Is this sarcastic? Sanitizing individualism in the Christmas Eve is not for the faint of heart. Retirement by 35 means others must retire later than they should, unless you pretend to be self-sufficient.

I'm sorry if I had posted this at a time that bothered you. Regarding your concern, I actually believe that early retirement will increase the overall productivity of the society (because people can work things that they find passion and purpose in). So it wouldn't be at the expense of others (sorry if I understand your point incorrectly). I have addressed about this issue briefly in the "Productivity and fulfillment" section on the website. However, it is clearly lacking in depth. I will try to add more explanations on why I think that way.

> Retirement by 35 means others must retire later than they should, unless you pretend to be self-sufficient. The advice includes lowering your expenses by spending less. You are providing less total work and you are taking the value of that work back at a slower rate. So there's no reason anyone else has to work more or less. We simply don't need the lifestyle we are buying during our working years. Personally, I think it is time to drop the standard to a 30 hour work week. It's funny that there is usually no winning with an argument over change in work habits because either you hurt people by making them work or you hurt people by taking away their work. ( Somehow the status quo is accidentally perfect, unless of course you examine any part of it.)

I like individualism. The majority are easily told what to think by authority figures in the media, and people are constantly fooled into making stupid decisions and not seeing the bigger picture of events unfolding. Corporations will use people until they are no longer useful, and then kick them out. You need to put number 1 first.

  That jesus wants you to work to pay other people's pensions. Not sure if he ever articulated in this manner though

Non sequitur. One person retiring early makes no difference in when others retire.
