Sure. If I were in your position, I would. Why are you working so hard for? Most important is you can cover your monthly expenses without selling anything. Can you do that? If yes, you are ready to FIRE

If you need to sell off your assets to pay your monthly bills, you need to count correctly with huge huge cushion for safety.

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
