You can do theory if you present numbers and demonstrate how it works. We don’t know if he actually has the money.
Throwing out numbers which he constantly changes on his posts isn’t much fun.
If you want fun, pretend how your life would be if someone gave you a few million.
There’s fantasy then there’s telling people how you can make it on 400k, 500k, 700k, 750k, 800k (depending on which post you are believing that he made) and a actually demonstrating how it could work.
If he says he lives on 10k a year, great, but maybe he is leaving out things like utilities or food in that budget.
All we ask is how the numbers break down which he refuses to dilvulge.

I made it on 400k, 500k, etc etc.
I’m not just telling. I was raised by the internet majoring in logic, efficiency and argumentative prose.

He’s had a bunch of threads on this. On Mr money mustache people sometimes post their case studies in great detail and ask if they can fire? Those are believable because they show all assets, debts, how much saved, how much more they intend to save. Those are interesting because they are based on all the facts. So for people looking for guidance on how it’s done that’s a great blog and forum.

Everybody has a story and everybody has a different socioeconomic background. Hard to replicate — like how you could invest in the same stocks as someone else years later but that’s no guarantee you’ll make the same money. The ship has most likely sailed.
I’m simply boiling it all down to a number.
ERT (early retirement trinity) looks at nest egg, income and expenses.
If the ratio is right, one can be self sustaining in the United States — yearly income could be scary low (under $12,000) ...just depends on how you live.

More like WHERE you live. Didn't you pay 50-75K for your house? That itself should explain how everything else is so cheap where you live.

The “professor” *snicker* lives in an ivory tower.
Where 400 to 800k invested in a 3.5 percent returning account kicks off a lousy 25k that apparently isn’t subject to massive inflation risk. He’ll still be drawing 25k in 40 years...and be just fine!
