48. Chi Lam - The redesigned life of a property investor

Aussie Firebug

Today I’m speaking with Chi Lam, an ex team-lead in the medical devices industry who lives in Sydney with his wife and 2 daughters. Chi was recently featured in an ABC Everyday article where he shared his story about how he quit his full-time job in his mid-thirties and redesigned his life so he could spend more time with his family.

Some of the topics in today’s episode include:

• Who is Chi and when did he start thinking about financial independence? (06:37)
