the hard part is not spending all your money.
it's the whole real estate / forced savings argument all over again.
step one to financial freedom is budgeting based on %, not actual dollars.
retirement after 17 years of working is easily attained if you can invest 50% of your take home pay. most people want the new car every 3 years to keep up with the Joneses, this is why most ppl struggle. that and poor financial literacy.
live within your means, retire at 50 is totally doable for many.
