👀So what's that big leap you're afraid to take? ► Skip the waitlist and invest in blue-chip art for the very first time by signing up for Masterworks: www.masterworks.art/jeanvoronkova
Hi Jean! If you read this look at my previous comment and to the reply is there.Someone is trying to use your image and channel to scam people. Just giving you the heads up :)
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!... 😉
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!
In the process right now of "shedding the warehouse". 😂 Hallelujah! 🎉 Marie Kondo truly saved my life.
I'm also headed to Asia! My specific mission is still unknown, but I think the traveling will give me some insight. Thank you for the inspiration. :)
Jean if you're not careful, you will make a whole bunch of us quit our jobs! :D
😅
Everyone has a different situation....you cannot advise eryone to quit their job early....agree be careful on giving unsolicited advise.
Quit boring job and shift to enjoyable job
She’s one of several influencers who led me to quit my “safe” engineering job. I’m doing okay.
I will be retiring this year at 61 and I feel like it’s going to be great. I will be checking out Bali as a destination first. I have been hearing that costs in Bali have doubled in the past year. It’s hard to judge how much money you will need in 10 yrs from now
Jean, you should get into creating sleep ASMR’s. Please will love to hear you speak calmly, with all that positivity, and sleep peacefully!
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 TH-cam 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.
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
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.
I was just gonna ask the same thing - how can you do that if you have children?? Like their education etc….
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! 😊
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!
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.
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.
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 am in the last stage of selling my home and then quitting my job. Who knows in 6 months or less if you see a guy frantically waving that will be me
How have things been?
The fear or being alone and feeling like a failure is really my two main barrier that stops me from doing what I really want. Thank you for bringing it up. At least I know I'm not the only one feeling like that. How did you deal with those feelings?
By the way, I love your content. I just found your channel today, and I'm already a subscriber ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience Jean appreciate your insights 🙏😊
I'm always impressed by your genuinity and the calm sharing of your message and story to the world.
You're a real treat to everyone in your physical and digital world. I'm glad you have made this youtube channel and the universe has rewarded you generously for following your heart.
wow that's very kind of you Him Cheung :) thank you for tuning in i really appreciate it
Thank you Jean , i really needed to hear this ☺
yes guys , just leap. the universe will help you . follow your heart , do what you like best and be the best at it . monetary rewards will follow
Wow - I really needed this video ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 and greetings from Germany
Love it Jean. Nice work 🙏
thank you for this encouraging message, i feel it is time that i have to dare to take a new leap.. thank you for your supportive content ☺😘✨
Great video, building something of your own takes a little time, but the rewards are definitely worth it, and everything you learn along the way. Taking my walking tour channel on the road to SE Asia later this year, and can't wait. Thanks for the helpful info and the inspiration! 😊🥰👍
Thank you for this video...
You are a leader!
While most people are obsessed with big homes and consumerism you lead people the other way
Jean! Dying to meet you. Your videos are the only things keeping me going on each day on this hamster wheel. Hoping to take the leap
Hello Jean ! 👋
Thank you for your good advice ! 😁
Maybe I'll try. 😉
Have a wonderful day !
Very inspiring video! I love how you explain the pros and cons, and how you prepare in mitigating the cons which you eventually work it out. I'm about to take that leap, and hoping it will turn out well soon!
Love your videos as they inspire me. Wish I had seen this when I was in my 20s. I’m 52 now and I need a change in my life.
tks Jean for this topic that you have just spoken
I love how your sponsors totally make sense for your content! I love your videos ❤
❤thanks a lot for the knowledge shared,😊
That was a beautiful video and well needed for the upcoming decisions of my life, I just wanted to say thank you.
Seeing you talking about such important matters with a peace of mind is mesmerizing!
P.S: the reference to 'the road not taken' is a nice touch, I've been pondering it a lot lately, the road less taken doesn't always mean trouble. Keep it up!
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. Jean you are a great advisor in my opinion sweetheart. Have a wonderful week ahead Jean.
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.
I would love to visit Bali someday. I have traveled some in my life and enjoy it. Spent some time in the Philippines and Israel and some time in Europe. So fun to see the world 🌍. Bless you. Dave
Jean, I recently found your videos and have found them extremely inspiring. I love how you go into details that many other videos do not. You seem to be at peace with life, and I hope to get there too. Ready to leave my job and start anew, but am still afraid. I recently spent a month in Taiwan and absolutely loved it. Maybe if I watch some more of your videos, I will get up to the courage to leave and start fresh. Thank you for these videos. Keep them coming
Hey Craig, thanks for the note of encouragement I am really appreciative and am glad they provide a resource for you in preparation for the big move! I didn’t have access to such stuff back when I was doing mine so I’m happy I can help those who r similarly looking for an out to a different way of life that suits them more 🤗 I lived in Taipei for a few months before it was really nice! Good luck w the planning!
Thank u for this timely video! Love it!! I'm about to make a considerable leap into something very crazy n unconventional but a little worried about the unknown unknowns although I had done lots of homework. However, I know one thing for sure is that I will regret the rest of my life if I don't do this now. Let's go!! 🚀
Great video! It's inspiring to hear stories of people who have taken the leap and pursued their dreams. Sometimes it can be scary to take risks, but it's often necessary in order to achieve our goals.
I love your calm voice and videos
thank you :) much appreciated
Thanks 🙏🏼 😊
This is extremely inspirational, thank you for sharing! I love how practical and honest this video is. ❣
So glad you found it helpful!
So much good pointers collated into one short video. Thanks for sharing.
cheers I'm sog lad you found it helpful!
I'm at Bangkok now and the weather is terrible. Happy to come to cold weather soon 🔜 again.
