@bartphlegar8212 Год назад

Inspirational video as always, Jean... 🙂...Before I left the States, I turned down three different jobs. They paid well enough, but after crunching the numbers (your CBA) I came to the conclusion with each one of them that I would be spending 4 dollars to make 3...It's ridiculous...So now I am floating around Asia, down to 3 suitcases, and happier now than I have been since the last time I was in this same state back in the 1990s... 😃...The message is - which you articulate so well - is that it is more important to have a "mission" in life than to have a "job". Whether that mission is service to humanity, creating something, or just enjoying yourself and letting your spirit run free, doesn't matter. The improvements to your state of mind - say nothing of your stress-free physical being - far outweigh the fake fear of shedding that warehouse full of stuff that most people refer to as their "home". Home isn't a specific physical place. It is where your life takes place...Mabuhay!... 😉

@funtowngames1523 11 месяцев назад

I always want to take the leap and ask what exactly lets you stay afloat financially, but i fear its very rude and selfish. I am stuck and i am having to reach into new avenues to continue searching for what i want and need out of life and at this moment i am writing this comment while feeling like i said previously. So to not continue using your time, can you please tell me what exactly you would describe as a good way to have a sustainable and stable (mainly financially) life floating around asia like you said? Is it a specific skillset or managerial position? Thank you for reading and for your time to anyone reading this and whether you reply or not! Have a good day/ night!

@JUPITER11119 3 месяца назад

Life gets more complex when you have children, but I get a bit more courage when I watch your videos and marvel at the wonderful life you have created. Thanks for posting

@JeanVoronkova Год назад

yes, it absolutely does, and I appreciate you pointing that out and then still saying that my childless person input is helpful to you lol. If it's of any comfort, there are also a lot of families here (caucasian and japanese) in Bali who manage to make it work with 1-2 kids and still a similar lifestyle to ours. Mostly business owners here. Which in itself must have been a leap to start out in.

@alessial134 Год назад

I was just gonna ask the same thing - how can you do that if you have children?? Like their education etc….

@yeechairen Год назад

It would be great if you could interview a family living in Bali so they can share how they manage to make it work with kids! 😊

@tawhidasquest337 Год назад

Though I respect your videos but it’s not applicable for many countries out there. For example we can’t even think of quitting job in Bangladesh. Specially when you need to take financial responsibilities!

@K_mich88 Год назад

yeah, things get more complexed with kids. You have to think of their education, their future and your own old age. And as age comes, you need good medical nearby. We can only try our best to plan and calculate things and cross our fingers to hope everything works out. We can plan all we want but the one above can just throw you the curveball.

@timvl8677 Год назад

Your video perfectly personified my experience Made my decision 7 years ago when I was driving home from from work and then started researching. Bali came top of the list.

I was in a bad car accident. It changed my social behavior, the way I look, and my anxiety. I started gardening for meditation and healthy benefits. In January I took a leap and started a RU-vid channel for myself memory retention and engaging with society. I just want to say thank you. Your video was motivation and reassuring to keep on pushing. I appreciate you.

@tankareno Год назад

Hi Jean, Well it wasn't this video but it was one of previous videos that helped me make up my mind. In fact I remember the line you spoke went something like this. "Being messed with by people in positions they have no business being in." I don't remember the exact video in which you said that but it stuck in my head. I was being messed with because I am a whistle blower. It was a bullshit job as you say on top it. I did my research threaten legal action but was offered an early retirement. I took it. I could have stayed and continued to be messed and gaslighted by my co-workers and management. I decided to take the leap , get out of comfort zone.

When I was younger in my teens in the 90's, I was scared to take a leap, because I had this fear of failing. I learned that if you fall at something in life when you take a leap, that it's okay. Because you have the choice to go back out and make it happen for myself and family that I love. Jean I always love you're thoughts on any subject on you're channel.

@rickrulloda2023 Год назад

in my 20s, my 30s, and 40s, and even 50s, I have taken the leap (of faith) and reaped many rewards...nowadays, I'm just reinventing the traditional class structure (straight lecture) for my 7th graders, and have them contribute to their learning and their future. Not the easiest road, but I'm fine with the process and, so seemingly, for my students from the feedback they imparted to me. Jean, your message is timeless and worth repeating through the ages.

