Video Overview
The writer reports nearly $4.7 million in total assets across U.S. and New Taipei properties, stocks, and retirement accounts, while also accounting for leverage through a home-equity line. He was a senior technology manager, but a transfer brought more cross-border coordination, travel, responsibility, and less control of his time, prompting a possible career change. The speaker favors selling the New Taipei property to add liquidity and models about $90,000 of annual pledged withdrawals for living costs. He also suggests evaluating a sale of the U.S. home after the children enter college. If HVAC work is genuinely appealing, the speaker treats the license as an alternative source of income and lifestyle. These assessments are specific to the case.
