Mr. Autist
You fail to account for the price that upholding free market capitalism at all costs brings
You show only the limited upsides like muh iphones, muh working hours (increasing again now)
You do not show the waste your system produces, the breakup of communities, identities, nations, religions, in favor of turning of people into goyslop eating demoralized and atomized individuals like you

We hate your liberalism, your materialism, your utilitarianism, your naturalism, in a word: your autism

these FIRE calculators were done a few years ago when everything was much cheaper and stocks kept going up. $250K is going to be ver hard unless you have a paid off house/townhouse in a low cost of living area and you are cooking cheap meals, don't need a car, etc. an emergency can fuck up that plan. but there are people that spend less than a thousand a month still. you just have to be disciplined, cut costs, be creative, maybe roomates and/or do seasonal work. also you can now get treasuries at 4% and may reach up to 6%. you just have to hate working enough to do this.
