A 23-year-old Russian man has stunned the internet by securing full retirement benefits after working for just two years, thanks to a legal loophole.

His story has gone viral, sparking discussions on social media about pension policies and financial strategies.

According to Oddity Central, the man leveraged a special provision in Russia’s pension system meant for military personnel and certain government employees. By fulfilling specific requirements, he managed to qualify for lifelong pension payments at an age when most people are just starting their careers.
