Referring to the FIRE thread from a few days ago. I don’t understand the people who aim for 25CR as their retirement target.
The truth is very few are realistically going to get to 25 CR by 40 or whatever your FIRE age is. I don’t doubt you can get there by 60 at all.
But that’s just how the career pyramid is stacked. 25 at 40 is hard. Accepting this is realizing that one of the important aspects of retiring early is being realistic with the end goal.
Just my 2 cents
40 age for early retirement is ambitious but you may need 25cr if your today’s package is 50+
Healthy FIRE target by 40 is 5 Crores. Anything more is on the ambitious end
May be 25 lakhs dude
