From the article:

Full-time travel. We sold both of our homes and travel the country for a living.

Well having TWO houses to begin with certainly helps. The article is kind of a joke. Not putting it down but "early" retirement to these guys is a whole lot different than early retirement to most people.

They are people in their 30s that have a nest egg and income coming in and few expenses and live a gypsy lifestyle in an RV so no property tax or mortgage or expenses for child care / college. Great. Weird anecdotal case but good for them.

This is one guys choice. A majority early retirees stay in the house they’ve by then paid for, being smart enough to have done so by paying down their largest indebtedness ahead of schedule. The key is being debt-free.

Very good point. Selling two homes could provide them with considerable investible assets that can generate a lot of income, and therefore a level of security that is not enjoyed by most retirees.
