About

People worldwide now seek education and work diligently to earn money quickly, aiming to retire early or pursue their passion as a career once financially stable. The volatile geopolitical situation and fluctuating business models drive the youth to work harder in their early careers, amass wealth, and achieve early retirement. Their goal is to let their hard-earned money work for them in later stages of life.
