I retired at 29 through startups and investing: here is exactly how
About this episode
This week, Sim shares the deeply personal story of becoming financially retired at just 29 years old and reveals the exact strategies that helped her achieve FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early). She breaks down her FIRE number, the investing habits and side hustles that accelerated her wealth, plus the mistakes she wishes she avoided along the way. Sim also opens up about the surprising reality of “retirement,” why financial freedom didn’t look the way she expected, and how reaching FIRE changed her relationship with work, money, and purpose.
