In my early blog, I happened to talk about my son's early retirement. In our life, I have never asked his yearly earning in respect of his privacy. However, I just made presumption that his previous earning was in the range of 6 figures. That,in some respect,belongs to high earning in America. I talked to my son, that, in my personal opinion, working 10 years in the same job with 6 figures does not present good pictures. Let us say that you presumably made 1.4 million in 10 years and spend half of the earning, then bought yourself a Tokyo individual home. I don't think that the money in the bank of yours could provide a decent and/or less average living for the rest of your life. Remember this! You got your wife and kids, and you will have to put food on the table for another 30 years.
In simple calculation, provided even if you could have same job and same earning, you will have to work for another 15 years. Then you may talk about your early retirement. Well, you know as well as I I know that we are an ordinary people with average IQ. We can not expect any miracle like hiting a jackpot in your life. 15X$120,000= 1.8 million minus half spent for living, You would have altogether 0.9 million left for retirement life. That, in due respect, would be good enough for a standard living for a senior couple.