@vanhalen45 Год назад

@@JeanVoronkova This is a very common concern (among many) for would be (adult) nomads. Schooling considerations become a concern for one parent or the other. I am of the belief that the combination of a great online school like Acellus Academy, etc. AND the culture/language/experience benefits of travel itself will more than make up for a regular school life here in Texas. People are concerned about the social and academic challenges that kids might face and how that might impact college fitness, etc. I say do it anyway.

Hi Jean, Taking such leap is not risky as long as one makes the assessment based on the prevailing (available) information. This will make one more experienced and confident in the decision making. Most importantly, there will be no regret as one has made the desired decision regardless of the outcome of such decision. Wtk

@giancork1656 Год назад

I made a few 'leap' so far in life (mainly by relocating a couple of times in different countries). I stopped 'leaping' after my son was born and I separated. I wanted to be in the same country my son is and wanted him to have a present father. He is now 17. And I am starting to think about.....a 'small new leap' in the next 4/5 years. Might seem a bit late, given I will be 48 this year! But I want to carve a different path for myself. Which I kinda did even if I didnt leap, but changed work so many times and caught all chances I had to always study something new and expand my knowledge. Good luck to all the 'leapers' future and past! Pizza&Love

@DeanBKK Год назад

I've been following your videos for a while, and enjoy hearing about your FIRE journey. It would be cool if you did a video revealing your "nest egg" retirement figures, while also showing your passive income (like RU-vid earnings, dividend earnings etc). If that's too personal I understand. But I'm curious if this is sustainable for the next 40 years if the nest egg isn't as big. Anyway, I think it's really impressive that you were able to retire within 4 years.

@vanhalen45 Год назад

This is exactly what I was thinking about. Lawyer quits job. Question: how much did she save prior to leaving that job? Also, the word condo was mentioned once or twice. Q: How much equity was involved upon sale? This gets to that issue of investable funds ( FIRE nestegg the commenter described ). I am operating on an optimistic 6 to 8 year 401k build up , IRA cash out AND future real estate liquidation to provide FIRE funding pool. Is this what Jean did ? Curious minds want to know.

@Calcifurr Год назад

I’m a miserable teacher. I just finished school & thought now I’m finally here, I’m finally in my career able to be financially stable. However, my mental and physical health have never been more unstable ever. I am absolutely miserable. My huge leap of faith would be to quit my job and start my own bakery/cafe. I’ve baked on the side in college and was able to make some money. People still come to me and ask if I’m selling my baked goods. Another dream is to have my own homestead, garden, and raise chickens. These are my 2 biggest dreams. I’m not sure what I’m waiting for. I’m scared that I may be unsuccessful. But I am definitely more scared to stay where I am for the rest of my life. I guess I just cannot believe I spent 10 years after college for a bachelors, masters, and credentials all to leave my current profession.

@samerethsalliman1881 Год назад

Before making the leap of faith in Southeast Asia, how much savings do you suggest? $40K? $50K? $60K? Or more? This could last me over 2 years, assuming I don't earn any income at all. I am considering serving as an agent for custom fashion, clothing, embroidery, and printing businesses. Just need to know the factories in Southeast Asia that do what they do well. Selling to the New Worlds and Europe? Or working as an Independent Contractor and partnering up with established companies in real estate and/or international trade companies? Perhaps getting 30% to 50% for all deals I bring in? I am thinking of more entrepreneurship. Your thoughts, Jean?

@@JeanVoronkova I have never said that I have "fantastic measures" to save the world. I just don't see the idea of taking the "leap" feasible for most people. I think the idea of retiring at a young age is very selfish because young people can do much more to help than the old people. If everyone leaves for Bali, who is going to put the food on the grocery shelves, delivery your mail or teaching the children at schools? Having a job is more than just earning a living; rather, it shows that we work toward something that the society can benefit from or perhaps rely on. I have devoted my entire life as a school teacher. I have never tried to save the world; instead, I try to live a life without wasting.

