After many years of the fast paced, long hours, jet setting corporate life, I have decided to slow down as it is affecting my health. I am now semi retired at 48.

I have earned enough to be financially independent. My home, a beautiful condo unit, is now free of mortgage. Besides my home, I also own a paid up investment grade property, which is being leased out, giving me rental income.

In my semi retirement, I hope to give back to the business world by helping SMEs grow. I will play a mentor and advisory role.

I will also be actively managing my stocks portfolio. This portfolio will generate trading profits as well as dividend income.

I will enjoy holidays more often. This will definitely be different from my past business trips.

Most importantly, I will take better care of my health.
