To be fair, you picked one of the world's highest cost of living locations to live in, let alone retire in.

I'm on track to retire in my thirties, or earlier, here in North Carolina. Not hard at all on a mechanical engineer salary.

Can you explain a bit your strategy? Something like MMM?

Yep, pretty much MMM strategy. I've also incidentally got a bit of bitcoin investment that might be a 'shortcut' if it goes to the moon. Otherwise the slow and steady wins the race.
