I did that when i was 38. I did feel free for a while. I was chasing my dream. 2years later i was once again back to 9-5. My dream fell through. It subsided. Now i don’t have a dream that i want to quit for. I do not regret quitting. My point is not everyone has a dream that’s strong enough for them to leave their jobs for. But if you do you should go for it.
"you dont owe your life to your employer" very true but unfortunately most employers think the opposite even to the point that they belive you should still do the work even after you have stopped being paid.
My passion is fishing and cycling. I hate any kind of regular work since I was 5 years old lol. I work only so I have enough money to maintain my low budget lifestyle. I was asked to be a manager recently but I did not took the offer. Instead, I bought extra 5 weeks of holiday on top of my standard holiday package (by salary sacrifice). No stress, enough time and money to do whatever I like. I am not ambitious, I don't feel the need to feel acomplished, I don't feel the need to be competitive, I don''t have any goals. All I want is peace and everyone else to leave me alone.
I can so relate to this . Ever since i learnt to surf 23 years ago thats all i've ever wanted to do . Everytime i'm at work and the surf is good i just look at that day as a total waste . Always wanted to be able to just go whenever i want and not have to worry about it or let anyone down .
This is all fine jumping ship and taking a new path but for most people who work the day to day have families to support and a jump can cause unfortunate struggles on those around you. These situations are great when no one depends on you and you have the choice of freedom or someone to back you and support your path. In the end of the day we always need people to work the jobs others don’t want because we all depend on them in some aspects or another.

That’s why u don’t have kids or a gf or a wife until you have the path to provide for them. Otherwise your life will be a struggle, be selfish in your 20s and early 30s this is when you have the energy, health and momentum to build grind and ultimately take risks. The world doesn’t function on love kisses and hugs it functions in currency leverage and infrastructure. Money comes above all else it’s not the meaning and there is certainly More to life than money. But let’s get one thing straight if you want a loving relationship and calmness tranquility and peace of mind. Money will take u 90percent the way there. The other 10 percent will be your own personal character.
These are recurring thoughts for everyone in Big 4 accounting too. The politics, the hierarchy, the overwhelming dissatisfaction that comes with putting in 110% and getting a 3% pay rise - it’s all the same. Weirdly enough, I went into industry just to go back into the profession since I’d been very well conditioned to the high paced environment and found a less demanding job boring.

Insecure achievers. Fortunately I clocked this at Oxford and thought everyone was making dumb choices as all the rich people I'd met back home were trading scrap metal and hustling properties. I've worked independently for the last fifteen years since graduating.
Really hit the nail on the head with this! As someone who has also made the jump from big firms to small startups, I have never been happier! The reward and quality of life improvements are well worth the risk. I feel like my work now has a real and immediate impact. Plus the ability to directly impact the value of my stake in the company is a real motivator to go above and beyond. One thing that I would also add is the added sense of teamwork / community you get at a small fledgling business. You all depend on each other to do the best you can and it makes real difference in the day to day / relationships you have with your colleagues.
this is inspiring Matt! I am from China but work in london now for a long time. I am DREAMING of getting a remote job that I can go back home from time to time to visit my family.
Thanks for your insights, Matt. It's great to hear that you bet on yourself! I've just quit my job working as a solutions specialist for a tech reseller in Manchester (commission-based role) Average earning over the last 3 years was £115,000 per annum I've just sold my house in south Manchester & made over £100K profit Now I'm in a converted campervan, traveling Europe & trading commodities, crypto, and stocks in remote areas using Starlink! It's the best decision i've ever made and I whilst the market is down, investing with a good risk/reward ratio could change my life forever.

I was made redundant at the end of last year. I got a job at a bank for less money, hated it. Then took a job cooking in a local cafe for three days. Hated it. Now just landed a sales retentions manager role working from home. I am going to need to step completely out of my comfort zone, as you said follow the path more unknown and terrifying. I have landed three jobs in less then 2 months. Feel like I'm doing something right, try and keep trying
Really good video and thanks for making it and sharing your experience. I've been there too. I invested young, into property, and so was tied down into paying back those loans. The commute, work, sleep pattern is definitely familiar and yes, I think back now and knew I was trapped too. However, after a year of being unwell, I vowed that after that I would start again and somehow managed to build a business. It was hard, but with the return of my early investments and I suppose belief and luck, all worked out. I do feel though that sometimes you gotta suffer for good things to happen. It's easy to say in hindsight, but I do agree with your message in this video. Cheers

Exactly the same as yourself Tony. I’m quite unsatisfied with the industry and I’m looking to start doing things for myself. I’ve even got to the point where I’d take a drop in pay to get something more rewarding and worthwhile. It definitely won’t be easy but it’s worth trying!
About the current bank situation, I'm really concerned. I am worried about a lot more if a bank the size of SVB may fail. I have a friend who manages a fast-growing startup and was severely impacted by the bank run. I have taken more than $840k out of my bank. Since the FDIC only provides coverage up to $250K, an implosion could have negative consequences. presently want to invest in the stock market. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might proceed?
I advise you to seek professional advice because building a strong financial portfolio is more challenging. Your long-term objectives and budgetary preferences can be catered to in the ideas you get after that.
The SVB scenario serves as a warning that Fed rate hikes are still having an effect even though the economy has so far held up. Investors should always be on the lookout for the next inevitable development. I'll suggest that you consult a financial consultant because you don't have to act on every projection. For some time, this has served as my fallback stance.

86k is still nothing in London after tax and mortgage or rental Bills. You need 150k or more for decent life. Was actuary and hated it. Learned trading and took me 2 years to get profitable.

