Perfect

Wow look at that river !! So cool!!

I want to meet you Jean. You speak directly to the soul brain mind heart whatever we call it!

I love your videos. I always watch them during work and often catch myself thinking, 'What am I still doing here?' You are so real and inspirational, and I hope to take the leap and fulfill my dreams soon . All I want is simple and peacefull life. But I will never find this peace here in Germany

That didn't help at all 😂. All I want is to retire, my struggle is getting the capital, I already have my number just no way to achieve it with the medical issues I have.

So, in the past I got money conscious. I started actually saving for the first time. I had a few hundred dollars invested in stocks, and the stocks were increasing. The one problem though, at the time I was a raging alcoholic. I ended up getting arrested due to an incident related to alcohol and had to spend a week in jail. I had almost $10,000 in fines and legal costs. I was wiped out financially. So, keep in mind that if you intend on saving money and building wealth, make sure you're not putting yourself in any position that could cost you everything you worked hard for. I haven't caught a buzz or got drunk in a year now as if July 2nd. I now know there's not much that can stop me from making my dreams come true.

@quanguyen just listen the first seconds

I am 35 yrs old now I retire last year, my advise to you guys; 1.Take advantage of your health before you become sick. 2. Take advantage your time before you become busy. 3.take advantage of your life before death. Follow me for more tips about early retiring, yes we need money to live but we don't live for money

Very Inspiring Message! ❤️💪🏽🙏🏾

Enjoy. Relax. Be safe ❤

How does one generate passive income? Just through investing or owning real estate? Are there other ways?

I can confirm: Naming your saving accounts is extremely motivating. I use revolut for my savings - pay check comes in on another account and then I deduct the money from there onto Revolut. I also use Revolut as my daily spending account, loading the card with a weekly budget. That has helped me tremendously to get my spending in order. Especially since I live in a cash free country. Cash is all to often not accepted anymore or seriously annoys the staff ;) what I like about Revolut is that I can name as many saving accounts as I wish to have. I feel like it’s more intuitive and user-friendly than my regular bank. It’s almost fun ;) Surely there are other digital banks like that!

Test Run Early Retirement - that's the magic phrase and that's what I did. It worked for me.

Same here. Finally quit my „fancy“ job in the contemporary art business that a lot of people envied and always told me how amazing… truth spoken, it was far from amazing - having a burn-out at 33, I quit a mid-level management position. Then I went back as a director at 34 and finally quit last month. Overtime was a give, working six days, being constantly available for rich collectors and their mood swings, working for choleric bosses, bad pay, I worked so much that 50% of my annual holiday was not redeemed, and so forth. The job never aligned with my values and at 36 I figured my life is too precious and short to spend it in a nest of narcissistic egomaniacs. I never regret quitting!

I have every desire to live life as you do, maybe not in Bali, but folks who say you're faking retirement seriously have no idea that you have "retired" from societies conditioned definition of what retirement or living in general should be. Time is our most valuable asset and no one outside of you could define what that should look or feel like. The people around the world has been tricked into selling their time for money for survival when time is the one commodity you cant put a price tag on. This will be my life very soon, thank you for your inspiration and bravery in sharing your experience with a world full of those passing judgement because you were brave enough to carve your own path and not follow what society deemed the only choice available. You guys are rock stars to me😀

I never subscribe or comment, but I found you to be so sweet and genuine, insightful and thoughtful; so subscribe it is!

totally agree. Work makes you sick. You need to wake up and function, even if you couldn't fall asleep the night before or didn't sleep well. I work in a 2-shift system and after 5 years, I feel horrible. I also work in an office, which means I sit most of the day. We work in a warehouse, so we don't have real fresh air and only have artificial light. During breaks, you can either eat some food you cooked before and put in the microwave or get some fast food. So how can all this be healthy? I always wonder how other people handle this stuff, but after this time it just feels depressing and really unhealthy to me. I think of quitting every single day. I have no kids, no debts. The only thing is my 'investment addiction'. I live pretty frugally and invest most of my money so I can retire as soon as possible. But if I quit my job, I might not be able to invest for a long time, also I dont really know what kind of work I like to do. I'm not sure what to do..

