I'm trying to put my finger on why people (including myself) find this piece a little (unintentionally I suspect) disrespectful and I think it's that there's something in the tone, and specifically in this phrase: "You can enjoy your life right now. You just need to spend less money on shit that you don’t need." That suggests that those who follow a more conventional route are in some way stumbling along dissatisfied with life and trying to fill the gaping void with gaudy trinkets and baubles only to find that it's not working. Maybe it's just me but I enjoy the holidays, I enjoy working every day with smart people, I enjoy my family, I enjoy the security of owning my own home and so on. There's definitely something in what he's doing - prioritising what's important to him and making that his goal rather than what might be more conventionally expect of him - but, there's something in the tone that, for me at least, doesn't make this point as well as it might.
