3 things about "money". #1 There is no money. We are trading debt instruments and that's NOT money, That's all you have to know.

Welcome to my reality

Yes😢😢

Cheers Chris! If it’s striking u like it did me maybe some changes up the road ahead for u! 🤭

@@JeanVoronkova so I thought over everything and have officially quit my job, today was my last day working at the bank. Thank you for reigniting my spirit with the vigor I needed to take a leap of faith and begin working towards life on my terms.

That quote is quite true yet painful because no boss will ever pay you right.

Definitely agree.

Agreed! Thank you so much!

Congratulations you are really doing well at your age im 45 and my finance are in rally in mess right now and great tip will really go along way in shaping my life im open for idea

Sorry for late response I was able to do this because I understand four pricinciples of financial planning success think long term with goals and investing, spend less than you earn maintain liquidity (an emergency savings) minimize the use of debt and with the help of financial advisor Ava Brenda Harry I made over $120k in crypto

Money invested is far better than money saved, when you invest it gives you an opportunity to increase your financial worth

I know this lady just mentioned here . She's really good with and on her job. She's helped a couple of families and individuals' finances

YES!!! That's exactly her name( Ava Brenda Harry) so many people have recommended highly about her I'm huge beneficiary of her platform from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

Awesome

Wonderful! Good to hear that 😊

Freedom, not money!

​@@JeanVoronkovawhat if I told u, u cna have both, and can get unlimited time too (for a cost). Wouod u be interested?

THANK YOU.

For point 1 and 3 you need money... which comes from job. So what is she saying?

Hitesh C don’t waste your money. Save and invest.

Thanks dear

haahhahah

NO. Full of meaning . Passion is not enough.

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money.

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment

@@PhilipDunk Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?

My advisor is “Vivian Carol Gioia” highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..

What specialty ?

Amen. sounds like you found your vocation!

Grats. What matter at the end of the day is your inner self fulfillments and satisfaction.

All lies 😂

What age u started?

At least that job gave you the means to 'retire'. If I had the means I would have done it years ago as well

​​@@radjalomas8854 "very little financial resource"...

Easy when you’ve got several hundred thousand stacked.

It’s not easy. It’s hard giving up all that income. It’s hard giving up material things to live a more minimalist life. To think that if you work 5 more years you’ll have x amount more + more bonuses + more pay and then you just stop? You wouldn’t understand unless you’re in that position.

How many hours a day do you meditate now?

I've purchased numerous stocks in individual firms. Because there are so many stocks that will skyrocket in the long run, it is currently safe to buy in on ETF and ride it out. Due to fud, I sold out early, but then retraced my ways and re-invested $350,000 with a financial advisor who manages my account. I received an 82% return last year and will see where it goes this year.

that's quite impressive, you surely made a good bit of money. I myself invested in warren's BRK-A stock quite pricey but totally worth it.

I just started a few months back, I'm going for long term, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, who’s this advisor you work with ?

'Carol Vivian Constable’is the coach that guides me. She’s a verified coach and she helped me see that returns can be made in both bull and bear markets. She covers things like investing, insurance, making sure retirement is well funded and looking at ways to have a volatility buffer for investment risk, lots of things like that.

'Carol Vivian Constable, a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.

I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.

I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more…

@@face2lune Understanding your financial needs and making effective decisions is very essential. If I could advise you, you should seek the help of a financial advisor. For the record, working with one has been the best for my finances.

@@rougeur I’m Glad i stumbled on this. Please, if its not too much of a hassle for you, can you drop the details of the CFP that assisted you and how to get in touch….

@@face2lune I get guidance from *Susan Tori Davis* Most likely, the internet should have her basic info..

It’s an absolute high at first especially n then usually after a while reality does set in n sometimes things get a lil tough going whilst figuring out your new way but generally (seeing the other comments n my own experience) no one really regrets the quit to freedom! That feeling of independence is really quite incomparable. Congrats.

Thing is to have a vision be that person in the vision build that vision then that vision will come into reality believe you have whatever you want to have be it money be it a amazing experience be it whatever always hold onto that vision be that person that works for them selves whatever they want at any time not being tied down to a certian place or job even do what you absolutly love

@@JeanVoronkovain reality won’t many just go from fire to frying pan.

you'll thank yourself for being brave. Life's too short to spend it grinding away at something you hate just for the money. Money can be made in many other ways without sacrificing happiness and mental health

hi, I am here as well. I quitted my toxic job and trying to figure out what I want to do next. :)

Cheers mate! I quit a toxic job too, driving a truck 75hrs a week with horrible associate's.

