Rob, did you ever consider that your family may want you to go back to work so they don't have to hear endlessly how one can retire early?
Any Diehards attempting to follow Rob's path can do so if they follow Passsion Saving at your local Amazon or somewhere. That's PASSION SAVING.

Hi,
You have to admit that Rob is amazing. He has managed to become the center of attention. I don't for a moment believe his story or his investing views, but he is getting his 15 minutes of fame.

He reminds me of a cartoon I saw in the New Yorker. It showed two dogs with one using a computer. The dog using the computer said, "On the internet, nobody knows you are a dog." Best Wishes.

jason375 link: I briefly perused quotes by author and reader's comments about his "book".

The "book" is nothing more than a piata begging to be smacked. The "book" seems to be filled with random musings and rants, and written by an author consumed to lead others down a dead-end path along with their family and children. If a person spent as much time with their children as being spent posting gibberish on the internet, then I could at least see the argument of quitting one's job and living a basic survival lifestyle.
