A 29-year-old woman in Pune discusses a four-step plan to quit her corporate career and live on a farm

A woman has attracted attention online after saying, “I retired at 29,” and sharing how she chose a slower, farm-based lifestyle instead of a conventional career.

In an Instagram reel, Sneha Rajguru of @baapbetifarm explains her idea of “retirement” through four simple steps focused on land, food, nature and self-reliance.

HER 4-STEP PLAN

1. Buy a piece of land

Rajguru suggests purchasing a small plot and giving it a personal identity, using her own BaapBeti Farm as an example.

2. Plant fruit trees

She recommends growing fruit trees because they require relatively little effort and can continue producing fruit for years.

3. Grow your own food

According to Rajguru, cultivating your own food can provide greater independence and reduce reliance on external systems during situations such as lockdowns or wars.

4. Fill the space with flowers

Her final step focuses on mental well-being. She believes living around flowers and natural beauty can create a more peaceful environment and nourish the mind.

RETIREMENT ON HER TERMS

For Rajguru, retirement does not necessarily mean completely stopping work at a young age. Instead, it means choosing a lifestyle centred on peace, independence and nature rather than constant pressure.

Her approach has attracted attention from people interested in farm living, growing their own food and escaping the demands of a conventional work-life routine.

In her view, true retirement is about choosing peace over pressure, rather than reaching a particular age.
