Before you plan to retire, plan to get out of office rat race first!

Read older post? Retire early, live longer?

Today, there are two letters in the  ST's forum page, A33 related to topic of retirement.

I believe that before one starts thinking of retiring, one should plan to "retire" from office rat race first, e.g. semi or quasi retirement (working just enough not to get sacked). But, to be able to do that one needs to have other sources of income generating capabilities to compensate it as you may be unexpectedly get fired!

So, if one mainly depends on active income from your salary to build up wealth; then it may difficult to get out from office rat race.
