Why do people want to retire early in 30s?
Recently, since last few years retire early has been a talk of the town. But I never understood the reason behind it. I mean, what are you going to do for the rest of your life. Isn't sitting on a couch or a beach and doing stuff which will not reciprocate in anyone's life too boring?
- Unhappy with work
- Passionate about something else
- Just lost in the fire bubble.. Doing it cos others do it.
- Spend more time with family.
If they are passionate about something and working for it then how is it retiring? At least I won't consider it as retiring if you're still working good for something.
Working on a passion is much different than working for money in a corporate setting
Retirement is not like just sitting and staring at the wall. Its freedom. Want to write? Can do. Try photography? Can do. Feel like visiting Harry Potter sets in England, can do. Without any constraints.
So that they can prove that they are smarter and superior than other corporate "slaves" and make 10 youtube videos about how they did it.
I think you misunderstood the concept of FIRE. By retiring early it doesn't mean you stop working, it means you stop working for money. So it can mean that you go back to your hometown and do something there or start something of your own. But for that you have to invest and save the money so you can live off that for the rest of your life.
Because they have realized they are useless.a person shall only aspire not retire
