How high is the percentage of people who work full time and are able to retire at 40?
My guess: Not very
I'm not sure what kind of biased view you have but that's absolutely not what's common.
- esoterica 7y agoIf you get paid enough to work part time by choice, then you get paid enough to work full time for only part of the regular working lifespan.
- dewey 7y agoNot everything in life is by choice. Maybe you have to work part-time because of kids, illness, no other jobs being available, location etc. and just get by through other support on top of your part time income. That's a very simplistic view of the world that's maybe true in a small bubble but definitely not in the real world.
