A salary is the drug that you are given to forget your dreams - Kevin O' Leary

Desperate to get out of my 110k job that consumes 60 hours of my life per week. The last decade I'm making 0.1% from my savings account. This past year I started investing in the market and doubled my savings with Tesla

As a doctor I can tell you you hit the doctor part of your video right on. What u say is exactly why I started a KZfaq channel and have continued it despite how time consuming it is and I don’t make a dime off of it. The amount of people I can reach has been humbling. Your insight in to matters is spot on my friend.

I'm doing also ecommerce for this exact reason ! It's not about money, it's about financial and time freedom !

Why doesn't this channel have 10x as many subs? He is so genuine and legitimately smart. I always trust his advice at this point. Solid principles and actual morals. Thank you for all of your hard work and honesty! You are truly improving people's lives man!

I concur. I retired at 50 years old. The smartest move I ever made. Living the dream. 🦋

I have been feeling this way for a while. Tired of trading time for money at a job.

Hi Ken, I just want to thank you for all the good advice you give to people on KZfaq. I am infinitely grateful and thankful for your dedication and honesty in helping others. the impact you create in people's lives is enormous and you may not know it but its true. I watch your videos all the time and you inspire me immensely. Thank you again for all that you do.

Had to watch this video twice.... so many gems in this one Kenyuan. Thank you! The work you are doing is awesome. Please keep it up!

To some, these years will be remembered as the time they lost their job, for others, it will be remembered as the time they reached new levels of wealth. We should always be looking for opportunity.

I’m 45 and finally realized that taking some time to research and invest in a good company is the easiest and best efficiency. I wish I knew this 10-15 years ago. But at least I found out. Better late than never. I was able to transfer all my savings I had that were is boring mutual funds that averaged 7% return these last 15 years into Tesla a hyper growth company. My family is FIRE now and time is on my side. Thank you! Don’t be a donkey make money to invest money to give you freedom. Time is priceless.

A sincere "thank you" for your videos CG. Yours is the only one I have activated for notifications. They are that much appreciated.

Love this message man. Been watching you for awhile and it’s so easy to see how your passion bleeds through the screen. Your honesty is very much appreciated

Ken, you are a good man re: the Subway incident. Some folks treat others like dirt. There's no need to do so. And you're right that Time Is Priceless and we should make the most / maximize it

This video changed my life. I was considering changing careers to increase salary, but at the cost of LOTS of time, doing things I might not even enjoy that much! Thank you so much.

Another Gem! ...TY C.G.S!! Wifey and I have spent the last 6 months watching your vids and implementing your advice. Essentially re-structuring everything from the way we file our taxes to the way we invest, how we earn $ and spend our time.. our ROI in in every area including time freedom and quality of life is now sooooo much better.. BIG THANKS to YOU Brotha!! No words for how much Cynthia and I appreciate you.

Thank you! The timing of this message was perfect

"The internet doesn't sleep." - Chicken Genius

I just took about 50% pay cut just to have more time with loved ones.

Thank you CG for making us all a part of fulfilling your purpose on earth: making people happy through reconsidering their view on money!!! I see you know how the universe works and i wish everyone following you and riding your CG wave to be successful and spread your message! Very grateful Anf happy to see you living in alignment with your purpose!

I’ve been thinking this exact things you had just shared for months ! I know what to do now. Thanks for sharing and motivation !

I like to thank you for sharing such a valuable video. I’m 23 and I’m starting to realize do I really want to have like a desk job for IT and do it for the rest of my life? Or do I want to give value or make some type of impact on the world since the internet makes it possible and especially with social media platform. I see my family members or friend working jobs they either don’t like or just working their ass off for money. But they never have time to enjoy life and what’s the value of money when you can never enjoy it while having a limited amount of time on this world. I’m thankful I’m starting to think this. If anyone is reading this. Be thankful for what you have. Never know when you time will come. Enjoy the moments. Love yourself always. Thank you for reading 😊

This is probably the best advice you've given your subscribers. Time freedom is aspirational. What you do with your time should be inspirational to yourself and others. It took me a long time to figure that out. It boils down to happiness, which is your ultimate choice in life. LIVE FOR HAPPINESS.

