A few days ago, I read an article listing the world's richest people, including Mark Zuckerberg (33 years old), Warren Buffett (87 years old), Michael J. Saylor (60 years old), Changpeng Zhao (48 years old), Elon Musk (55 years old), and others.
They all possess extraordinary financial capabilities and deserve the title of financial freedom. They can live peacefully with their passive income, without the burden of hard work. They can even retire and create a paradise on earth for themselves and their families. However, if we pay close attention, they are all still actively working, whether in business or non-business activities.
Then, a contradictory thought arose within me. I, who am in the lower economic class, am often obsessed with achieving financial freedom and even make unrealistic promises to accelerate the achievement and quit working. Meanwhile, the world's richest people don't seem to think about financial freedom; they continue to be busy and actively working.
Now I'm wondering: are early retirement and achieving financial freedom just myths? Share your thoughts.
