All said, respectable - "live with almost no property at the cheapest rate available" is not terribly bad advice. But again, I think even following that advise would be a higher cost for lots of people in many places in the world.

But is that really the world we want to build? "Okay everyone, aim for the bare minimum?" I know I've been lucky in my life and haven't had to struggle often - but I don't think it's unfair to assume that everyone should be able to enjoy luxuries from time to time.

Nothing wrong with aiming for more but if you think you need 150k to be comfortable I think it says more about you.
