Why do young people this generation want to retire early?

When talking about why this generation of young people want to retire early, I think we should start with the comparison of the previous generation of young people.

In the era of our parents, the reason why they had to work hard was because of the uneasiness and anxiety deep in their hearts. They had suffered hardships, tiredness, and maybe even hunger. During the early days of liberation, the lives of all Chinese people were difficult, and we could basically only eat meat during the New Year and holidays.

Eat meat

But now, more people may pay attention to healthy eating and safe eating. You can eat big fish and meat every day as long as you want. I looked at the price list today when I went to the supermarket. The sign says that the price of pork has dropped to less than ten yuan. For most of us, this price is already very low. Therefore, compared with the past, it can be said that today’s living standards are at least for most people. In human eyes, the problem of food and clothing has been solved.

Maslow

According to the principle of Maslow's needs, after solving the basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the next step may be to focus on self-realization, recognition, leisure and entertainment, etc.

Nowadays, many families are mainly vegetarian, let alone whether to lose weight or not. Let’s just say that some common diseases in life, such as fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar, are all caused by excess nutrition. In terms of diet, we no longer have the same situation as in previous years. When you live a life without worries about food and clothing, why are you still working so hard?

Then let’s continue talking. Why do we say young people?

Old people

Because when young people are no longer young in ten or twenty years, they will find that Money is not enough again.

After I just graduated, my parents are in good health, and my family is not even close to my own salary. I spend as much as I can earn. It doesn’t seem to have much impact if I earn less, and even those with better family conditions can do it. Achieve simple financial freedom.

As time goes by, our parents get older and we get married and have children. At this time, we will find that there seem to be more places to spend money. For example, we have to spend money to be hospitalized when we are sick. It costs money to invest in children’s education, it costs money to replace a car, it costs money to buy a house...

These can actually lead to a new topic, which is why 40-year-old people don’t work in the workplace. Dare to resign easily? I once read a piece of news that 40-year-old people are the most anxious because if they resign, they are worried that they will not be able to provide housing and car loans.

So young people often have not yet felt the importance of money, and they are not particularly short of money, so they care more about future enjoyment, that is, they hope to retire early. As their desire for money increases, they may feel that they should work more and accumulate more while they are still capable.

Maybe, this is growth
