You Score Your Own Life; You Do Not Need Others to Score It
Early retirement is something to be proud of; true wealth is not a lifetime of work, but the freedom to be with family and live the life you truly want.
Being able to retire early is something to be proud of. People who are still working are laborers (in ancient times, they were slaves); is having a job something to be proud of? This is a distorted set of values!
When people reach the end of their lives, if you ask what they regret most, they will usually say that they did not watch their children grow up or live for themselves. No one ever says, "I regret not spending my life working hard at a job."
What people usually regret is spending their entire lives knowing only how to work hard at a job. This is what I regret most, so do not do what people around the world end up regretting: "knowing only how to keep working all the time."
Being able to stop working, have money to spend, and spend it whenever you want—that is real capability. You can take your parents traveling and treat your family to meals, showing them that you are happier without working. Then they can understand.
Go out more often with your wife, and spend more time watching your children grow up, just as I do.
True wealth in life is not working for an entire lifetime, but having freedom for an entire lifetime. I hope that one day, you too can join us and live the life you truly want.

If you want to invest, just buy index funds. In fact, most of other investment-type insurance policies are selling people off like sheep, so don’t be fooled! Many insurance and annuity sellers only emphasize how much you can return in the end, how much you get back, and how much you pay out, without emphasizing whether you need it. Many people only hear that they can get back 20,000 yuan a year
Chapter 97: How to Judge Funds and Distinguish Good From Bad
To compare fund expense ratios, it makes more sense to compare between funds of the same profile and type. For example, comparing QQQ to Fidelity Vanguard Charles Schwab's index funds is inaccurate. This is because there are no index funds focusing on QQQ (Nasdaq 100), that is, their fund names are not Nasdaq 100 Index Fund. Therefore, if you refer to an index, you must clearly mean
