I Bought a $790K HDB and then left my $100K Job to Build a better life. [Chills 235 ft Asher Chua]

What would you do if you walked away from a six-figure corporate job in your 20s to completely reimagine your life?

We sit with Asher Chua, a former workaholic who traded quotas and endless sales calls for something entirely different. He’s experimented with side hustles, built his own consultancy, and even made some bold life decisions while juggling a wedding and buying a home. Here’s a taste of what you’ll hear:

• Why he left the comfort of a high-paying tech sales career
• How he manages risk while building a solo business
• What financial milestones gave him the courage to quit
• The surprising role his partner played in shaping his journey

And beyond the numbers, Asher shares his vision for family, freedom, and what a "good life" in Singapore means to him.

Tune in to hear a candid story about money, mindset, and making big life changes.
