I hate to sound mean, but this sound like a bunch of BS. I mean, I don't think it's as easy as you think. Though, with your brag topics, maybe you really do believe it's this easy for most people... But it's really not...

I do think some people could possibly do this. But not anyone. Even if it's because they have a hard tie finding work in their area...

I do believe most people can and that Im actually behind on overall money earning from spending extra time in school. I can retire about the same age as as someone who studied dental hygiene and started working at 20, as opposed to doing an additional 7+ years of education/training.

I mean, almost anyone (but not everyone) can go learn a trade and be a dental hygienist, electrician, welder, plumber, engineer, programmer, nurse and be making 60k by early 20s (and 100k+ in 30s depending on which you choose is achievable, though not needed to retire early). Not really lofty goals, and the path is straightforward. If work isnt in your area...move.

Obviously some people have medical issues or disability and cant move, but disability is not the standard.

Even someone making 30k can invest 10-15k a year and retire at 40-50yrs, but thats kinda a more extreme path and it would be better to focus on increasing income.
