As many workers face workplace stress, the dream of early retirement has become increasingly common. A user on an online forum shared that although he has about $14,000 in monthly passive income, he is concerned about the company's future and is starting to consider retirement.

This 37-year-old man reported an annual income of approximately $180,000, but recent pressure from a new department has led to discomfort about his future income. He is married and has no children, leaving him questioning if he can achieve his retirement goals.

He posted a message on Dcard showcasing his asset situation, which sparked a lively discussion among netizens. Many shared different opinions, with some suggesting that if his financial situation permits, he could consider retirement, while others emphasized the importance of reaching mutual understanding with his wife. There were also warnings about the instability of his assets and the need for cautious investment practices.

The post shared on PTT drew criticisms regarding the reliability of private investment funds, with some commenters stating it sounded like a scam, leading to further debate.
