That reminds me of a specific thread that we all wear green hats...
that won't help while there's only 1 or 2 stock
I remember you were the one showing everyone the angle to tilt their green hats back then.
Random question, how much money do you guys think you need to retire in your country? I am thinking how much I need to earn to hit that target given I am looking for jobs again now.
Softbank JP storage servers 0.5/1TB restocked in case anybody was waiting on it.
In China, it’s something that over 90% of people can hardly achieve. Most of us can only wait until 65 or even older and live on a modest pension. And of course, many people don’t even have that pension at all.

In Singapore? It’s a lot, unfortunately
Based on several sources I read online, so about 2 million CNY (Top 10% household net worth in China)?
Ya I know so I am trying to get some ideas so maybe I can move to other countries to retire lol
that's called "FIRE Money" (Financial Independence, Retire Early) .
In India, 5 Crore ($600K) should be enough for living in a tier 2-3 city with smart planning.
Probably at least $1 million USD which seems impossible.
I think in the past, $1M would have been enough to retire, but we might need a lot more now given the current situation and inflation.
Not at all; resource allocation in China is chaotic, and the wealth gap is stark.
I have friends contemplating retiring in Thailand - or JB if you want to be closer to family
Not sure that will cut it anymore unfortunately. I guess one way to look at it would be to work backwards from a monthly budget and then see how much you’d need in a dividend portfolio to be getting that paid out
Well… if you’re talking about 2 million CNY, in major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, that might not even be enough to buy a small apartment.
Homeownership is a big deal in China — many people see owning a house as a prerequisite for marriage, especially from a traditional perspective.
In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the average monthly salary is roughly 10,000–30,000 CNY, while in most other cities it’s often below 5,000 CNY. Meanwhile, housing prices can range from a few hundred thousand to over 1.5 million CNY depending on the location.
So realistically, accumulating 2 million CNY is very difficult for most people. In fact, a large portion of people don’t even have 100,000 CNY in disposable savings.
Another way I am looking at this is to go for BaristaFIRE. It isn't as exciting as the traditional FIRE, but good enough to live a less stressful life.
I dont have $1M ,only 12.12$ for TOP 1 PROVIDER
Haha
If you only have $12.12 left and you are spending it on GreenCloud... you might have bigger problem to worry about
Retiring can led to early grave. I have seen people regressing faster than I thought. Instead of setting retirement as the goal. How about living comfortably without top 1% amenities?
Note:
Financially, public pension system require structure that resembles ponzi scheme.
