A young IT specialist living in the US announced that he had accumulated $10 million by the age of 28 and wanted to retire early. However, he expressed concern that this amount might not be enough for him in the future, and this confession sparked a wave of discussion on social media.
The editorial office reports that comments written under his post caused an even greater scandal. Many IT specialists mocked the young man's concern, claiming that $10 million was “too little” and noted that they possessed greater wealth.
One commenter said, “I had $30 million at your age, you’re already late,” while another suggested the importance of accumulating at least $50 million by the age of 30. Some users further amplified the young man's concern by claiming that $10 million would not be enough for retirement in the US.
On social media, this discussion continues to be widely shared, ironically being referred to as “the millionaires' problem.”