Where in this video does she actually talk about the 3 points she learned? Not everyone has the luxury of quitting a six figure job with a cash cushion as back up.

Right there with you ladies. I love the peace and quiet

that's very smart of you. Unfortunately in my experience most young adults in high paying corporate jobs aren't that savvy! i certainly wasnt myself.... - it was only after i quit and went to become a surf instructor that i realized the value of money and importance of saving and financial freedom. But thankfully still managed to retire at 38 in Bali now :) its been 2 years!

that's my aspiration too :) i'm also lucky i work (n start the biz) in an environment where it's not about my outer appearance, so nobody cares if i wear branded stuff or not for work, hence i can use the savings for investing

Invest in what?

Ditto!

@@TrueMonkeyNinjaThis sounds like every “rich” person I’ve ever come across when you they tell you that you “have” to make a million dollars etc. but never tell you exactly how. Face it ALOT more people are just plain lucky at the right place and the right time so in reality they have no idea. It’s more like “beginner’s luck” than anything else. The system is rigged against you, period. The day you accept that, you can find ways to navigate around it and succeed but the truth is it’s different for everyone. At least the minimalists tells you it’s simple but some forget to tell you it’s a marathon and not a sprint. They at least “throw out what is useless” as Bruce Lee said and horde cash. Take your spare cash and convert that into hedges against inflation, gold, silver, crypto, land, etc. However, be prepared for a lonely existence if you are cool with that or get to know a community of others just like you. That’s about it. Just my $.03.

Where is your 32k river front property? Flint Michigan?

Where , share please?

😅

Omg, love that insight… the money you spend is to distract yourself from doing the meaningless job… I can do relate!! It feels so fake, all of it..

I feel the same way working for the city. Make the most money I’ve ever made but am so unfulfilled and have a huge hole in my soul from not leaving cause I’m not sure where to go next

Well-said!! Spending to buy crap is the therapy for the unhappiness!!! Very eye opening! But how do you leave when we need health insurance!

@@claudiacanales2662 I feel our nervous system gets so triggered in these moments.... survival is very real, and our health is ofc a part of that. Find some exercises for your nervous system, and start opening to other options in your mind. Get creative. You dont have to up & leave, and that isn't really what you want, because you want health insurance in place etc.. But one thing to remember is that our salaried jobs are never as safe as we like to think they are.... fidning safety within ourselves is a powrrful journey of empowerment in all aspects of our lives!!

I can relate to that 100%. My life now as animal rescuer is far more fulfilling, deey, in fact. It's very hard work but I cannot ever imagine myself going back to my previous life in a rich country with a well-paying job. It felt so empty. There are many things that I wish are better in my present life but I know that leaving my animals to seek relief or a less gruelling life is never be an option. I keep at my other dreams that I hope I could see through realization as well as accept that this is now my forever life - to be with animals in need.

It doth doesn’t it

Do you ever feel like working in healthcare is somewhat not worth it based on how much it drains you physically and mentally?

So true👍👍👍💝

So can low value jobs

@@brendalg4 True! Might be worse in many cases.

I'd rather have high BP and make 6 figures than low BP and work at a shitty grocery store!

Losing my job and having bills has given me HBP

HR is the reason most hate their job. DEI is poison. I guess that makes a smooth transition to a teacher for those involved.

Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?

Kenna Muriel Hesseling is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

She appears to be very knowledgeable. I found her webpage and read through her resume, educational background, and qualifications, which were all very impressive. I have sent her an email detailing my financial goals.

Yes you fiat currency slave

This system was build for men working for their families not for women or men going solo. Plus you will never find fulfillment or enjoyment in doing hard things that punish your mind and your body. You don't have testosterone that makes all the effort feel good. You are not a man. On the other hand since the idea of building a family is becoming a thing of the past in most of the world even men are quitting for different reasons all together.

Thanks

@@statecraft3603 I don't have a lot of fiat currency. I have lots of assets though...You?

@@PAIP_Studio I'm glad I'm out of the system that is full of testosterone. Now I get to stay warm inside my little castle called home.

thats a beautiful perspective. ill note it down.

