My Boss Says I'm Crazy for Wanting Early Retirement at 40 💸

Hey everyone, I'm losing my mind here and really need your thoughts! 😩 I'm 26 and completely burnt out from my corporate job. The daily grind is killing me, and I've been researching ways to escape this rat race early. After running countless calculations, I'm convinced I can retire by 40 with around $3 million saved. But here's where it gets messy - I mentioned this to my company's financial advisor during our benefits meeting, and they basically laughed at me! 😤 They insist I need to work until 54 to have a "safe" retirement with $6 million. That's 14 more years of this soul-crushing routine! Am I being unrealistic? Should I trust the "expert" or follow my gut? Those extra 14 years feel like a lifetime when you're already dreading Monday mornings. I desperately want those years back to actually live my life. Anyone else dealing with this kind of workplace pressure about retirement planning? 🤔 #JobCareer #EarlyRetirement #WorkplaceBurnout
