>and that he makes 400k/year from the site

Fool-proof retirement plan that anyone can follow:

1. Have 400k/year of passive income.

2. Retire.

Of course the timeline in this case was:

1. Retire

2. Live of savings as planned for years

3. Start a blog that ends up making money

According to his site, he was already retired when he started blogging.

Be that as it may, there's a pretty big difference in financial security between retiring at 30 with $600k in the bank (where one financial emergency puts you on pretty thin ice) and retiring with $600k in the bank plus $400k/year extra income.
