I'm sure plenty of Australians would love the idea of earning $75,000 a year in passive income and being able to retire at 45.

Some Aussies may love to work, while others may want to spend more time with loved ones, travelling or whatever else they want to do.

Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world.

When interest earns interest, investors can see their dollars grow into a much larger figure.

Imagine someone who is 20 years old right now and manages to set aside $1,000 each month to invest in ASX shares. Assuming the portfolio returns an average of 10% per year it would grow into a value of $1.18 million after 25 years.

Turning to another example, let's think about someone who starts five years later at 25.

Some of the names to consider thinking of that yield at least 7% or better include Future Generation Australia Ltd, Future Generation Global Ltd, Hearts and Minds Investments Ltd, WCM Global Growth Ltd and Charter Hall Long WALE REIT.

Investors seeking to retire with $75,000 in annual passive income would be well served by the above stocks, as well as other ASX shares that could deliver strong growth.