Imagine people living with a 30K-40K salary or slightly less... I don't think you need 150k for a decent life. It depends how you manage your finances and how you spend your money. Well, if your goal is to live like a sultan, even 300K isn't that much, just saying.

When he said, "Whether I'm right or wrong, whether the market goes up and down, it doesn't matter. I'm good regardless," I couldn't comprehend it. People are suffering significant financial losses right now. Personally, I've been investing in stocks since the beginning of the year, but my situation hasn't improved. Meanwhile, I've come across articles about individuals still profiting over $350,000 in just a few months in the same market. It's a challenging environment!
I completely agree! I reached out to a Financial Analyst because it's easy to jump into popular stocks these days, but the real challenge is knowing when to buy or sell. That's where my advisor comes in, helping me determine entry and exit points in the industries I'm involved in. I've managed to generate a 60% profit in just five months, starting with my initial capital of $160,000.
Certainly. ROCH DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* is my advisor and a well-respected figure in her field. I got acquainted with her through my wife. Although my wife has her contact number, you can also verify her credentials and reach out to her directly.
in my 20s and 30s I didn’t feel like I had enough life experience to give this sort of advice… apparently things have changed … the reason you have these options is bc you worked hard on your education and early career, that’s not everyone mate.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire without any investment. Retirement becomes truly fulfilling when you possess two essential elements: financial resources and a meaningful purpose in life. Make prudent investment choices to secure good returns and ensure a comfortable retirement and also you may need Cynthia McClure Alexander's guideline
Office is more productive, not less productive. Most people slack working from home. Not to mention weaker interpersonal communications between colleagues
@@honourlulu5562 Wrong. Corporations would not demand workers come back to office if the workers did same or better job at home (not even mentioning corporations saving on office rent payments)
How did you blag the interview if you didn't want the job, FFS I want the Job and they choose candidates like you. Someone in The HR team needs to be fired.

When he said, "Whether I'm right or wrong, whether the market goes up and down, it doesn't matter. I'm good regardless," I couldn't comprehend it. People are suffering significant financial losses right now. Personally, I've been investing in stocks since the beginning of the year, but my situation hasn't improved. Meanwhile, I've come across articles about individuals still profiting over $350,000 in just a few months in the same market. It's a challenging environment!
I completely agree! I reached out to a Financial Analyst because it's easy to jump into popular stocks these days, but the real challenge is knowing when to buy or sell. That's where my advisor comes in, helping me determine entry and exit points in the industries I'm involved in. I've managed to generate a 60% profit in just five months, starting with my initial capital of $160,000.
Certainly. ROCH DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* is my advisor and a well-respected figure in her field. I got acquainted with her through my wife. Although my wife has her contact number, you can also verify her credentials and reach out to her directly.
How old were you when you joined and left?
I also work in a bank want to end up doing like you loool.
Most people are better off with benefits in this country
in my 20s and 30s I didn’t feel like I had enough life experience to give this sort of advice… apparently things have changed … the reason you have these options is bc you worked hard on your education and early career, that’s not everyone mate.
Finance is supposed to be temporary. Work hard
I couldn't go back to working for someone else now. No way at all. It's my choice now to knock in 60 hours a week! haha
Nice surprise to see you here Robbie! I'm in the process of buying a new home that has artificial grass. Will be ripping it straight up and following your tips to get a nice new (proper) lawn!
@@MattBrighton I have been following you for a while now 🙂 Once you lift the plastic stuff, it if has been installed properly there will be a load of hardcore under it, that will also have to go in the skip as it will cause issues with the new lawn and stop it from draining
oh - didn't think about that but very good point! Here's me hoping it isn't installed correctly. You'll see a video on it at some point!
Are true is this ?
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire without any investment. Retirement becomes truly fulfilling when you possess two essential elements: financial resources and a meaningful purpose in life. Make prudent investment choices to secure good returns and ensure a comfortable retirement and also you may need Cynthia McClure Alexander's guideline
After you understand that can make more money with less stress on UA-cam!
UA-cam comes with its own unique stresses 😂
@@MattBrighton I understand mate, have to deal with everyone who leaves a comment and post periodically to keep your audience, not easy at all!!
Bloody hell the working class struggle , living in London would be bad enough never mind if I was on 85k a year
AI will replace all of our jobs anyways so make money while you can.
You probably got fired, because banking sector in london is imploding due to brexit.
The piano is too loud.
3 things: brexit, brexit, brexit
lol 9-5 sounds like a dream
Great advice if you have lived through exactly the same work experience. Probably terrible advice if you have not.
Office is more productive, not less productive. Most people slack working from home. Not to mention weaker interpersonal communications between colleagues
Myopic view
@@honourlulu5562 Wrong. Corporations would not demand workers come back to office if the workers did same or better job at home (not even mentioning corporations saving on office rent payments)
Nah. Too much petulance in the workplace by “adults”. I’m good.
Is only work when you have that UA-cam money.
the repetitive routine ... it kills me i feel like im losing valuable time
I’m a paramedic so…
Get a dog.
Generation of quitters and "oh my mental health"
You must not have been working in a good field. 80k gbp is a starter at a good bank in London lol
Definitely back office 😂
So millennial...
How did you blag the interview if you didn't want the job, FFS I want the Job and they choose candidates like you. Someone in The HR team needs to be fired.
Bruh this exact same thing happened to me I swear 😂I was in reading doing internal auditing wake up go work go gym then sleep oh yeah and smoke that green you know which woke me up actually after 3 months I called it quit I rather go live in a small hut in a country side then go back to that life ever again
