    These are the people telling you they deserve to feast while you starve because they’re so much smarter and better than you.

      Out of curiosity - I read an article by her where she told the story of a married woman who retired at 38. He retired at 41. Somehow the couple bought a house in Lake Tahoe when she was 30. She was a political consultant and her husband was a political pollster. But I’d be willing to bet that one or both of them is a fail son or daughter.

      She’s trying to build her brand as an author on “retiring early”.

        Handing over a year’s salary to a stranger is probably not going to help with retiring early.

        If she only has $80k in combined checking and savings and was able to retire at 38, then $50,000 must mean absolutely nothing to her lol. Probably a landlord or heiress to some family fortune. Same with the husband.
