有錢之前Before Wealth EP1 從亞太副總到自由人生（上）From VP to Freedom【HsiMei迭代中】#財富自由 #選擇自由 #financialfreedom #life
From APAC VP to early retirement—and a life on his own terms. In this episode of Before Wealth, I sit down with my career coach, David Yeh. David previously worked at Trend Micro, Blizzard, and Microsoft, and later retired from his role as APAC Vice President at Amazon. Today, he serves as an independent board director for public companies, while also being a band leader and guitarist. But what I’m most curious about isn’t how successful his career was. It’s this: How does a highly paid tech executive actually get to the point where he no longer needs a paycheck? David’s retirement wasn’t the result of getting rich overnight, nor was it a sudden decision to walk away from work. He spent years intentionally planning his finances, investments, risks, and lifestyle—and thinking through an even bigger question: Is financial freedom really just a number, or is it the ability to choose how you want to live? In this episode, we talk about how he built his first meaningful wealth, the key decisions that shaped his path, and how he planned for retirement. --- 從亞太副總，到提早退休、過上自己想要的人生。 這集《有錢之前》， 我訪問我的 Career Coach——David Yeh。 他曾任職於趨勢科技、暴雪、微軟， 並從亞馬遜亞太區副總退休 現在是上市公司獨立董事、也是樂團團長兼吉他手。 但我最好奇的不是他的職涯有多成功，而是： 一個高薪科技業高管，到底怎麼一步一步走到「不再需要靠薪水生活」？ David 的退休不是一夕暴富，也不是某天突然決定不幹了。 他花了很多年，提前規劃財務、投資、風險與生活方式，也重新思考一個更重要的問題： 財富自由，到底是一個數字，還是一種選擇的能力？ 這集我們跟他聊一聊他的第一桶金、關鍵選擇、退休規劃。 #財富自由 #選擇自由 #人生選擇 #財商 #financialfreedom #Chioces #investing #longterm #life
