Posted on a popular economics website:

"A former coworker of mine saved up $300k by being frugal over the years, and decided it was enough to retire on. He moved to a trailer on his own land in the mountains of Virginia, and now works a day or two a week for cash, when he feels like it. Good man.

So where have all the workers gone? No longer working for slave wages or sacrificing their time and life-force for corporate."
