I regret quitting my six figure corporate job. Unless you have a solid back up plan, I don't recommend anyone quit their job unless there is no other choice.

Ok, I'm 53 and I play an instrument for a living. It was all I wanted to do since I was a kid and I was REALLY good at it. I was poor as hell through my 20's, but, long story short, now I'm getting old, I don't regret anything. I never hurt anyone, I've done precisely what I love and have a very comfortable life. I don't have a huge amount of money, but, I have more than enough to be happy. Now I teach young people which feels right, and I love that too. Take a chance, and be yourself, whatever that is, and you'll be happier.

Don't get super excited or inspired and throw away job. Assess your circumstances and sort your finances rock solid. Remember No one is sitting out there to offer single penny just like that.

Hi, I am now 71, and retired. I am so glad you are speaking out at a young age to other people your age about doing what you love. I went into banking because my mother was in banking. She instilled in me that you have to have a job, any job. This is depression era thinking. I was unhappy most of my working life, but I supported myself.. I am a creative person, and what I love is cooking, baking, flower arranging, gardening. I did have an antique business the last 15 years until I retired, and that was so fun and creative. We had a great shop! I also sold flowers at a large growing farm in norcal the last twelve years until I retired, and that was a lot closer to who I was.. I tell all the young people I know to follow their passion!

You are such a Sweetheart to interview the elderly people. Seems like young people forget about us but we are real people. Thankyou for what you do. You are aswome

Roughly speaking, we are all afraid of losing something good in return for the unknown, but on the other hand, if we take a chance, the gain may be greater than our previous successes🌟

Financial planning is like navigation. If you know where you are and where you want to go, navigation isn't such a great problem. It's when you don't know the two points that it's difficult

$150k right out of uni in Canada seems unbelievable. Imagine if it was a $50k job the decision would have been a lot easier.

I'm 38, have worked jobs in every sector, each type of area and I'm still trying to figure out who I am 😜

Even though I've enjoyed my work for close to 50 years,..... now I'm 67 and I don't feel satisfied with myself. Great video I understand 100% what he's saying. Follow your dreams they are never mistakes. Love your content!!

I would take the 150k job for 2 years pay off student loans while living as cheap as possible and save enough to live on and then follow my dreams tho ha.

Thank you. Facing this decision with the last third of my 90,000 hours and this type of thought-provoking content just keeps finding me.

Having parents and/or mentors to lean on at a young age is HUGE…. Listen to those who are more experienced/wise

YOU absolutely made the right choice. Your channel is fantastic and helpful. Kudos to your courageous decision. 💯

Great channel, will. Your videos offer viewers a chance to take a look at their lives introspectively and provide encouragement that it's ok to follow the path they desire. keep it up!

Sprouht man I love you. Keep it up! I really needed this.

Great content buddy ! True inspiration for alot of men like us in the same age. Keep up the great spirit 💪🏼

Choose yourself 24/7, you will never lose. Love yourself, forgive yourself things will work out...✨️

I loved the video , your creativity is amazing

While watching the video, I was engrossed until you mentioned the Algerian Guy. I am Algerian too, and I find myself in a similar situation to the person you spoke with. At one moment, I even thought you were referring to me. Yes, I am currently searching for a job to provide my family with a better life, aiming to compensate for the losses we've endured over the past 20 years since my dad passed away. Your mention stirred a poignant memory, reflecting on life's challenges and aspirations. Thank you brother.

Great video! Thanks a lot for sharing. You’re an old soul

Thanks for all of your inspiration! ❤

For me it's not about not having a job, but having a job you like. I work in software and love it. In the past I had a couple of jobs that I didn't like and I was always demotivated, it was killing my soul, but now I enjoy what I do.

I started following you very early on , on your journey. Really happy to see you followed your path. During COVID , I got a job offer at one of the big 4 . My brain said do it , it’s the right thing to do . My heart fought me on it. I have been at this job for a year and a half and I have never been more miserable. I’m handing in my notice this week 😊

Nice message brother. It's inspiring to see you do so well for yourself. All the best to you.

Amazing video, thank you! 💖

I hate my corporate job. I am actively working on getting out. It feels like I am waiting in the fire till I can escape.

This is best piece of information l heard today for l quit last year and it's been best experience for me l am learning who l am and what l want as l plan on my goal setting

Good lesson.Thank you

This is really cool you are good person,gi ahead you can go to the million

Great 3 lesson I LEARNED ====Thanks man !

