Mr 15 HWW alerted me that this financial independence blogger has a new update on his early retirement life. He seldom writes much nowadays (which is just about right because what kind of retirement blogger are you if you just keep earning money from your blog?) since he retired in 2015. Not working today would have made hi roughly retired for 6 years. We followed him because most of his posts are so open and goes into a lot of the details so that you understand the nuances very well. He is married, no children and his wife have as much as him. If we wish to delve into the math of financial independence, he classifies his FIRE as LEAN-FIRE, which is financially independent but retiring on a very tight income requirement. According to him its $30,000 a year on $950,000 (people who aims to lean-FI usually tries to keep the income to below $40,000 but I think that is just a rough gauge)....