The urge only kicks for the poor that have no joy in their life. You regret it if you're lonely, which alot if not most of people are, otherwise,you don't regret headache

Thank you so much! Coming to try living there for 2 months and see how I like it❤

Started working at 18, strived and grew my portfolio to $600k by 33. Recently, lost over 30% and want to mitigate risks. I'm planning on buying a home soon and want my portfolio to grow to a 7-figure ball park I can retire in 9 years. What should I do?

Ugh. Having kids is just NOT the best CHOICE.😒😡

Yay 🎉❤

Hello jean

I love Topics

I am an American lawyer licensed in 3 states. I built my own successful law business and retired at age 35 to Hawaii. Then I moved to France which is a beautiful place to retire.

Married 38 years and now a widow as my beloved husband died from an operation almost 6 months ago. We were both blessed. He had no regrets and I don't either.

Thanks for sharing this informative video -how you enjoy your life in this land.

For people who have achieved FIRE, and can independently support the remainder of their lives, I have no problem with them having no kids. But for those who cannot support themselves yet chooses to have no kids, they are selfish and cause societal problems because then they start draining resources when they get old and expect others to take care of them.

It's fine to live such life style, as long as financial is not an issue. My mother is a housewife, she never has any ambition, she just lives the way she wants. Now she is 76, everything is fine. Education has given us the role model Life to live, which is not suitable for everyone. Try to live a happy life, the you win.

With all due respect but your statements contradict each other. Like you worked in big law firm 7 years yet low savings, Then somehow you quickly mentioned investment property (lol) and then in the middle of the story you reveal that you do actually have savings which are investments in stocks and tiny bit of crypto... and close to the end of story you suddenly mention used to earn big fat salary. I guess the idea of this video was to gain viewers from Finance (that is how it came to my feed while I was listening to something else). But, overall, I am impressed that you could bs around 12 minutes with quite and nice voice. Your might quit law but your lawyer self still bs'ing around. (No hate just annoyed by inaccuracies)

You folks are living a dream life. That's exactly I want to do. I lived in Indonesia when I was growing up, that too in Jakarta. But been to Bali and love the place. I will be working for few more years and plan to buy a lease villa for 30 years and hopefully live there for rest of my life. But before I do that, I want to make sure I have 2mil $ in my account as my retirement saving. :)

Thank you 🤍 I found this video so meaningful and heartwarming

I’m grateful for our very good work-life balance jobs. But I’m tired of the rat race. I still have to be there for work. It still feels meaningless. I wish I could get out. But my spouse loooves to spend money and refuses to learn about how to use it for freedom. It’s hard once you are married to someone who doesn’t understand.

This was beautiful!

Solution: acknowledge your regrets, then forget about them. That was your past. Focus on the present and toward the future.

Im investing like 70% of my income atm, I want to quit this rat race asap und just enjoy a simple life . My plan is either move to Bali or Thailand , Germany doesnt feel like my home nomore

Thank you for your time and posting. I'll be visiting VN in late October to see if I want to retire there. Nha Trang is on my list. :)

Quit and invest in dodgy stocks and an overpriced house. Become the slave of the bank and wall street instead.Until the next crisis comes along and wiped off. The problem is not the job but the system.

Dont let money decide where you live and how you live. You decide how and where you want to live and then control the money in your account accordingly

Hi Jean. I was the only one in my family (including extended) that emigrated and always sought after other cultures. I am from Panama, a country that is very familiar with foreigners yet Panamenians (now all 4 mil of us) are not kin to exploration. Perhaps because we already have the whole world going right thru it. Your observations are so acurate. I have experienced it twice. I became an "immigrant/immigrant" best way I can explain. Lived in the US 40 years, serve in the military etc. Then went back to Panama only to exit and gone to live in Italy where I am currently at. Talking about head spinnin but you are right about being a fish out of water back home. In my case Panama and the US. Thanks for the video the clarity and the positive spin.

16:26 So sassy lol

I reckon my employer is planning to get rid of me (already many victims already). Watching your video n getting your wisdom actually make me feel happy this shit is happening 😊

你绑起头发的样子很好看。比方散头发而你方散头发时已经是美女了。

Of course is not selfish. The most selfish thing is giving to birht.

We felt the same way at the beginning. Then we decided to adopt. It is not easy, but we are so happy with our decision.

Jean I wish we could meet a couple like you guys to travel with us. I´m the same age as you and no kids either. Many other similarities too. xx

Some serious surfing 🌊 skills.

You have a very calm demeanour and such an authentic presence. Glad to have discovered you, subscribed🎉

Great video.
