Why my Milkman with 30cr isnt FIRE'ing
just had a talk with my milkman (he is our milkamn from over 25 years) well in his 50's. he is always asking me for money , so i got a impression he isnt well off but he is actually a cropepati with over 30cr Land in his name.
his son works a 18k job in a Hospital and he is doing milkman work from 25 years. i asked him why this lifestyle. he said i can sell one bigha of land and have 1.5cr, but he said it will spoil his kids and himself. i was impressed and flabberghasted as he is riding his 20 year old TVS and occasionally asks me for petrol money.
He isnt retiring because he says this is his routine from decades and just living on Money will spoil him off and his kids. so if you love your job there isnt any retiring.
I have respect for him as I have seen people selling their land, riding land rovers and their kids spoiled by drugs .
Trick is to look poor beside having so much money or this is some kind of romancing with poverty?
