say the “Singaporean dream” is no longer 5Cs—cash, car, card, condo, country club; now it’s FIRE—financial independence, retire early In this highly commercialised, competitive economy and high-paced
working environment, someone who wants to achieve 5Cs in cash, car, card, condo, and country club is not easy. In short, he/she must build a successful career and be financially stable and independent.
Even so, I believe every one of us wishes for financial independence and can retire early. However, in reality, due to variable restraint factors, I am also sceptical that everyone can achieve financial independence and afford to retire early. After all, we should ask ourselves the core purpose of opting for early retirement. Do we have a clear plan, vision, or objective after retirement?
Besides having the vital “vitamin” – a robust financial foundation and well-being for leading a cosy and free-and-easy retirement, an individual’s mental well-being should also be paramount.Hence, equipping with plentiful spiritual sustenance is essential to sustain the continuity of a healthy lifestyle in someone’s retirement.
