You are right. Bankers in their 40s can easily retire if they got retrenched. Engineers in their 40s will have to drive a taxi if they got retrenched.

Your passive income in retirement can even be higher than the salary of those in top management of the manufacturing and engineering sectors.

If you're in top management in the manufacturing or engineering sectors, you will need to work longer and can only retire in your late 50s. You will not be retiring in a landed property and can only afford to retire in a cheap $2m condo. Your annual salary package can be less than the passive income of those retired top management in the financial sector.

This is the reality.
