Techlead : retiring form youtube Techlead : how i retired as an ex-youtuber
the sudden change from a depressed ex-google, ex-nasa, millionaire asian stuck in the middle of las vegas to a traveling self-helf guru feels so uncanny
You underestimate how a good family can help you in life. Some people just are not taught how to thrive it is a massive problem in society.
His ideas are soo all over the place it feels like a rant more than anything else
Here is the answer to the video title. How I retired in 5 years: 1- I knew exactly what I needed. specific goal or vision. 2- I figured how much I need to sustain this goal or lifestyle. 3- Once I got to the amount of money I needed, I quit the full-time job. 4- I focused on something I prefer doing, which is making youtube videos which in itself a full-time job but at least I'm really passionate about. 5- Now I make money regardless and I also have enough originally to sustain my original goal or vision which is literally (living on my basic needs like any man on earth, knowing luxurious products are pointless/ it's only for women or kids, so spending only on basic important needs such as food and house) So therefore I'm free early in life, enjoying and I don't give a F what other people do running in circles to gain pointless stuff and sustain BS lifestyle, instead of living the moment and enjoying the actual life.
My strategy combines ETFs for dividends and growth, including JEPI, DIVO, QYLD, SCHD, and JEPQ. Last year, my dividends totaled $102K. but not sure how to mitigate risk thus far for this year.
Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.
Love that you edit your videos with your own footage and not that generic stock video crap most youtubers use.
It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.
The average retiree, I believe, should have been able to have enough to last the rest of his days. I t just depends on choices during your working days, just as I came to realize later. Surprising how I still netted more $2m. by retirement. And this is while living in New York!
It has become harder to retire now than in the past. I was saving instead of investing for a very long time, and now I just have about $516k and I don't know how to make it grow, with all the inflation, into something tangible I could retire with. Any ideas?
This video was exactly what I needed. I've spent too long procrastinating by watching tutorials without ever executing on any of my ideas. I need to let go of perfectionism.
After he had promised us no more productivity stuff in his last video.
You’re lucky that you are a very good communicator. Even employees who can communicate well gets promoted at work more than employees who have more experience. Successful business men are good communicators. Your YouTube channel is successful because you communicate very well.
He made this video including ads so he isn't retired.

Very nice video @TechLead! Would be great to see more of these in the future.
This is actually solid financial advice lol and probably the best financial advice summarized in a 10-minute video without all these long, drawn-out answers that these finance/lifestyle gurus feed you on those 2 hour long podcasts rambling on. Thanks TechLead!
