What kind of investigation?


Have you ever heard of the FIRE?

It


's taken from the first letter of the English word'Financial Independence, Retire Early'.

It is a word for people who are preparing for retirement funds from their 20s with the aim of early retirement in their late 30s and early 40s.


Job Korea and Albamon conducted a survey of 1,117 adults in their 20s and 30s, and 57% of the respondents answered that they were willing to become a fire tribe.

Their target assets for early retirement are an average of 430 million won, and their desired early retirement age is an average of 39 years old.


To become a fire tribe, two-track efforts are required, spending will need to be reduced, and on the other hand, investments to increase assets will also need to be made.

Eating out 56%, buying clothes 47%, and drinking alcohol 45% in order of cost reduction efforts.

In terms of investment, stock investment was 51%, which was considerably higher than the 30% deposit.



Why are the 2030 generations dreaming of'early retirement'?


Tvridge, a specialized public opinion polling agency, conducted a survey on the public perception of wealth at the request of the Kookmin Daily in December of last year.

According to the survey, three out of four citizens, or 76%, believe that they cannot accumulate the desired level of wealth with current earned income.

Also, when asked,'Do you think the opportunity to earn money by working hard is disappearing?' 72% answered'yes'.


By age, 82.6% of respondents answered that it is difficult to accumulate wealth through earned income in their 30s, and 7 out of 10 respondents in their 20s said they wanted to resemble the person who made money through stock and real estate investment.

It is interpreted as showing the frustration of a new 2030 society student who realizes how limited the achievements made by personal efforts are.

In other words, rather than dreaming of early retirement, it seems that more and more young people choose the path of the Fire tribe with self-rescue for an uneasy future.
