Thanks for the link. Interesting article. Have to admire the bravery and independence of those who make such a life style decision. They seem to have thought it out very carefully and it must work for them for the time being. The absence of either transportation or clothing from their monthly budget must eventually be faced as things eventually need to be repaired or replaced. The amount allocated for health care seems very low, even for a young, healthy couple. Over time, that can be a budget breaker. They are fortunate that property taxes are so low. Most of all, I guess they need to hope that the increase in value of their stock investments grows faster than the rate of inflation, since they are looking at such a long horizon over which their nest egg must last.
