:( Silly international restrictions (made even sillier that it is the BBC not allowing someone in the UK to see something hosted on the BBC).

Basically there is a quick and dirty article on FIRE which mentions MMM during a portion about downsizing your lifestyle. Other portions of the article are the standard 4% SWR, 25x expenses, get rid of debt, plan appropriately...etc.
