I am also same age as you, 37 and single (probably intend to stay so for rest of my life). I left my corporate job last year June, which I was paid quite a high salary of over 10k monthly. Now I am driving PHV, just to pass time and earn some daily income. I am considered barista fire, as also similar to you my high income over the years in the past and investments helps me built a substantial nest egg already and I just want to leave the rat race and enjoy life over earning more $$. Hope you can find your right path too!
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s good that you had the prudence to set aside funds when you were drawing a high income and therefore able to barista FIRE now. Quite often I see higher earners spend a lot as well which just feels so high risk to me. Appreciate the candid sharing and well wishes!
Take this time to re organize your next chapter, just like when we go to firing range ,we need to zero our rifle, wish you the best in ur next journey, don't rush ,smell the roses before u start the madness of wkg life..cheers!!
I am same age as you and also going to left my corporate job end of Feb. 😄Probably at least in this few months, I will like to spend more time with family, considering barista fire, doing some skill upgrade, attend course, doing things I like and maybe some side hustle and doing some content. If things don't work out well, will keep a lookout and back to corporate job haha
You should probably go for the interview if that’s your wish. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with the firm and the reasons for leaving are a lot more about me 🥲
You are the same age as me. I have a professional degree (FCCA), it is so specialized in that particular field which made me handicap after I was unemployed at the age of 35. I am self employed in a totally different industry now and I am really glad that I've left corporate life as I finally realized that money cannot buy time and being self employed means you have control of your own time and income. All the best to you!
Hey thanks for sharing your experience. Glad that you have found something that makes you happy outside of corporate life! I’m indeed looking forward to being self-employed again 😄 Thanks for the comment and well wishes, all the best to you too!
Hello 👋 I’m curious why do you leave Provident? How about joining FA? I also did a career change last year to FA from accounting and also doing tuition full time and teaching in school too
I have spent at least a decade in both FA and tuition 😅 Will probably do a video on the reasons why I left if there is enough demand for it. Thanks for the comment!
oh i thought u are around 25. i like your contents. very insightful . you are one of my fav financial influencer. wish u all the best for next chapter.
Regardless of what path you chose you take from this point onwards, it's probably a good good opportunity reset from your routine and a good chance to get a better hold on what's gonna be more important to you for the next stage of your life. I think many people got the feeling that their work is no longer fulfilling for them but they simply don't have the courage to step away and start anew. It's also a privilege that you have the financial stability to have a choice going forward (i.e. don't have to immediately start another full-time job to put food on the table). That's all results of good financial planning you've done in the last decade of your working life. I think it's also a good lesson for all of us in a way :) Goodluck going forward bro, whatever you choose to pursue.
Hi there, first of all I want to thank you for the very thoughtful comment. I did not expect to get such a considered response to my yapping 😅 Appreciate your kind words and best of luck to you too 🙏
We were trying to find something mutually beneficial but I guess some things are not meant to be. But while the paths split I don’t think they will diverge very much. I guess this has to be more elaborated in a full video on its own 😅 Thanks for the comment
if you do choose the driving option, please document it! It's such a struggle going through the school route cos it's almost impossible to book lesson slots...
I opine that it will be better to go through the private driving instructor route though the number of such instructors is dwindling and even becomes extinct.
Actually you might be able to take more jobs like going for finance related events since you are now working full time with content creation. As for mid career support for taking degree or diploma, you can work it out with SSG on how you can get support given that you are slightly below 40 yo.
Haha yeah I definitely will have more time and energy to focus on my finfluencer side of things! For SSG, I don’t think can appeal la. But I wil look into it. Thanks for the comment!
Hahah funnily enough I have been self employed for like 13 years until I got this full-time job. But yeah excited to be back to self employment! Thanks for the nice words!
By the time you receive your degree, you will be around 40. At 40 to look for a job as a beginner is not easy. But it a good try anyway, better then waist you time away
Trust you make decision for your better future. Wish you all the best to next venture... (The car stock video is hell...but I like 😂 (And I'm still interested to know the reason of leaving 😂
When you first did the video with Chris, I felt that you weren’t a suitable match this role. It’s good you both have moved on. All the best for your career ahead.
@ from a management perspective, having a YT channel aka side hustles with a full time job (commitment with Providend), do not seem to gel. I’m sure you are aware of Christopher’s goals for the company. I would say he needs someone with that fervor and commitment. Just my observation but I may be wrong. You need to know what you want in life first.
Yeah I can see why it doesn’t seem to gel. But the company is openminded enough to see whether it would work out which is why they offered me the job after watching my video. I think I would have fit nicely in another role within the company but it is unfortunately occupied. Such is life. Thanks for the elaboration.
@@valh84 me having the same thoughts/views as you too about Sethisfy. But nevertheless, go and persue your dreams and enjoy doing things you like and good at Sethisfy. Your die-hard fan/suopporter.😊
its sad to hear that you lost your job in this competitive market. However i would like to encourage you to get your full time job first before being self employed at least you are still stable.
Just never saw the need for it. There was a stretch of time in my life where I was earning very low amount so it never felt like a car was within reach. I’m also quite happy taking public transport so just didn’t get around to learning driving.
Hahaha ya lor rather just turn off my brain and use my phone or Steam Deck. I don’t even Grab unless I have to, just public transport as much as possible.
Wish you well. Like your sense of humour. Another door will open for you (soon). I also want to explore content creation ...maybe we can work together if you need someone who is "ordinary" who can raise a family and yet save enough to FIRE at 55 (I know nothing boastful but I am happy for myself I did it)..haha
@@Sethisfy yeah but you will need alot more energy to recover once you do extrovert-related stuff..hence innately you are still an introvert..cause im like that too.
That Christopher and Mr Loo (1M65) are like buddies buddies... make it sound like Providend is such a good company that takes care of their clients... The company must be not very good. At the end of the day, it is still all about making more money.
@@Sethisfy i don't have all the facts obviously. But it seems you have a good boss and helping others in managing their money is interesting. Perhaps you were asking for too much from the job.

