Well, the author has one opinion, I have another: acquiring deep assets (income property, stock market, investment in businesses, farms, etc.) should be a natural thing that people do. You never know what might happen in life and building deep assets is a hedge. A wonderful result of conservatively building assets is that assuming things go well and you don’t need them, assets can be passed on to younger generations. What the author of the article is promoting is not financial independence, it is simply finding a pleasant job and then enjoy life. Good advice but no reason to not also build up assets.
