People will read this as him jumping before he's pushed, but even if that is the case we should still celebrate this action. Everyone is entitled to say "Yeah, I'm retiring now. I don't want to work any more.", and go and sit on a beach and do nothing. Most of us will never have the resources to actually do it so when someone does I'm truly happy for them. This guy really is living the dream.

>Most of us will never have the resources to actually do it Mehhhh. Unless you get married before you have a job (and women usually are careful to prevent that) or are very loose with your money I don't think this is really true in our industry.
