He's saying "i live frugally, be like me" then doing something that doesn't scale. We can't all be the landlord, rent seeking.

  He says: Earn a lot, spend little, invest the difference. Once the revenue of your investments covers your spending, retire. That's what he's saying. And the key is indeed living frugally, which makes it all easier. And yes, he rents out houses, that's his investment. I don't see anything wrong with this. If everyone was a landlord, then that would be a pretty bad investment now would it?

    I disagree with his wealth appropriation and the idea that he is somehow living frugally whilst relying on that appropriation. Fundamentally we cannot all claim the labour of others using the system to force their hand.

      > we cannot all claim the labour of others using the system to force their hand. What does this even mean? He is providing a good/service, and people are willing to pay him for that good/service. He's not living off the pain and suffering of others...
