I also think it better to retire at 50+ rather than earlier even if one can achieve FI around 40+. There is just too much uncertainty with the financial market .. I know if investment screw up in the 50s , at least one is not too far away from collecting retirement fund or CPF payout as a fallback in the 60s
this is the work ethic of the old generation that the new generation don't seem to understand. work hard at your job to increase your career prospects and income at the start.
New generation all want to get rich by stock trading and retiring at 30.
instead of trying to target retirement at 30, targeting retirement at 50+ will give you a lot more passive income to go travelling etc... as long as you keep healthy and fit.