Hi bro how have you been? Good luck bro I'm from Uzbekistan 👋👍👍

Bravo my Friend

Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good * l was owing a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (Oscar), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of $270,500 every months.God bless Andrea Sheryl Fox.

Love how u shoot yur b-roll

Some people are not comfortable working at a corporate environment jobs. Those people believe freedom is more important than money, and they pursue body, mental, and spiritual health, not the money.

Thanks for this idee to share this to the world..... we need more this honesty sharing about live--- make a job just because of money= it will kill you inside - money dont make you happy

To do well is the best revenge…

You have more respect and admiration than you can imagine through this channel. God clearly put you where you are _supposed_ to be. Everyone has dreams. Don’t ignore your dreams. Use them as your big goals. Then come up with small goals as stepping stones to reach your big goals. Thanks, will!

I just like your voice! It's soothing 😌

Great Video. 70% rule....to share here, to add a thought, respectively, .... 70% of any job / career , etc...ok, manageable, it's work ???....30% you'll have to suck it up. Care for self, family, and in faith, others as you see. At 90 yrs old, I myself, hope to see my, 70% as my achievement, and find Peace, accepting that 30% will always be in some chaos. Chaos of somethingcalled "Life" Peace

Very important ❤

After 13 years i quit my lawyer job, because i want to be a taxi driver) that 13 years were madness

Great advice!!

Some careers require too much sacrifice. At the end everything gets left behind. To be it comes down to family and purpose.

Needed this!

You couldnt have broken down this idea any better and I ended up saving this video.

So good

DON'T quit your job if you're feeling unhappy with it, lol use the time that you got to apply for something even better. That being said, work on creating that fulfilling dream life at the same time. I think for me, the point of this video is to realize what your dream life could be. Mine would be this: working a part-time remote job, doing the Embassy Life in DC project here in DC, and building up my KZfaq channel. If I could some money off the last two but have the remote job as a safety net, I would be taking the right steps forward for a fulfilling life.

Deep shit. I made a change. I have a plan. I have a goal. Great video. It’s possible.

Your insight for someone so young is quite astonishing. Just don't become too idealistic.

Amazing video, thanks for keeping us financially updated, I hit another $32k today day trading all thanks to my Guru

This is the reason i started following my passion from 20. Because i don't want to regret at my dead bed

Quit your job. Take risks, life is all about taking risks. At least you won't regret it later that you didn't try.

dude i only have 40k a year as an engineer (no medical cost though)

How do you get rid of this money scarcity mentality? Being afraid that you won’t be able to make it bc prices of everything is so high and everyone is just so anxious to be able to get by… I mean I kind of hacked it when I left Toronto (super expensive, everyone has to grind to survive) and went to low cost places like Thailand where I have money saved that can last me a couple of years but I am still scared… bc I grew up having this scarcity mentality and grinding so much in Toronto where people live pay check to paycheck…

well yes, all of this is true ... try to do what you want or dream to do with your life, 100% in agreement, you can also decide not to work all your life and make sure that plan will work, that's what I did, I always loved my job but stopped working at 50 y/o, since then I only enjoy life and I am not rich, I have worked and made enough money as to not be working for the rest of my life, and not more, just what's needed. You won't always be young and in god health condition, at 50 (or even before if you can) you still are. But there is also another thing that you should not miss ... if you have a family and kids ... DON'T miss their youngest age, DON'T put work and job first even though you need to feed your family, there always will be a solution for that, but DO NOT miss the family life you also will only have once in your entire life ... after the age of 50, you will only have left, 10% of the whole time you will have spent with your kids in your entire life ... 10% ! Think about that, don't miss the 90% it will never come back ...

what if you are so lost you dont even know what your dream life looks like, or what you even want?

@ i try step by step to quit my jobs ...i wann freedom and have time for family

Quitting your job without a plan depends on one’s ability to handle the situation and age. I quit my job last year so I could travel freely. I am returning to the workforce with lots of resistance. The job market doesn’t like workers in their 50s. So be it!

