Internet websites are notoriously hit and miss, so why I've no doubt you've got the smarts to do the early retirement blog, who knows when or if it will 'catch'. Personally, I prefer goals like 'post on the blog every week' and 'explore a new monetization option every month', and to let things take their course. Perhaps I'm partly saying this because I set ambitious (and pretty unfounded) target goals for Monevator a couple of years ago, which with the benefit of a couple of years experience I wonder what I was smoking. :) Appreciate you've got more experience with this than I did then though.
