I used to read a few of those blogs and for some (most?) of them even the RE part was a lie. They rented out property and had to take care of it and had some side hustles here and there.

Granted, they retired from their old dayjob and worked way less than before and with more freedom - which is totally a valid lifestyle - but it's at least a bit disingenious calling this retirement.
