Aren't you a lawyer? You should be raking in much more than me. Well obv dunno about NZ, you could in HK, that's for sure. Maybe in NZ everybody's friendly towards each other, ha
Not that I'm complaining too much. Retiring very early is currently one of my pet thoughts (is that a term even?) but I gotta admit it never even crossed my mind before I started raking in the HK lollars. It was not just that though, I think a major influence was also my sparetime travels to SEA where I met a many who are just slacking and living off budgets much smaller than mine.
In Germany you hardly meet anyone not working or family. Usually everybody is just complaining about his job all the time but nevertheless working until legal retirement age, getting a sh***y pension and dying of a heart attack or something a few years after if not before
