  • 136 - Beyond FIRE: Exploring Semi-Retirement with Dexter Zhuang
    Aug 9 2024

    In this episode of the Adrian Tan Show, we welcome Dexter Zhuang, a financial innovator and globetrotter who left the US in 2019 to become a digital nomad.


    Dexter shares his journey from climbing the corporate ladder in San Francisco's tech industry to exploring various countries, ultimately landing in Singapore, and later Mexico City.


    He discusses his initial pursuit of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) strategy, why it didn't align with his values, and his shift towards a more balanced approach to financial freedom.


    Dexter also elaborates on the importance of finding work you love, the concept of semi-retirement, and how AI and cultural shifts are redefining conventional career paths.


    The conversation touches on the differences in financial perspectives across cultures, the value of side hustles for skill development and networking, and actionable advice for pursuing a fulfilling career.