Thank you Ken for all you've done. You will leave a place in my heart❤️

Man, this video actually gave me goosebumps! You’re content is fantastic. Your advice even better. I have been thinking about this exact thing lately. I haven’t put my finger on what I should be doing with my time yet, but it will come. Thank you!!

A mid week video?! What a pleasant surprise!

“Your real value is directly proportional to the impact you have on others.” Genius This is amazing stuff for positive change in the world. You are worth your weight in gold, or TSLA, SQ.... Thank you! 😉

Bro, I appreciate how your videos come off as genuine and concerned about our wellbeing and progress. Thanks!

this is channel is what I call my financial Yoga. Two classes this week awesome. Thank You

Love this! Thank you for inspiring us. I quit my corporate job in 2018. Once in a while I go on LinkedIn and feel a little guilty like I'm falling behind... But your videos remind me that the time space I have to think are priceless. My energy can go into learning investing and focusing on improving myself vs making someone else money

“Nothing is instant” I heard that as I was stirring my instant coffee ☕️

Awesome video Ken ... I’ve been asking this question for the last 10 years and a lot more frequently this year .. Thank you ..

you're truly kind brother, many kind result is/will be around you. I'm truly grateful

Not everyone is confident enough to be in front of the camera. In fact for an introvert like me who runs even from a picture, just imagining making videos is stressful.

'A man of action is favored by the goddess of good luck' - One big thing that has changed for me is to just DO things. I'm not where I want to be yet but I will be! Keep spreading the good knowledge and good vibes Chicken Genius :D

Love your advice and videos Ken, im 37 single dad ft 7yo boy severe autism; kept me at home feels empty my life many times. Is a challenge more to me a man with Asperger's syndrome, your guidance for free is making huge difference just by listening. And In 7 years time I want to thank you again even if I'm poor like now; your an inspiration for me right now and appreciate you sharing 👍👍

Excellent advice as always! You have a gift for communicating a complex idea in an entertaining, simple and direct manner.

Yes, this is so true, i went from a job of $2,800 a month and started building an online biz in free time. hard at first. as income grew online. started working my J.O.B.(just over broke) 4 days a week then 3 days a week! after one year no more JOB! fast-forward 5 years now earn 6 figures on 1 hour a day. have 3 homes one on a tropical beach. 6 figure investment account. Thank you Genius from Singapore!!! time for health, family, friends and World Travel. Simple follow Genius advice, he is right on!!!

Thank You @ChickenGeniusSingapore for sharing this!! It really motivates me to keep on going. The hardest thing to always do is to actually make changes. Finally started a dance channel on youtube after a decade of teaching !! After watching your vid, I'm going to churn videos out non stop until I make it one day. Thank you once again !! :D

Man, the exact video I needed today. Thanks again all your great work. You’re a legend!! 👍🏼

Mr. Chicken, you are dope! Your intentions are pure and its refreshing. Thank you for your continued efforts to positively change the lives of people you dont even know. As always, all the best to you and yours. 👊

As someone who just had his heart broken by a girlfriend this video is simple and solid. I have stopped my procrastination and have found that I have far more time than I ever did. Got to put it to use finally

Mr Chicken Genius, Thank you so much. I can't even begin to explain how much your videos have helped me just in the past few months alone. Besides for making more money on my investments and learning to DO NOTHING and let my money grow, i've been applying your psychology to my business and trying new things. This week alone I have doubled my average sales by trying something new and free'd up more time AND i'm actually working less. This video has continued to inspire me and focus on innovation and new ideas and I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU. I hope you have a great day my friend!

Love your passion to help others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Makes a ton of sense to me and I will definitely give it some careful thought.

