The other guy vacations to hawaii to surf, but doesn't mention what he does for income.

The sentence immediately following the mention of Hawaii states Price’s version of the simple life costs $5,000 a year, which he earns from publishing a wilderness zine and doing odd jobs around Joseph, his eastern Oregon town.

Assuming he is flying to Hawaii, that would set him back at least $600. That's 12% of his yearly budget. Not to mention the fact that actually living in Hawaii is not cheap, and the article said he does this all winter.
It's not too expensive for Mr. Money Moustache:

MMM is postmodern art. He goes to huge contortions to pretend that he doesn't work for his living as a blogger and handyman.
Really? Is he lying about his spending or is he lying about his income from savings & investments?
This literally requires that you know someone in Hawaii that will put you up FOR FREE.