Wow, you're a miserable troll.😢 You didn't hear the part where she talked about NOT quitting your job the way the did and instead save for retirement. She shared her mistake and others shouldn't quit without a plan. Starting your own business and/or not quitting a job if they don't want to.

She can quit because she might already have a huge saving from her previous six figure monthly salary, this is definitely not applicable for those that earn a lot less than her.

@@fookkheongchin4302 Did you listen to the vid? She said she'd spent all of it and quit without thinking about her future. She said it was a mistake to quit without savings and a plan. It all depends on how much you save vs how much you make. Making solid six figure incomes over a number of years does make quitting much easier. However, you can't play keeping up with the Joneses prior to or after quitting a high paying job. I say this from my own experience investing and quitting young.

Lets support the starving craftsmen and artists over the big corporates, so we can all work on quitting and finding real happiness.

​@@zeroshepard9513 people will only buy when they see a benefit in buying. Wanting to support craftsmen as a reason won't keep people patronising for a long time. But something they think adds value to their life or makes them feel a way that they want? They are more likely to buy repeatedly, regardless of whether it's from a corporate system or craftsmen.

You're living the dream man. Good on ya

To be honest its common now, yesterday I created something and they found a small bug and they blamed me instead of cheering that atleast we made it, I was so sad then I talked to someone who is a great person and helped me a lot he said, stupid people: we can't create anything perfect so respect it, so just chill it happen..

@Sasha Friedman Honestly, the Philippines is the equivalent of the wild wild wild west. It's blatantly lawless here. It's no exaggeration. I am a risk-taker, street smart. think on my feet type of person and I have persevered here in the Philippines but looking back at all that I've gone through, I have to say, I doubt very much that other westerners would stay here after going through the same. Not to be openly derogatory about the people, I'd use the word sneaky. The fact is, the Philippines is a thrird world country and foreigners are seen as walking bank machines that can be vandalized. Do your research. Be very very very careful how you make your move here. The Philippines can be a true paradise beauty wise and weather wise but a westerner has to know how to navigate here to be able to survive and thrive long term..

Hey Rip Van winkle. Good on you for being brave and good crazy enough to go for your dreams and run such an amazing and honourable business like non profit animal shelter? I’m curious what was your catalyst? Also which part of Phils you moved to. I was born in Philippines Moved to Sydney in 1979 at age 3. I’ve gone back many times but since all my grandparents and some of my fave relatives passed away I travel to other parts of the world and regular place to chill out is Bali. Many Filipinos are really beautiful people but yes the poverty there drives some to be dodgy, ungrateful and manipulative. Even some of my relatives see my travels and think that because I live in Australia that I’m rich and I’ve been happy to help may but some take advantage of me and my husband or worse have lied to me to get me to send money. Also you know how blunt Filipinos are so if you’re going to hit me and hubby up for money then at least have the decency to not gossip about me or insult me and call me fat as the first thing to say when you see me. I’ve sorted this out by not returning for 9 years and also no longer being on Facebook. Hubby and I have talked about retiring in Bali in several years but he’s asked me about Philippines because I would be legally be able to buy property and I am hesitant. At least in Bali with the prevalence of devout Hinduism (their belief in karma) and that I’m not related to anyone there I would live more peacefully. I’m curious though how long you’ve been there and whether you find it peaceful to live there now. Thanks 😊

Citizenship is a must no matter where we live.

@Sasha Friedman Not sure if I should put this out here but if you need a contact in the Phils, message me through my page Forever Summer Animal Rescue. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Hi James, thank you for sharing about your life story - it was really interesting to take a peek at your perspective as someone who basically went all the way in the job but with the happy ending of retirement in Thailand. What were these things u dreamt about that in your 60s no longer were possible, if you don't mind sharing? I was lucky that one of my driving forces was surfing n i knew very clearly that has a clear age bracket within which it cd possibly be what i hope it cd be, so that was another push factor at getting me to quit early.

Anyway, the important thing is always the present and im happy that in your present you are contented and happy every day!

