In fairness I did not see a negative connotation to that writing. You're attaching a negative tone to that writing.

That's so true. I have hundreds, maybe thousand of memories linked to hiking and camping with my parents (we went on 'kayak hike', and everytime I sail or just visit around gersais/guenersay, the emerald coast, corsica or southern France I make a trip down memory lane.

I agree, for those that prefer biking and camping vs Disney world and hotels, then Mister Money Mustache’s advice rings true and seems logical. For those that have other ideas of what consists of a ‘good time’, then there is a limit to the ‘cost cutting’ that can be achieved.

My main point is really this - be real with yourself on how frugal you can reasonably get sustainably. If you try to be as frugal as Mr Mustache and that is beyond your level of comfort, you are going to fail and/or be miserable and wonder why you are not enjoying your retirement because it is based on false figures.
