Having ‘mini retirements’ as a way to enhance the quality of life


HSBC Malaysia's Yip said HSBC’s Quality of Life study found that affluent Malaysians are diversifying their wealth to preserve their lifestyle and plan for future generations.

KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly half of affluent Malaysians are planning “mini retirements” – intentional career breaks lasting one to two years – with many even hoping to take several across their lifetimes, according to a survey.

HSBC’s “Quality of Life: Affluent Investor Snapshot” revealed that 50% of Malaysians with investable assets of US$100,000 (RM420,800) to US$2mil (RM8.42mil) intended to take a mini retirement, with 53% of them eyeing two to three such breaks, ideally starting at age 46 and repeating once every seven years.
