Early Retirement Advantage Podcast

Early Retirement Advantage Podcast

By Cherry Tung | FI/RE & Freedom Mentor

After getting fired after my medical leave at 25 years old, I decided to retire from corporate all together. This is not your typical "look at my perfect life" podcast. This will cover all things financial independence, early retirement and mental health awareness with unfiltered raw-ness. Together we will create a movement of reaching financial freedom and early retirement way before traditional retirement age. Why? Because we are more than our J.O.B.

117. Stop Manifesting Your Dream Life

Hey there! In this episode, I'll dive into why it might be time to lay off the whole "manifest your dream life" idea and focus on finding happiness in the here and now. I'll discuss about why obsessing over specific desires can actually lead to more stress, and how letting go of expectations can bring more guaranteed joy into your life.

116. Surrendering Vs Taking Initiative

116. Surrendering Vs Taking Initiative

One of the most confusing parts of taking the Surrender Experiment to real life was: does this count as surrendering? I kept second guessing myself on every decision I make and every action I take, until I realized that the “test” is simple. Whether you are truly surrendering was never about which action you take.

112. Tapping into my Femininity

Life is not just about the doing, the productivity and the money. As I made the intention to embrace my femininity, I also decided to challenge myself to try things that used to freak me out, like pole dancing. After all, my intention for 2024 is “be sexy”.

111. Financial Freedom is NOT True Freedom

111. Financial Freedom is NOT True Freedom

Do you believe money equals freedom, and the more money you have, the more freedom you have? I used to believe that too, until I hit my FI number, got myself to a place where I can live without a job, without active income, and realized that I’m still so far from being truly free. The counterintuitive truth about freedom is that you cannot be free until you let go of control, expectations and preferences. You can’t force freedom to happen. You can only surrender for freedom to happen.

110. What is True Freedom

110. What is True Freedom

In this world, we are taught about different standards and what we should and shouldn't have, and little do we know that it's making us ungrateful for things we have, resulting in us feeling imprisoned from our thoughts. Achieving true happiness means being free from your negative thoughts and becoming more grateful for the things you have in life. How about you? What's your definition of true freedom?
