The problem with early retirement is that it takes the most productive people in society (like you), out of the system. The incentives are misaligned. We need productive people to stay in.

I tend to agree. I highly recommend reading Atlas Shrugged if you haven’t already. Going Gualt is more of a withdrawal from from the pond full of leeches than early retirement. Productive people can’t help but be productive.
