In summary, early retirement is a choice. The global economy is making it difficult to achieve it, but we can still try our best to plan toward enjoying it by saving, investing, and healthy living.
In my estimation early retirement is a choice if you leave in an economy that is already developed. In an economy where the government actually cares for her citizens and have been able to provide the basic and amenities for them. But if you leave in an economy that is still developing early retirement will only be a wish. Because you can't retire early and have it going good for you. In this type of economy you have to work twice as hard to even erk out a good living for yourself and while you are at it retiring early would be the last thing on your list. That is why you should do work that you love, take time out to relax, eat healthy, invest no matter how little even while you are actively working.
We can decide to retire anytime that we want it and this should be our decision especially when we have ready prepared well for the near future we are going to stay without working. Retirement should be a stage of life when we need to rest and enjoy our old age. This is the age some people are using to hustle more because they do not plan these well and prepare for retirements before it ever comes. We need to be always prepared and get ourselves in different investments than could being huge profits for ourselves so we can always make money from time time without over stressing about how the future is going to look like.
