completely unrelated to how much you spend.”"

As a longtime writer on retirement, I can tell you that I approached this idea with more than a little skepticism. But after interviewing Fisker and Mr. Money Mustache, I was struck by how level-headed both of them seemed.
 
Neither is the sort of finger-wagging, anti-materialist scold you might expect. Both offer their lives as examples of an alternative approach to retirement, rather than the one true path everybody else should follow.

I think that this is a good sign people are starting to get ready to listen to the message instead of writing it off as impossible. I also like how he is referred to simply as Mustache.

No crazy comments yet, but I am sure they will come.