Came across your channel only this year and at 21, I'm just so glad I have so much more time to do what I passionate about before I finish university. I hope to be able to retire by 35 and want to help my friends and family along this journey. I'll definitely share your content with my friends and educate them if they have an open mind. Really wished I had someone tell me what you said at 12 and I would have SO MUCH time doing things I'm passionate about or trying new things without having to worry about money because I have my parents support me. Edit: Finishing my NS in 18 days and starting university in 9 months time!!!!!!!

Thanks for another awesome video Ken! Fellow Singaporean here. This one really reasonates with me as am a white collar executive, knowing how many hours we put in our daily ‘Full time’ jobs especially in Singapore where OT is so common. Maybe I can start a side hustle doing videos in future etc. Just want to shout out and say thank you for giving us hope to get out of the Rat Race especially in Investing in Tesla and the constant reminders to hold in spite of volatility which can difficult at times. And also for raising awareness for Tesla in SG, where many Singaporeans are still skeptical/ not aware about the company Cheers that we can ‘Huat’ together and looking forward to holding Tesla till retirement even before CPF payout at 55! Lol 👊🏻 If there is chance, would like to treat you to a drink sometime 👍🏻

2 years ago when I ORDed, I was contemplating taking over my family's hawker business or working in the corporate sector.. After working for 2 years, I have decided to make the most out of my time and take over the business!! Your video came at the right time! btw maybe I can do youtube videos about hawker life too 😄 As always, thanks for sharing!

Your value proportional to impact on others.... great statement CGS, you are genius. Thank you!

You are so real! So spot-on. Thanks for the pep-talk. Much Prosperity & Happy Blessings!🦋🙏🦋 You are changing lives like mine with your Genius Chicken Chats! 👂👂I’m all ears!👂👂

"Nothing in this world is instant. Including instant noodles"

Today is somewhat different and not in stocks. Wisdom of life you shared kudos. Thats why we need our money work harder in the market to earn us the time to use it more effectively and impact more lives positively and our family. Trust you're spending your precious time growing this channel and share good vibes to help the needy across the borders around the globe..

Great lesson CG! We always get value from your vids.. it’s up to us to take action😉

Appreciate the thought provoking video. You definitely have me thinking about work, retirement and the amount of time wasted that is not purposeful. Starting to brainstorm on ideas to help others and thanks for sharing your teachings. You are an amazing Aplus young man and servant leader who found your life purpose to help others. I look forward to your videos and share regularly w/family. Stay safe.😇😷💕🙏

My passion is flowing all my money into Tesla stock.

Ken watching this video felt like a personal friend telling me to take the plunge! At the tipping point of making youtube videos and boom this video turns up.. believe either 'seek and the universe shall give' or youtube algorithms 😂

Great advice! When you finally understood this, your life will change

Thanks so much for this - a lot to think about and I really appreciate it! (I'm watching this with one monitor while I'm doing my hourly administrative job on the other - stretching my time to learn new things!)

Target is make enough money to stop working, no one became rich with their "salary"

Bought more Tesla shares today. Sold sucky shares to buy it. It was Coke, sucky stock. :D

Thank you for your message, I like the idea of following our passions whilst helping others!! God bless you boy 🙏🙌🙏

all love for u and your awesome channel!! thanks for the incredible value brotha!!

How we all crave to do the same! 🙏

Man there are so many useless youtubers out there and very few who make high quality content like you. Keep up the great work.

Staying in Singapore for more than a decade and got your channel recommended just few months back...Anyway better late than never. Thanks for all the help!!

Sage advice as always, damn, I really love the insight and wisdom you share to all us viewers. Incredible info as always CGS :)

Plot twist: Ken throwing the 50 SGD at customer had message on it: "Buy Tesla"

this is exactly what i need, this rat race is toxic. Thanks sir

You're awesome! Great mindset. I would add that no matter where you are in life, you can change to a better plan. Don't berate yourself for things done or gone, but simply pick up and start in a new way.

I lost my corporate job recently. Loved your vid on sometimes putting your bag down, I have my cash in Tesla and have just registered for my first business. Thanks for the solid advice, I have 100% time to focus on my business and a float to keep me satisfied.

