Infosys founder N R Narayana Murthy’s advice on working long hours has sparked debate, but from a personal finance perspective, achieving early retirement goals requires both effort and smart work. Retiring early doesn’t mean stopping work but gaining control over your time to follow your passions. To make this dream a reality, clear financial goals and productive work hours are essential. Investing regularly towards defined goals, similar to chasing a target in cricket, is vital. However, patience in the equity market is crucial, as it moves through cycles. Consider aligning your financial choices with your retirement goals, focusing on savings and investments to create wealth over time.
