> on benefits, hitting up the food bank? While you can't be sure of their net worth (current or planned), It's not uncommon to see people in /r/leanfire and /r/financialindependence/ talking about how to keep their income below poverty thresholds to qualify for medicare and other government assistance when they decide to retire with some occasionally chiming in that they are doing that exact thing successfully right now. Fortunately some of these programs also look at your investment and bank accounts to prevent people from doing just this.
