Very interesting - thanks for sharing.
My guess is that they are expecting to lower their withdrawal rate after 5-10 years when they aren't traveling as much. That's pretty much what I've concluded makes the most sense for early-retirees in our 50s after reading a lot of the withdrawal strategy information that's been posted or referred to here. Of course, another dramatic fall in the markets too soon could make that risky.