@@JeanVoronkova At 60 I was no longer able to do many physical things like triathlons and team sports except at a much less intense level. The same with my hobby of playing chess. My calculations are surprisingly good but I am slow. Starting a new life in Thailand was emotionally challenging in many ways and being older seemed to allow me to deal with this more easily e.g. I do not expect to "fall in love" but finding a partner was important to me. Basically getting old sucks and those who brightly talk about their golden years are probably on drugs, lol. Physically, mentally, and emotionally I am not as strong as I used to be and that makes pursuing my former dreams difficult to impossible. There is some satisfaction from doing the best I can with what I have remaining but it feels a bit like getting a compliment that I look good for my age. All of this is a result of waiting too long.

All this depend on how we invest the first years in employment because its hard to quit empty handed. The system wants us to work all our lifetime.

Bro I felt that. Thousands upon thousands are in the same boat.

Hi Den, thanks for this sharing! We r trying to do the same thing here in Bali! I hv been going around offering to share my time to practice english w the local kids that we know. I’ve also asked ppl here about the same thing. The thinking is the same - I cd help equip them for better things later in life. Surprisingly however I’ve encountered reluctance or indifference so far. Plus I’ve also been told it’s tricky cos some foreigners get accused to “working illegally” even though it’s volunteerism n get in trouble. Maybe it take times to build trust here in the community. Gardening is a lovely job n I’m glad u r doing something u love!

Congratulations Dennis! You have found the true happiness as mentioned in the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said: ‘There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.’” (Acts 20:35)🤓👍

“Sucked the soul out of me”. That’s the perfect description of what I experienced.

If your mother knew how much it will cost you working as an arcitect, she would change her mind, I can assure you ;) I am an architect have experience working in 4 companies til now and I just have to say it to you.... I thought this is what I want to do... Unfortunatelly the reality seems to be really hard and cruel. I worked sometimes 20h/day (sitting in the front of the screen), a lot of stress, deadlines, no satisfaction. I feel I lost my precious time sitting in the office making rich people richer (developers).... Creating buildings that I even dont like (investors always have last word, because they pay). All my architect-friends are also burned out profesionally (and they are around 30yo). I love yoga, I play piano, I want to move to Norway one day, connect with nature, build a tiny house, own and take care of some animals. I love sheeps and cows so much! Be a musican. I want to feel this good energy around... This is what matters. I didnt have this thoughts when I went to collage... I want to feel alive :) Now I really know what I want and how my life should be look like but it took me 5 years in collage and 6 years in job to realize :) Now I am working in good company, there is no overtime, good salary, but still this is not the way I want to live. So after work I practice piano a lot, making my own music, go to norwegian lessons, go to yoga classes and all of these daily tasks gives me a feeling that every day is one small step closer to make my dreams come true. Be honest with yourself, that's the only way to be happy. This is your life and make your own decisions, good luck :)

Go for it Love.. Pursure your dreams

You are still very very young

@sarcasmaaamm i love your dreams, and i think you're super mature to have such dreams at your age and to understand what you feel about your mom's wants for you.

good for u! i think gramp's generation had a very disciplined survival n work mindset.... my traditional asian family elders are the same so can kinda relate. ah well. Just hope working like that gave him some satisfaction.

Maybe working is what he loves to do... maybe more than family, kids, grand kids. People are different you know. The rule is make sure you know what you want and what you give up for it... that way you will not regret it later. I know people who died soon after they retire. I have friends who got everything, not hung up in materialistic things, but still work his day time job, then go home get on his computers, phones creating new companies. People are different. Just make sure you know what you give up for what you want in life. By quitting your job, what would you give up? I'm still trying to retire. But my kid, well supported, might not feel the need to work as hard as I did to make sure I can well provide for my family, and might end up retire much sooner than I can.

​@@1tuyenpIf you love your job more than other people, maybe you shouldn’t have a family and children and condemn them to unhappiness.

@@esdeath89 If the family and the children were well provided for, is it so much a bad life? A lot of people love their jobs a little more and have contributed greatly to humanity. I think it is Albert Einstein who said “Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work.” Think of all of the people who worked hard to have inventions for humanity. Shouldn't they have a family too? Or do you think the only way to life is to slack off?

@@1tuyenp Spending time with his family is the duty of a husband and father, what is so difficult to understand about this? Since when has providing for a family become a sufficient justification for devoting all your time to work? You shouldn’t be surprised later that your wife is cheating with her lover, and your children don’t love you at all and blame someone other than themselves for this.

I’m 48 and wondering what it will be like if I quit my big fat salaried corporate job and you just gave me the answers, thank you!

