His current plan has no margin of safety. His goal is to meet his nut and it doesn't seem to allow for things that will come up that aren't under his current nut.

He's off to a good start, but a life in retirement is going to need more than he thinks he needs under today's plan.

I'm of the opinion he needs twice as much as he thinks he needs unless he decides to live even more frugally than he is now, and /or is able to contribute more than he is now. Maybe he marries well. That's a good thought. ... Ha!

I wish him well. I hope he does it, but it doesn't seem realistic to me.
