Early retirement is all about preparing. A good strategy can make or break you.

People who have retired early are reportedly returning to work.

​

1. Interest rate hikes due to inflation. This leads to 2. A drop in the value of assets such as stocks, real estate and cryptocurrencies.

3. The importance of work is being highlighted again and 4. People are returning to work due to regret about their early retirement.

This is what is being reported.

​

Recently, there has been a sustained upward trend in asset prices that is unprecedented in the past.

However, it is too hasty to declare early retirement based on the assumption that this upward trend will continue.

It is impossible for all assets to continuously rise in value.

Therefore, those who are retiring early with 'capital gain' assets are unlikely to succeed.

​

On the other hand, when looking at those who have successfully retired early,

Many of them have assets that provide a stable income.

​

They all seem to have a sense of peace of mind and the resulting freedom.

(It is said that because of the similar feelings of freedom, they recognize each other.)

It's easy to tell when they look alike.

​

They do not think about returning to work.

​

If the early retirees mentioned in the article had set up their assets with an income-generating focus,

or had transitioned their existing assets, they would not have returned to work.
