Interesting article, but at the same time she makes specific choices that limit her income to that amount as well. Spending time as a cub reporter for a community newspaper rather than working, say, in a restaurant or some other low end job for a bit of extra money is pretty telling.
Effectively, she "lives well" because she has redefined well. She also appears to spend much time and effort on saving a few pennies, with huge opportunity costs that limit her ability to make money.
She has certainly chosen a lifestyle, but I can't wait to see how it turns out when she gets to retirement age, loses some of her mobility, and becomes a burden on the state or family because she never truly saved anything in her lifetime.
