Ethan Nguonly, a 22-year-old software engineer at Google, is trying to achieve financial independence and early retirement with a target of accumulating $5 million (roughly Rs 41 crore) by the age of 35, as reported by CNBC.
He learned the importance of investing from his parents and pursued a rapid education path to avoid student debt.
In 2021, he joined Google with an annual income of $194,000 (Rs 1.60 crore), including bonuses.
Nguonly has saved $135,000 (Rs 1.11 crore), invested in various accounts, and acquired real estate in Florida and California.
He faced a setback in cryptocurrency investments but remains committed to early retirement and expanding his real estate holdings.
