From Wall Street Grind to Semi-Retired Bliss: One Man's Journey to a 35-Hour Work Week

A former Wall Street professional, Khe Hy, has shed light on his transition from a demanding 70-100 hour work week to a more balanced 35-hour schedule, which he describes as 'semi-retired.' For 14 to 15 years, Hy endured the intense pressures of the finance industry, where constant work thoughts, frequent travel, and health concerns like high blood pressure and hair loss were common. Now, as his own boss, he enjoys the freedom of not setting an alarm for nine years, walking his children to school, volunteering, and surfing daily. He also maintains a flexible schedule with no meetings before 11 AM, no meetings on Fridays, and takes most summers off. This significant shift in work-life balance has led him to feel effectively retired compared to his previous career, a sentiment echoed by his former colleagues still in finance.
