I'm not going to write a long rant but I do think it's more than a bit hypocritical of you to stand there and tell other people what to do with their lives. What exactly earned you the right to tell people what to do, especially when you seem to be so critical of other people commenting on your life or your lifestyle?
I guess the main point here is: show me a single investor who plans to reach their goal of financial independence in 15 years by using unemployment checks?
If someone prefers to live frugally, save what they earn from work and spend the last 40-50 years of their lives doing things they love instead of things that they need to in order to get money... then why can't they do that? What does it take away from you if someone works 10-15 years, saves everything, invests it and then retires on some island paradise somewhere?
Now if you are talking about those who stay at home, cash in unemployment checks and love to live their life with tax payers money... then yeah I get your point.
