I dove in for a week or so way back when, but once I read enough posts to realize the actual pitch was “retire early except for the three jobs you have, one of which is blogging about ‘being retired’, and plan to go back to a decent-paying job with benefits if anyone in your family gets seriously sick, LOL, hope you’re not too old when it happens and then have trouble getting any job with benefits” a lot of the magic was gone.