@@katien.6356- you're welcome, I think. haha Honestly it's been amazing, as good as I ever expected it to be. No more co-towing to co-workers on a power trip, no more long, boring meetings that could have been easily handled with an email, no more silly hoops to jump through simply to appear to be a "team player" when we're all really playing for our own teams, however we define them, yet always trying to disguise the true nature of that so we can keep playing the game.....none of that. Now it's just waking up at the crack of noon, drinking all the coffee one wants and then trying to figure out what awesome adventure one would like to go on today. My suggestion - create passive income before you quit the cushy corporate job. Me personally, I wish I would have invested more in dividend paying stocks. Those are awesome in quantity. But also having multiple streams of income is also pretty awesome apparently. I would also suggest jumping sooner rather than later. I drifted for years but I'm still young enough to do a LOT with my life and have fully recovered from corporate burnout so now I'm able to choose adventures that are filled with excitement and a strong sense of wonder instead of dreading the next thing simply because "i need the money" or some other lame excuse. Anyways - good luck!

You need to find work where you can be your own boss. If you let money be your guiding force you will never be happy no matter how much you earn. What are you good at? What do you like to fill your day doing? Now turn that passion into an income and you’ll never want for money again.

I'm 52 and I quit my 6-figure salary last week. I don't know what to do next, but at least now I can sleep better, the insomnia I developed from pressures of work and anxiety is almost gone. I'm enjoying life and has more appreciation of people around me, I'm not irritable and difficult to deal with. I just don't want to go back to IT industry anymore, but I'll figure that out within 6 months, in the meantime, I'll enjoy the slow mornings and late night binge-watching of tv shows.

@@higherpurpose1212- I worked in IT also and know the struggle well. Congrats on walking away. It can be a difficult thing to do but it's so liberating. Life becomes fun again but at times, I can't help but worry a little. haha I'm now branching out into motorcycle and automotive repair. I've never been much of a mechanic but always wanted to know how to do it well. So now that I have the time, I've been investing money in tools and learning TONS!!! and it's so fun. Haven't got my bike working again yet but it's only a matter of time. I've got the parts in now and a plan for the projects so it's almost time to start working. I absolutely know it's going to be hot, sweaty work as opposed to an air conditioned office but damn, I'm loving it so far. Been focusing on garage organization while learning, waiting on parts and acquiring tools. I also have no idea if I'll do this long term, only for my bike and then quit or what. I've even been seriously considering looking for an apprentice mechanic position at an automotive or motorcycle shop. haha I honestly never considered that before and at 56, almost 57, it's wild to think about. Good luck on your journey. I hope you find enjoyment in whatever you choose to focus on. Cheers

If you are unhappy then DO SOMETHING to change and become happy. Do not blame others...blame things...blame at all. Just do what makes you happy...its simple really.

@@speedomars3869 it's never that simple. Not everyone can afford to just up and leave their toxic workplace immediately

@@Astro2024 sure it is....especially in this job market.

@Adriana Joseph I know what u mean about the toxic cycle. If the job is so all consuming u need to quit it before u can clear ur brain n think about other ways to make a livelihood. But it’s not for the faint hearted!

What do you do now? If you dont mind me asking

I wonder the same thing, what do you do now to be able to buy food and housing?

That was brave, but the journey just started..you will need all the courage (many times it will seem like the "worst decision ever!!")

im 3 years in myself i trade now

thanks Ronald for your time :) enjoy the weekend!

it's never too late! all the best

Thanks Chantal, we all only live once.... lets give it a good go!

Most profit comes from capital gains from owning a business. It's good to have a multiple streams of income (investments) What really guarantees financial security is having multiple streams of making passive income

My wife and I are retiring this year with over $6,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year. Just kept buying at low prices.

My strategies for an Early Retirement 1. Replace active income with passive income sources (stocks/crypto) (Real Estate Rentals For Cash Flow) 2. Reduce personal operating cost (Housing costs are typically the largest) 3. Automate income streams (Property management, online businesses) 4. Leave the 9 to 5 =) (Success)

Forex/stock is the best investment anyone could get into. As it could make you rich in a blink of an eye.

Really I've always wanted to invest in stocks but was always discouraged. I wanna start now

i'm sure plenty out there feel the same - hence the number of views on this video. It's just not something we go around publicly declaring much I guess 🌻

'Social credit'?? Sounds like Communist China.
