Yeah, well, if I didn't have a wife and 3 children then I would have been able to retire that early, too.

Most people would rather have a family with loving wife and kids than to be single & alone for their entire life.

I know the math is scary. But the sweet spot for early retirement is a two-income couple with no kids. They only need to fund the expenses of one household between them. It's harder to do it as a single.

But as you say, "You do you".