Please do a video on why you left! I've always wanted to work for Providend and I'd love to know abit more on how things are like on the inside :)
You should probably go for the interview if that’s your wish. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with the firm and the reasons for leaving are a lot more about me 🥲
excited to know what you're up to next!

YOU ARE 37???????? HOW???? You look 21
Wah thanks that’s a huge discount 🙏🥲
Food
Surprised you left Providend, any reasons why?
Thanks for the interest, will probably make a video on this 😅
37 is still young. Just do the things you enjoy doing. It's time to enjoy the fruits from the many years of hardwork and brute savings.
Thank you for the advice. Definitely going to take a while to take stock and take a breather 🙏
dont worry. you will find one if you look hard enough
@ appreciate the encouragement. Thank you!
Wow. To be able to work for fun instead of ensuring to work for survival.. thats a blessing and a dream.
It’s definitely a privilege. Glad I scrimped, saved and hustled for years 😌
I vote for yapping, ur enunciation is impeccable, can do MC-ing 🎤!! All the best to your future endeavors!!!!
Thanks for the very kind comment but I’m sure it’s very far from impeccable 😅 trying my best

Hahah funnily enough I have been self employed for like 13 years until I got this full-time job. But yeah excited to be back to self employment! Thanks for the nice words!
Skipped the product placement
Mid-career switch is fine. Focus on your career health and develop new skills that will go a long way.
By the time you receive your degree, you will be around 40. At 40 to look for a job as a beginner is not easy. But it a good try anyway, better then waist you time away
Haha I was thinking a degree + work experience would help. But yeah probably gonna study for interest instead of career if I’m going that route
do fire overseas ?
Probably not FIRE overseas but short stints of being a digital nomad sounds like something I wanna try
I thought you had tuition center, do you not have the tuition business anymore?
I still retain some shares in the business but I do not actively participate in the business anymore.
Be your own boss liao Boss Seth !
Freelancer la not boss. Big difference (boss is tiring 😂)
@@Sethisfy 😏
How much is sufficient for u to FIRE?
haha wah this one is an entire video on its own ;)
@@Sethisfywould be interested in your full video on your FIRE
Providend have unrealistic sales targets?
The KPIs are alright. Definitely not a reason for my departure.
You can work as a full time content creator! One door closed, another door open! You got a talent in content creating. 😅
Yes that will be the immediate future :D Thanks for the compliment… I will try my best 🙏🏼
Trust you make decision for your better future. Wish you all the best to next venture...

do you have kids to support?

On the flip side, many non-singles cannot retire early as they start families without thinking how it would affect their own financial aspirations.
please share why u left! 😆
okok we are close to the arbitrary number of comments I have in mind for that video to happen hahaha 😆
Barista FIRE is my goal, but sadly i am millions of dollars away 😢
anyway, hope to see you more on youtube! 😄
and hopefully in real life too 😅
Wah millions in the plural means your expenses very high la haha. Different kind of FIRE
@@Sethisfy no la, just to have a bigger, thicker safety net lol

you seem like an introvert, so the extrovert kind of role may not suit you
Fairly accurate haha but I think I’m more of an ambivert

Perhaps its by choice, and not by circumstances
Hmm I would say it’s maybe 60/40
That Christopher and Mr Loo (1M65) are like buddies buddies... make it sound like Providend is such a good company that takes care of their clients... The company must be not very good. At the end of the day, it is still all about making more money.
