I'm 50 and happily retired. I worked hard all my life from primary school all the way to my career. My dream of early retirement finally came true when I stopped working for others.

Today, I own a beautiful three bedroom condo in a luxurious upper end condo development which is the envy of many. I drive a good, sporty and reliable car.

I earn passive income from my investments. I also manage my portfolio actively.

Life is wonderful now as I no longer need to report to anyone. I am my own boss. I don't have to be stuck in morning traffic jams too! LOL!

My advice to the younger folks here is to work hard in your career so that you can enjoy a happy early retirement. I've never been so happy! LOL!