@@Thomas-Chin10 You have very limiting views. She never suggested that retiring early was the solution for every person on the planet, nor that retiring early consisted of no longer working. Her message is intended for those of us who no longer want to be debt slaves stuck in a monotonous cycle of eat, sleep, work to make others rich, while we live paycheck to paycheck. If you enjoy your job so much, good for you, but why are you watching videos like this? Maybe you have regrets, and maybe you are miserable. I appreciate this woman for inspiring us to live our lives rather than just simply existing. Did you teach children to think critically or did you only assist the governments in their indoctrination programs? Jean is working online and making a living which allows her to enjoy a rich life. She is helping herself and all those around her who have the benefit of entering her sphere. I'm sure she also helps alot of people in ways you can't imagine. Open your eyes Sir and listen with your senses. Life can be beautiful in this chaotic and uncertain world, but it is up to us as individuals to create our own reality. 😊

But what about retirement fund 😢

@JeanVoronkova Год назад

in the bigger scheme of things, I do believe money plays an important but still rather secondary role to overall life satisfaction and happiness. Plus retirement funds can get a lot bigger or smaller depending on where you end up retiring :p adjustments to the plan maybe? Also, not everyone's big leap turns out to be as impecunious as mine what. Some people leap their way to millions of dollars lol. Must have faith!

@@JeanVoronkova Jean, Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed your videos a great deal over the last year and you always add great perspective. This will be my 3rd time and I will be spending at least 3 -4 months a year for the next couple of years and then moving full time. Actually think I will look for property a bit this time......Hoping to travel to Amed, to the north and visit some folks whose writing I enjoy in addition to yours. I will still be working online while I am there, so will be centered somewhere not too far from a beach. That being said, I am not a partier will even being going to a church while there....I am very sad I missed Nyepi...Hope I run into you all. Take care and thank you for being who you are...articulate, calm and informative.

I saw your parents own the landed house which cost around a few million dollars in Singapore. Would this be a reason you feel more secure and safe to have a freedom life ?

@beautifulstranger101 Год назад

In her defence, those were much cheaper back then lol

@JeanVoronkova Год назад

hi Kevin, a few mistaken assumptions here I feel I must correct. First, my parents in Singapore are definitely comfortable but still pretty middle class. I grew up in a HDB in Tiong Bahru area till I was 15. Pertaining to my parents' home, even today, there are HDBs being sold at a similar price to its valuation, so it's not really what you think. I am not a single child. Further, my parents and I are definitely financially separate and independent. I am privileged and blessed that they are generous enough to not require or expect my financial support. That's definitely a huge factor in my freedom. But i definitely do not use my parents to offset the financial consequences of my life choices. I got my first part time job at 16 with Lian He Zao Bao, I waitressed throughout university plus emcee and acting and modelling gigs and I haven't stopped since.

@georgevelt7125 Год назад

Hi Jean , good to see you are attracting a good following . 😊 I must say that being bold enough to commit to say your system is not risky is fraught with danger . World financial houses are battening down as are many mums and dads across the globe. As an investor myself i think the comment is a very broad statement simply because even the best investors are currently are more than cautious, they are pulling back. Sure multi nationals and the likes of Elon Musk Warren Buffet can loose money , in fact Elon just lost 21 million I believe and I know that Mr Buffet lost a substantial amount on a poorly advised venture . Good night

@JeanVoronkova Год назад

Actually, I did say pretty clearly towards the end of the video “of course there are risks but….blah blah manage the risks and u need to decide if you want to give up those manageable risk for the unimaginable rewards”. But as to your point, is there any day out there where some investor somewhere isn’t losing millions of dollars? And is there some secret golden day out there where the world financial economy is so awesome and swimming for everyone in the world that everyone deciding to take a leap on that day will face no risks? U tell me.

I’ve done a whole series of videos on retirement and the recurring refrain is that the point of retirement isn’t about doing nothing, it’s about keeping busy w what u please without having to worry about making money. Decoupling work from money in other words. Even my 72 year old retired dad keeps busy w cooking n gardening everyday n he Googles too. No one just sits around n grows mouldy…. That’s such a myth and misunderstanding about retirement.

@@JeanVoronkova Exactly! People are programmed not to think outside of the box. Work a job you hate, for a company who pretends to care about you because you make them rich, then if you manage to survive the stress without getting cancer, you can "retire"...doing nothing while rotting away mentally, emotionally and physically without a purpose. No thank you! My Dad retired to a recliner and died young at 68.
