From those blogs, it looks like you have to be lucky both financially, investment-wise and timing wise (timing is huge. My parents paid 130,000 grand for their SFH in the late 90's. I can't even find a cardboard box for the cheap), a high salary pretty quickly out of school (also luck) and most importantly, you have to be the kind of person who has no problem doing nothing and revolving your life around saving money.

I'd rather make some poor financial decisions and enjoy the #### out of my youth over working and saving throughout my youth so I can be 45 and finally ready to enjoy life to the extent that I have in my 20's.

I guess you'll be able to take some awesome couples cruises with geriatrics and families and have plenty of time for Bingo and watching Ellen.

What will you remember on your deathbed? All that money you saved?
