Burnout ho jayega FIRE ke chonchle mein.

I like to believe total mehnat sabko same karni hai. Personally i can work extra early years because i have time and energy, after a few years, i want relaxed life.

That 3 slider thing is what I remember
Time
Money
Energy

One will not have all 3 of this at the same time.
Early career time and energy will be there but not enough money.

Peak of career money and energy is there but no time to spend for ourselves
60+ time and money is there but physically unfit.

Fire is striking a balance of all 3. It can be done in many ways. Either earn huge before 40 and do what you like before you become too old.
Or take small breaks in between working and enjoy life.
Or be content with what we have and just move on.

In India, the concept of Retirement is where one imagines people saying at home, not doing anything, not travelling, etc. Not being disrespectful, but take our parents' generation for example... Right now, majority are with us at home. This is a very sharp contrast to how it is in west where retired people are chilling, travelling, pursuing hobbies, etc.

Batao, the contrast in experience. I am assuming this is true for metro cities and the like. In my hometown, it feels like people have never heard of the word 'retirement'. You'll hardly find people just chilling at home. My 75+ uncle still puts in a full shift daily with my cousin brothers at the shop.
