I’m a total introvert.. I’m happy never leaving my apartment or never seeing a human being! Humans are draining and the worse

❤

Beautiful place. ✌️

Difficult people for me is mean and rude attitude people. It's always good and relax to work with nice and patient people.

It's very relaxing to listen to your story Andrew, life is too short, the job is just a part of that, it's not everything in this life.

How did they even hire you when they saw in your resume you only stay for few months each time in your old jobs?

Cool! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

good job. i feel the same too, i quit tech job. good thing i do have other source of income and thing i like to do-trading. I did find a job as mainteance and trade on the side, it has been best decision for my life. to this point, money isnt matter, physyical and mental health is the most important.

Hi Andrew, congrats on making another great video!! Just a small piece of advice from my own perspective, I think if you can keep still a bit more, you will deliver a better presence. You can get the idea if you try to play your video at a 1.5x speed (I am not sure how many people consume videos in this way like me). Anyway, you are doing a great job! Absolutely love it 💗

thanks for that video man. I think I'm at the point, where I hit all of the burn out points, especially the don't care state of mind... Saved some money, had some good investments, leaving the corporate world, it's not worth it anymore:(

So glad you broke away! I have had bosses that literally made me cry! I was ON THEIR TEAM! Working as hard as I could and they would SCREAM at me!!! Narcissism is rampant in the higher echelons!

me, super introvert, programmer, so resonate with this video

13:18 "I was reminded that the problems that I had back home were rather insignificant"

Why is your partner in the Netherlands?

U jumping job too often and often take shortcut. Skill is gain by hard work. The problem is u think u are skilful, but actually not really. I keep telling people build hello world application, is different with real world application. U must understand this.

The 1 dollar = 4 cents annually thing is a nice mind hack motivational thing, thanks bro

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO

Hello! I'm on a fellow gaysian in my 30s who has reached FI and adding some extra dollars to go from lean FI to regular FI.

great video! curious what mindset you're approaching work and purpose with now assuming you're already reached FI now that you don't have to work for money?

how are you thinking about purpose and what to do with your life now that you don't need to work for money?

If you are alleging a work related mental health issue, you should be on worker’s compensation and getting paid by their insurance company, not just quite.. zzzz

I assume having a girl friend or wife is not feasible if you live frugally off your savings in North America. Is it hard to find sex then ?

I've went through the same thing as well (minus the "not giving notice"). I listened to my body and had to leave. My mental health thanked me. I'm also happy I was not the only one that left a job because of stress. In my 20s/30s I would usually have something lined up as well but as stress grew, my body can't take it anymore.

I’m not in the Tech industry but I can relate to you

Hello fellow gay 🌈 hope your partner is treating you well

Why are you called Xu?

Just wanted to say that there's no problem filling out gaps in your resume if you were taking a break. I've done that with no issues :)

I saw like 10 videos of these on my KZfaq feed today, what’s happening to this world and people living here, this is a real downfall of the humanity, I have 0 hopes about my own life and the humanity right now everything is a tragedy and so SCARY

So, what are you planning to do next? Are you going to come back to tech jobs at some point you think?

I come back to this video every few days. It's good to hear someone who can relate, and you articulated it perfectly.

great video man

You’re handsome ❤

Hello sir do you looking for Video Editor? I Can help you to save your Crucial time throughout my editing skills

I love you - It is obvious you are genuine and grateful. Don’t apologize for living your best life and helping those who are willing to listen. You are SIGNIFICANT. I already predicted you are going to make it big, and are bringing us along which I very much appreciate, and yes life is an experiment. You are rich in integrity, wisdom, courage, self-awareness, creativity, and humility. The financial freedom you HAVE achieved through simple living. Keep dong what you are doing. You’ve got this! I’m so grateful to have crossed paths with you when your channel is in it’s infancy, because I am a witness to the exponential growth you are at the cusp of achieving. The best things in life can not be purchased but give us the power to choose what we do with your limited time on this earth. One can be simultaneously a good person, and rich in every way- emotionally, physically, spiritually, intellectually, AND financially. WE are that community, as long as we have the courage to do the things that scare us and stop seeking everyone else’s approval. We all know what is right. DO that, and BE that. If we fall off the proverbial bicycle of life, we simply get up, dust ourselves off, and hop back on. Great job, Andrew! BRAVO! I may just be one of your biggest fans. Simple Living movement -Here we come! 👏

Andreeeew! Saw your video randomly popped up in my feed 😱 Glad to see you. Cheers!

The pandemic was an excellent time to travel. Offroading and camping in a four wheel drive is as social distancing as you can get. Moab, Utah was unforgettable. One way to slow down your life away from tech is move to a small town. That's what I did.

Hello! New sub'er, enjoying your channel. Share on simple living and financial planning as well as the country you're currently living. I've never been and enjoy seeing videos on the Netherlands. 😊

thank you for sharing!!! keep going :)

I love that we're getting more of these candid discussions about life and burnout in the industry. Been seeing more and more people willing to talk about it in the wake of the pandemic. I know you don't attribute your burnout to the pandemic, and thats probably true, but I do think there's this sense of needing to vent and let go of something now that we're "back to normal". For myself I never really felt burnout DURING the pandemic, I just buckled down and worked my ass off. It's only post-pandemic that I've had a chance to pause and reflect and realize - holy shit, I've given my entire young adult life to my career and I think, I think I need to re-evaluate my priorities.

Very inspiring. I can see alot more people moving towards a simpler life. Keep sharing please.

Welkom in Nederland. :) hope you enjoy it here ❤

Interesting! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

Don't know why but I love the way you title your video. I also know you the burn out video and feel connected with what you've been through. Definitely want to see your sharing about simple living.

Love the video. I was similar to you but in the construction industry. Glad I wasn't the only one feeling that way. I wanted to climb the corporate ladder as quickly as possible but it backfired causing me to burn out. I just recently recovered and back to work but now have a different outlook in life and learn to find the balance.

Commenting for the algorithm. Andrew’s content is much needed in this world. ❤

Go Andrew :)

I want to live simple also since having a lot of stress. Your content is so helpful. On a tangent I know relationships are also important to a simple life, may I ask how did you and your partner meet?

So many layers of clothes inside compared to the other videos with the Under Armour T-Shirt...Canada seems to be better suited for cold weather....

Health is wealth…..I wonder how people would cope without KZfaq to fallback on! 😮
