About this listen
Last year I was asked by personal finance writer Jonathan Clements, who founded and edits the blog https://humbledollar.com/, to submit an essay about my own financial journey. The process required considerable personal reflection. His recently published book My Money Journey – How 30 People Found Financial Freedom provides many interesting stories. It inspired me to conduct interviews with other contributors.
This is the fourth episode of a series of talks with these writers. My guest Jiab Wasserman, grew up in Thailand, and received an engineering degree at a top university in her native country. Two years later, she moved to the United States to pursue her MBA degree.
Overcoming challenges as a frugal, single Mom who worked in a traditional male field, Jiab became a successful financial services executive. At the peak of her career, she retired at the relatively early age of 53, to travel and live overseas with her husband.