Great vid and story. I've had the completely opposite experience to you. I found my dream job while I was still at university and was good at it, but got forced out by an overstepping employer who decided I needed to try something else (in a more corporate position)for her entertainment and self-aggrandizement. Bear in mind she's the same divorcee who insisted subordinates should also get divorced after 10 years, so more cultish control freak than credible source really... 😂 but I digress. It was a great job, scriptwriting for TV where every script is different, characters evolve, come and go, so you're always writing new stories, conversations, perspectives, personalities and social issues, which kept things fresh... for me anyway. This is my 3rd year of unemployment (a riveting contrast, right?) and I'm still waiting to go back to doing exactly what I was doing, as is my right. I guess the moral of the story is you can't force people into a financial crisis (or a manufactured moral one) hoping it'll make them head in a new direction when all they were ever unhappy with at their previous job was the fundamentally flawed boss. You'd think a storyteller would get that, but no... not if the controlling boss is fresh out of Brakpan, circa 1992. Apologies, I'm sure half this rant won't make sense to you, but hold thumbs for me all the same, thanks for inspiring it and best of luck on your fabulous journey! 😁✌️ #2341 #RightJobWrongBoss

I enjoy my job - can't stand the coworkers

If you are from Canada, it doesn’t pay to earn a lot of money. We have a government that is out of touch. Overspending and high taxation. Not worth it. Follow your heart, do what you love. Just make sure you can support yourself or have a support system.

Parlez-vous français?

if you earn more than $150k why would you try to sell me a book ? Go and live your life. Who cares if I need to listen to your advertisement of a "one size fits all" book ?

150k for an entry level?

I got laid off from my corporate job and it was the best that happened to me. Now, I doubled my income and I have more time for myself and my family since Im taking a bit more risk in life. No risk, no glory. With a 9-to-5-job, there are no risks...there is only your 1 income stream every 30 days. And you only get a 4 hour break (per 24 hours) since you need 8 hours of sleep and the 12 hours are reserved for your job (commuting + 'working 8 hours' = 12 hours). So corporate life = PRISON LIFE.

❤Очень круто

“When you don’t know who you are you are easily influenced by others” is an amazing quote and something I think most insecure guys have had to go through at some point; whether it was your situation or like making friends and trying to get peoples attention. If you know who you are you will stop listening to what others want for you and listen to yourself, so by starting to figure out who you really are, you will start to figure out what you really want. Considering all of this, the quote should be changed to: “when you don’t know who you are, people try to make you someone else. and that’s when you will never really figure out your purpose. Instead of seeking advice in others, seek for advice in yourself. You will figure it out and once you do you will figure who you are”. We all need this kind of philosophy in life, cheers

With a vision, anything is possible.

Great message but I don't understand the need for English subtitles when you are already speaking English in the video? 😂 If it was a foreign language, then it would make sense.

God, you're handsome...

❤

I wonder if he got his finance job thanks to daddy-o 😶

Of course corporate jobs suck. But society would fall apart would nobody be ready to do them. Corporate culture needs a complete reform, these jobs have to become more humane and employee-friendly. I do hate my corporate job too, I'm a scientist at a big pharma company. Of course I'm a hamster in a wheel, all my colleagues are and we know it, but we are hamsters that produce medications for deadly sick people, thus extending their lifespan by many years. This purpose is not nothing and it is what keeps me going through this hardship. At the end, the ultimate question is: How can I serve society? I always asked myself: In case I get a terrible disease one day, cancer or whatever, would I be grateful that there were doctors and scientists who went to the corporate threadmill every single day in an effort to invent new treatments? Yes I would. I hate the hardship of my job, the overtime, the pressure, etc. - but do I believe in its purpose? Yes. But do I want to retire early? Yes, because my health is already impaired. Do I regret not having followed my dreams? Yes, I wanted to become an olympic swimmer in my youth and then a writer. This topic is so complex. If we all followed our dreams and nobody be ready to do "the grind" - we'd be lost as a society.

Pure marketing

If you don’t like your job.. then seek god and he will be your rearward! Meaning he will cover your back end ❤

I managed to save a quarter million. Still scared to quit my stressful job. Is that enough money to quit my job? I really wanna move back to Africa to work on my mental health

😶

No, you do not quit...you never gave it a shot

I’m first

I’m second

You copied Nischa

150 isnt a lot anyway

that old wannabe actor....how ignorat is he? Dude you can pay for your rent and buy groceries and you have the audacity to say what's the point of all this? Ask a homeless drug addict man who tried acting and ended up failing

Are you joking? A slight discontent and you bounce? You're one weird dude.

I'm so grateful you quit that job and started this youtube channel 🥹 i love hearing other people's experiences and perspectives in life ✨

Lame.

9:54 I'm confused. How DO you make your money then?
