How I Retired Early by 25 years old

I went from slaving away at my corporate finance job to retiring from corporate at just 25 years old, thanks to my Passive Income Ecosystem!

Here’s how it happened:

In 2017, I started my career as a Big 4 Auditor, making $59,000 a year. Not bad, but also not sufficient for bougie living in LA, so I had to get creative and figure out ways to make money beyond my salary. That was the start of my Passive Income Ecosystem. In a few years, my PIE created enough income for me to retire early. (But I haven’t retired yet!)

When the pandemic hit, my mental health also took a nosedive – I was diagnosed with several mental illnesses and had to go on medical leave. It took me several months to convince my doctor to let me “try” returning to work, and when she finally said yes and I returned to work, I was immediately FIRED. I felt betrayed and heartbroken, especially because I dedicated so much to my corporate job and was ranked “top performer” and in line for a promotion before I went on medical leave. That’s when I decided to turn “fired” into and FI/RE’d, and retire early from corporate.

Freedom Beyond Money

To be honest, I was not happy when I retired early. Sure, I was able to retire from corporate with a 7 figure net worth at 25 – a great achievement and privilege experienced by few, but I still felt depressed and empty inside.

I looked around and saw many others in similar situations. We “have it all” on paper, but we’re still miserable. We still feel stuck. We still feel like we’re not enough. That’s when I decided to double down on learning, healing and experimenting to relief myself from the mental suffering.

After reading countless books, going on a 10-day silent retreat (Vipassana), meditating for 2 hours a day for a full year, and taking countless courses on mental health, mindset, and manifestation, I finally figured out the missing puzzle piece.

Inner Freedom.

This is why I retired my old signature program, Early Retirement Academy, and launched Freedom U. True freedom is not just about having the money to retire early, but it’s also about having the mental capacity, courage, and liberation to choose what makes you happy. (for me, that includes pole dancing!)

If you want to have both the money AND the mindset to retire early, this is for you.
