Agreed. I only found the Money Moustache guy a few weeks ago, but somehow I was born with the same mentality of him.

I always saved the majority of my income. Last year I retired from my corporate job at the age of 40. It really is possible to do.

As long as you don't have kids :-) Or perhaps you're counting on them to pay for their own education. But yes, if you save your money and budget well, retirement is simply an 'if condition' rather than a 'when.'

That said, he doesn't cover variable costs as much as he should (rent changes, taxes, sudden medical issue) this is something that fixed income folks have lived with so there is a lot of stuff out there for managing those events as well.
