In the west, everything is very expensive simply because people have the money to pay that much for it. We are working our entire lives with temporary relief now and then with overpriced alcohol. It sucks.

How much money did you save up and what monthly costs of living are you expecting? Would love to hear more about your situation!

In dollars, about 500.000. So if stocks go up 1%, thats 5000 dollars.
My monthly costs are about half of that. So im thinking it should work out fine. Its a risk of course, but its not a huge risk to take. I think its going to be fine.

I hope you also can get out of the rat race when you feel you had enough. :) For me I just got sick of it at 50.
