With respect to your first question, I was wondering the same thing. At $150K, federal/state/local tax - not even including property tax - is going to be over 30% unless there's some seriously dodgy accounting involved. Oh, but a lot of that was going untaxed into a 401k? Yeah, about that, the contribution levels mentioned are well above those allowed by law. Either there are some major inaccuracies and omissions in the OP, or the way to retire early is to break the law . . . or both.
