in this video i share very realistically what I spend in a week after quitting my job. let's chat about the money mindset the helped me save enough to quit, how I track expenses, what's changed in my spending habits before vs. after quitting my job, and how i make my money last living on savings (while also trying to enjoy life). I also talk about relocating to a different country as a way to cut living expenses, and share my experience relocation from the U.S. to China, where I currently live.
i hope you find this helpful, if you are also thinking about quitting your job, becoming a digital nomad, or are living on your savings:)

As someone who's income is also mostly online and is considering permanently moving back home to China after half of my life spent in the US, the daily expenditure difference has always been the major appeal, but you've also shown how important it really is to be in an environment where it's safe to ride a bike to get groceries, vs buying whatever you feel like because there's room in the car. I've realized that since quitting, there is no real need to rush a permanent day-off, so the simple things like "having to walk/bike" become less about inconvenience and more about fulfillment, and that realization kickstarts a cycle towards an overall healthier active lifestyle of which you wouldn't need to then make time and set aside money for to achieve via the gyms and overpriced pseudo-healthy foods in the US. This really affirms that we're both onto something, thanks for keeping it real and transparent! 😲

@tapiocapress 10 ай бұрын

I was in the US when instacart and amazon fresh first started and I could not understand the appeal of paying for someone to get your groceries, because going to the grocery store was such a joyful thing to me - which is why coming back to China and getting most things online feels like something is missing from life...but, at the same time, cost of living is much much lower here. There's no perfect place in the world, only the places that make you most happy despite their imperfections. All the very very best:)

i understand you're view, perhaps japan is better? provided you can live off of savings or smth free of japan's over work industry the things you said being able to safely ride a bike to get groceries, you can get healthy food for very cheap. and japan doesnt censor or you are not in danger of "disappearing" for thing you have said

I'm 29 and I also quit my last 10-7 office job last month. I came across your videos again and I remembered watching one of them talking about leaving your consultancy career for content creation full-time. This got me intrigued with your story, hence I'm watching you talk about living post employment with our savings while working on building our dreams. Likewise, I am educating myself on the many things a creative professional would do online from YT and IG. It isn't easy for me to acknowledge the fact that I don't have a lot of savings and I am hoping to land a job soon, while learning new marketing, branding, designing skills. God, it is really that stressful. I'm glad you shared your story in such an honest and authentic manner. I don't feel so lonely in this journey. Much love from Malaysia. :)

Thanks for sharing! I follow many creators (kchoi, lilian chiu, julia fei, Taylor Bell etc.) who manage to balance a fulfilling career and content creation - which makes me hopeful that it is possible. Everyone's situation is different, and despite making my "breakup" with corporate public, I do believe working in corporate can be a mutually beneficial relationship. So, if that's what's right for you for the moment, you got this - get that job, earn that money, learn those skills you need, and I'll be rooting for you!

I love your videos. As someone watching while working my corporate 9-5, 我真的很羡慕你呀！💖 As for thoughts on the digital nomad lifestyle, I feel like it has some negative connotations these days. Those are mostly because of people who have higher paying jobs and move to lower cost of living places to specifically take advantage of the resources, while not respecting the local community, culture, or laws. In some more popular destinations, the local communities have complained about rapid gentrification, cost of living going up too quickly, and disparity because of too much people coming into a small area that do not have all the resources to support the population. There has also been a couple of well known incidents that caused controversy online with certain individuals disrespecting local communities. But I feel like there has to be a way to be ethical and respectful and still do it if you have the right mindset.

@tapiocapress 10 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for the insight! I hesitate to describe my lifestyle as truly "digital nomad", because I live China, and am considered a local. My friends in China who are from different parts of the world are very interested in the local culture and respectful of the laws (lovely ppl), however I can totally understand how a huge influx of digital nomads with higher purchasing powers would disrupt small local communities in detrimental ways...I'm an optimist and do agree that there has to be a way to do it ethically and respectfully!

I had previously asked in another one of your videos how you were handling your finances after quitting your job because I wanted to know if you had other sources of income or savings assisting with reoccurring bills and/or debt. Of course I end up finding this video in my feed! Glad you were transparent on this because I kept seeing so many videos of people quitting their corp life to pursue a creative job but they never disclose how they're able to pay for these things when they don't have that constant income flow.

The cost of living is crazy there 😭 In Australia, it costs around 150 AUD (~90USD) for my partner and I for GROCERIES ONLY per week. And that's at the minimum since usually we go over that. We're students so that's on the low end of what people spend here

@tapiocapress 10 ай бұрын

Thats’s crazy!!! When I lived in the US it was almost impossible to walk out of the grocery store without spending 100 USD (and I used to go every week), but now I rarely spend more than 10 USD on a grocery trip…crazy to think about this massive difference!

@user-we8dn5ub9z 10 ай бұрын

@@superthevibe this came across kind of rude. "it's not hard to buy things only when on sale or clearance". Yet we're in a cost of living crisis. Yes, it is hard. We only buy from Aldi or homebrand and always at the lowest unit cost. There's not always food on clearance at our supermarket and if there is, it goes bad quickly. We rarely eat out bcus it's so expensive so we're buying enough food for 7 days of food. We don't have time to go to the supermarket every day to look for clearance. We also have two cats to buy litter and food for (which is part of that cost). It all adds up. Everyone's different. $150 - $170 (what we spend) is not "really high". It's very average for our area. Your spending would be on the low end considering the average household spends $170+ per week. Even at $100-$150, the costs she described in the video are absolutely significantly lower. Spending only a few dollars on eating out and only 10 USD at the grocery store is unheard of here.

Content creation looks so rewarding and love seeing you get creative but the only thing that scares me is the loneliness. I don't like my current 9-5 but I enjoy going in and meeting everyone in the office, that's the only thing that I like and would hate to miss out on. Do you feel loneliness or boredom?

I feel you! It gets tough when you are at home all day every day, just yourself and the computer. I have been trying to get out of the house once a day, and it really helps! In the mean time I'm trying to make more friends in the city...it's so hard trying to not fill every moment with productivity when I feel so much pressure to make my own career work, but it's so important to make time for friendships!

Yes, I want to live like this, but I'm too scared because I have lots of fixed expense even I live in Thailand which is cheaper than China. I'm happy for you that you can live the way you want to

Love the video! Little tip maybe keep the expense tracker on the screen an extra few seconds, I often couldn’t read anything, it disappeared too quickly 😅

just got laid off this May and have not accepted a new job since. currently my day-to-day life, other than applying for a new job, I reconnect to doing things I love. living on my compensation and savings, but it's starting to eat me mentally. tbh, I'm scared, with today's job industry, I can't even get a job at all... even if I have savings, if I don't get a stable income, the savings will not save me anymore :( I'm just turning 25 this month, btw..

there's a carefree, cozy, quirky energy to your videos (this is a compliment!) that i truly enjoy. also, please explain a Lao coffee, it looked so good! :) also also, speaking of money books, you might enjoy I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi

Another great video ❤ I thought it could improve if you made the expenses more visible though! I was watching from my phone but only saw (clearly) the price of one of the veggies and the price recap at the end of the video. 加油🎉
