Financial independence in our 30's may not be possible, but I think he might argue that it's better to work toward some goal of financial control rather than blazing through life in the consumer/debt fast lane as many (most?) people do.

Oh, for sure. I just feel the same way about MMM as I do about Dave Ramsey's overly-rosy projections whenever he talks about the stock market, or Cd .10 solar cars that will never see production.
Actually, that's a fairly apt analogy, now that I think about it some more. We all modify our cars in an attempt to lower drag coefficients, knowing that these ultra-efficient cars are out there and emulating some of the ideas implemented on them; we can modify financial behaviors too. But if you're starting with a 30-year-old Silverado, you'll never make it to 100mpg no matter how much you do.
