Yes, I would continue working if my house burned down. Does that seem like a good time to retire, to you?

And no, I don't have my freedom. This is just another way of saying I'm not independently wealthy. Few people are.

That kind of freedom has to be earned. I have my plan for earning it, and I have a much better shot at it than most. Part of that plan is being frugal, part of it is working for an income.
