I think what Scott was meaning was more of the modern day FIRE people. The dream of saving enough to life off investment income while doing things that you have always dreamed. Travel, building your own company, volunteering, spending time with family, etc etc. It's a pretty big movement nowadays for people who bust their ass from mid 20s until 35-50 and retire early due to being financially independent from saving more than 50% of their come and investing it in the markets to get to their FIRE goal $ where their lifestyle is sustainable purely on investment returns without touching their actual honey pot.
There is a good sub reddit for it /r/financialindependence - worth a read now and again.
