That’s my plan pretty sure it’s about income not assets so even if I own property I should still be able to get it as long as I make little enough

My mortgage, gas, and groceries probably add up to more than 50k so I don't think it would work for me.

What if he goes the duplex or triplex route, rent out the other units?

To figure out what you need, multiply what you want to live off by 25 and that's the total amount you need to cover you for life. 50k*25= 1.25 million, so no your 401k probably won't cover you. Check out early retirement blogs like Mr Money Mustache, he's covered a lot of the early retirement math and has info from others as well.
The 4% rule is outdated. I wish I could find that article with all the math, but for young retirees it's more like 7%

yeah that works too. rent one or two units out and it likely covers the mortgage and most housing expenses. once paid off it's extra income.

$50k per year, 3% increase in wage a year, putting in 12% into 401k, 5 years later you'd not even have $50k in that account. That account can't be touched till 59 1/2, from 30-59.5, assuming no contributions and it just grows on its own at 6%, would only be $250k, keeping in mind it'll be worth even less due to inflation. Retirement calculators want you having closer to $2m if your retirement CoL is $3.5k/mo, which it might be eventually due to inflation even with a paid off house. Any emergency during that time, especially before age 59.5, would send you back to work pronto.

If you're pulling 7% you better have a massive amount saved up, you'll burn through it almost as quickly as the account grows which defeats the purpose of a safe withdrawal rate. Likely I think you mean the percent has lowered to be on the safe side.

The one and only way I can see it working: $50k/yr for 5 years then retire… is if you had a paid off house already, and you invested $3k+/mo, so your cost of living (bills, groceries, insurance, property taxes) would need to be below $1.5k/mo. And even then, you'd wanna do some super high yielding investment strategies, like investing in growth stocks, maybe even trying to "gamble" a bit via stock options.

realistically how much do you think you will make on investment income. People usually way over estimate it.

pretty much with a good return you would have to invest around 200k to make about 1k per month if that.

So you would need to have over a million invested in order to make 50k per year. Thats assuming nothing goes south and you break even or even lose money. You are totally trusting someone you dont know with your future.
Yeah I don’t ever plan on retiring fully I’ll probably do some kind of work till I die but I wanna do it on my own terms.
When I say retire I mean retire from the full time rat race meat grinder I’ll still have a part time job or preferably some kind of laid back small business
