A Middle-Class Perspective on the Rat Race!

I've been noticing a lot of posts about people making tons of money and having huge net worths. It's made me think about my situation. My parents always told me that having a roof over my head, food to eat, and no debt was a big deal. I believed them, but now I see some people doing much better. I've worked hard, but saving up a decent amount of money has taken me a long time. I'm still nowhere near as wealthy as some people I know. Getting caught up in the rat race and comparing yourself to others is easy. But I try to remember that everyone's situation is different. I'm grateful for what I have, and I'm going to keep working hard. Maybe one day I'll be able to retire early and live a comfortable life.

Your parents are right about being privileged . I don’t see people at 25 earning crores per annum (I studied in premium institutes) unless they are working in the US specifically in Tech . Comparison is the thief of joy.

Times have changed. Our parents had simpler lives, but today's generation often focuses on materialistic things and social status. Many people retire early by carefully managing their finances. Am i right ?
