No more liabilities, living happily with family in a new, fully paid condo.

Family net worth, including condo is only about $3m. Worse than my contemporaries, but I am contented.

No need car as I am a taxi driver, saves a lot on transportation. My neighbours are my regular customers. I am their resident taxi uncle. I am not ashamed as they know my story, I was a successful executive but due to bad office politics, I had to go.

I am feeling very lucky. Even though I am a taxi driver, I can give many good business and life advice to my passengers.