I LITERALLY LOVE YOU, GIVE ME YOUR LOVE OK.

Working twice as hard means you have no time to think about how to invest what you're earning. That's a bad deal all around!

Genius you are on target 🎯! Thanks 🙏. You’re making a wonderful difference impacting my life and others positively.

Nothing in your contents goes to waste. You helped me this much and know I will try one at a time. Increasing shares of Tesla is priority and next is freedom! Thanks cg

I watched and recommended enough ChickenGenius to my family and friends that when my brother overheard this video, he ask "Is that ChickenGenius?" I went 😏😏

I just hope to retire in Australia and spend my remaining days there

I have been thinking of Utubing my experiences but I was indecisive. You have given me that extra push now, thanks. I don't want any regrets.

Thanks for your positivity, totally agree with your arguments !

Or, do work twice as hard for one year. Don't forget about overtime pay (working twice as much would more than double your income). Invest the extra into Tesla, 5 years ago. See, it works. On a more serious note. This is a valid strategy. I have a friend who started flipping houses with this method. He did not have to finance his first purchase. He's now moved on to building new houses.

Analyst 1: Tesla is worth $500+/share, nothing happens Analyst 2: Nio is worth $40/share, everyone wants to buy, stock 20%+. Reason: speculators love cheap stocks and only see the short term

Excellent job. This is a huge subject, so please keep adding more content on this one

Thank you for sharing your personal values through your videos, loving your content so much!

It took me 20 years of investing, but I finally managed to free myself from the "rat race". I made less than $40,000/yr and there were 6 years of the 20 in which I was not able to invest. Anyone can attain financial freedom. You have to get money to work for you.

I quit my professional engineering job after about 15 years (in Canada). It just didn't feel like it was worth it. The corporate grind, endless unproductive meetings, politics, people dragging tasks out etc. Ew. I ended up getting into real estate with my wife. Couldn't be happier. Your observation that you'd rather work half for half the money is bang-on. We almost make as much as we did in the space industry, but work half the hours. And we get to do a lot of the work in our pyjamas! You're awesome, keep it up and pass on the truths, brother. Everything they told us we should be doing is wrong.

It's very important people hear these thoughts about money. No one is getting this from our educational systems. Keep teaching master Chicken!

Thanks genius, you truly practice what you preach. I enjoy seeing you live by your values, and I can truly say that this video impacted me. Thanks for all the insights, hope to cross your path some day :)

Money printing has been the most devastating effect for all humans that ever placed foot on earth.

First

Thanks for the great talk, really appreciate you spending time to share your perspective 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ken I hope you are taking care of yourself. I pray for you. Your content is solid GOLD.

I like sharing/recommending your channel as often as I can. I've sent a number of your videos to a friend that I think has a lot of potential, this one being the latest. I wanted to share my friend's response to this video is: you're smart!

I subscribed today! Glad to be part of ur YT family. Tesla rocks!!

One of the best videos I’ve seen 👏 such a clear point, very inspiring

Thank you for taking the time make videos like this. You're a good person kind sir and personally I always enjoy your messaging. See you on the next one

I wasn't expecting a video today lol thank you :)

What you said about doctors is so true. I started a YT channel while furloughed and was thinking I’d stop when I went back to work. The responses I’ve gotten from people and the amount of people I’m able to reach is on a level I cannot achieve in clinical medicine for the time worked. So I’m all in and continuing my channel now! It’s fun but soooooo much work. Worth it! What the world needs now more than ever is for everyone to think about how they can help their fellow human. If Elon Musk can help our entire species then surely each of us can start by helping just one other person. Thanks as always for the life advice! Awesome stuff as always.

Hi Ken!! I cannot thank you enough for all your advice and knowledge you choose to share with us. You are truly one of a kind. Thanks to you I feel like I know a bit more how the world works, and never felt more inspired to start my own business. In the future my plan is to have various sources of income specially through real estate and investing. I hope you continue making videos and wish you the best in this new coming year! Cheers!

This advice changed my life, thanks Chicken genius.
