Basically some noise from my dad

He’s very boomer like and very pro China

He thinks like the economy is bad because the youth are lazy..

That’s despite he benefited of working a nice western 9-5 job and a healthy pension 😂

If I do retire early he’s gonna prolly nag a lot

That’s prolly the biggest hurdle

wah bro so young already want to stop working?

stop working means no more income from  your business?
going to rely on investment return only..

later kahwin got anak enough or not?
the road in front is very long bro...

cannot be so selfish  think for ourself only.......  

I can understand how tiring it is, then on top of that the nuances from parents.

The difference is, I already made that decision, with even less.

Perhaps you can start off by taking half a step.

1. Cut either one of your business. Especially the one that is eating your time up. But don't fill up your emptied out time with the remaining business.

Use that time to rest and do something different.

2. If your remaining business is profitable with a good margin, spend a little and hire a PA to help you with the business. Let PA handle the normal BAU stuff, while you do the decision making and also oversee the business from time to time.

If you don't have the margin to hire a PA, train your team in the business to take over the tasks and upskill them so that they can handle the BAU even if you are not available.

3. Then spend some time with your parents, take them to travel and experience new things together. I don't know whether you notice or not during your 7 years streak, your parents aged significantly. I did.

As much as sometimes you may find them annoying, your time with them is running out.

Last but not least find time to reconnect with your friends and hangout with new people. The reason you want to do this, is to have someone that you can talk to at the end of the day, hangout talk shit and do something together. If you are lucky, you might even meet your significant other.

Hope this helps.

yes that is sound advice  :thumbsup:

now the hippy new gen thinking
is is slog like hell nonstop
then felt burn out
and want to stop work at very early age

best example is someone in here...
he work non stop sapu all over times  works
stinge to the max
live poorly below M40 

new cult(ure)?

bro what is lacking is time management, not no time!
you dont work till  you cant do anything else.

if time cant be bought, then money should be irrelevant.
why must premise you already have enough money?

Most people are crushed by the work they dont like
thus wanna run as fast as possible,
aren t you such an example?

then find the work you like
not by escapism