You are a Master of Inspiration! This one video alone has fixed so many broken moments I have had. I am speechless. You have a gift. You have a gift. Thank you.
thanks a lot, i'm just happy you found the video helpful. it was a watershed realization for me :)
Brilliant as always. If I keep listening, I might actually take that leap! Thank-you ❤
lol might be an amazing life adventure :p why not
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
A beautiful lady who makes sense 😊
Life has a Happy Ending for almost all of us. When the body goes to sleep our Soul 💞 moves of with God, Friends and family for eternity. We are living in Eternity right now Jean, isn't that Cool 😎. Best Dave
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
Very smart 👍
Thank you 👍
Молодец! I can't agree with you more! I have 2 kids that don't share my crazy dreams of nomad life (we tried), so I have to adjust my "leap" for another 8 years. Thank you 🤗
wow... the sacrifices a mom makes.... respect and hats off to you Hanna... and good luck with achieving your dream life eventually xo
@@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.
Hello my friend 👋😊! A good little video, clear thinking, making that jump logically explained 👩🏼🤝👨🏻🏄♀️ 🛵 🖼️ 🏡 🌊☀️ “Prows’ low the ‘cons’ out the water” !! I like it 👍 ! Best wishes, Don 👋
thanks Don, appreciate you always stopping by
I took my leap in 2002 from UK Europe to Sudan Africa. Now I live in a village with my tribal wife and two children for 19 years.
Children, 11 & 8 yes old, are black belt Karate and looking for Chinese and Kung fu teacher in Khartoum Sudan. Both are professional swimmers and tennis players.
Success 🙌 is piece of mind knowing, I have done my best 👌 👍 😍
I am happy sleeping among 😴 😌 ☺️ chicken goats 🐐 cow 🐄 camel 🐫 😋 simple and light. Face my fear and make piece with my fear 😨 😟
Wow hey that’s an amazing life story thank you so much for sharing something so personal. Your kids n your newfound life in Sudan sound awesome! I’m so glad you leapt and it worked out for you too. Unimaginable rewards must definitely include sleeping with goats under the stars 😍
Yes Madam. With low income in the last 20 years
I have already supported my

Happiness 😊 is all about giving not taking.
Success 🙌 is piece of mind in knowing, I have done my 👌 👍 😍
Hi Jean, as usual your videos are amazing. We are starting our new life starting March 27th, leaving the home and traveling for next few years. We are landing in Bali on 3/29. I want to know few things, where do you live,? where should we live? we have booked the hotel in Kuta for first 5 days but wanted to know where should we move to as we like touristy areas for first few days and then settle down. Please help, thanks
Great advice..Going to retire in September at 60…
You can do it! Best of luck!
I could listen to you speak all day everyday. Your voice and speech pattern is very soothing. Your beauty, grace & intellect are a rarity. If you every decide you need a 2nd husband I'd happily volunteer. 🤭. I am considering relocating abroad myself to start a new life after a bad divorce & just things not going well for my life.
I love how calming your videos are with your nice music! What type of microphone do you use?
Hey Lisa! we use Rode Wireless Go II i believe
You are 🧁 sweet Jean. God 🙏 is crazy about you. The NDE,s tell us this. People from the other side tell us God's love feels amazing. I did Bikrams hot 🔥🥵 yoga. That was intense. Lol. I'm 64 now that was about 10 ten years ago. Best to you, Dave
You are my inspiration. Hopefully to get out of the rat race soon
thank you! I'm sure you'll find a way to drive towards your goal with clarity and focus and planning.
140k! Good to see those subs numbers moving up.
Thank u for this kind support Tony it’s much appreciated 🤗😍
Tidak pernah bosan nnton😊🙏
Watching your videos always inspire me towards my future desired states. Still on the hamster wheel with 6 more years to go. I tried preparing for my future state in the interim - wakeboarding, jujitsu. Gym, running and spending lots of time with family. Pipeline is enrolling in surf school in Bali next June and going snowboarding end of this year. Soon, in 6 years’ time. I will be able to live off the dividends from my investment without a care in the world and continue in my life’s pursuit. Looking forward daily to this day.
You know my plans Jean, year off starts in July (17 weeks to go) Bali, Phillipines, Vietnamn, Malaysia, Cambodia 👍👍
Make that year become “the rest of your life off“ 😉
@@mcb00m That is my plan 👍👍
Good stuff, Jean! Just no complaining when you tons of new expat neighbors who followed your advice.😂
Jean as always thank you for your insights. I have a question about visas for Filipino passport holders. Long term not the 30 day. can you advise how to do it ? I read the site online but so confusing. Thank you Ron
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.
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 TH-cam 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.
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.
Eventually, the risk of staying outweigh the risk of the unknown - so yes, it's only logical to take the leap!
totally agree yes
Hi, Jean, you are just great, beautiful !
Another great video Jean! I retired a little early and had to weigh the financial adjustments this caused. I have no regrets and no longer think of the small price I paid for freedom.
I love this, we are in this process. When you leaped, did u have savings?
Mine was a leap borne of desperation so not much savings at the point of leaping no! I checked in about 2 years post leap and had about SG$30k in the bank cash. But all the life lessons in the struggle was worth it in the end 🥰✌🏼
Hello Jean I have just retired and get a good Military Pension from Veteran Affairs I separated and our house was sold I have a good savings and I am considering moving to Bali to live do you have any advice for me such as buying a house and in what area would you suggest?
from a buddhist perspective. It is about your attachments. You suffer about that there will be change.
which any one over 25 knows ; change is going to happen anyways. You do not have to travel somewhere else. you just need to begin to be grateful for what is present in your life. if there is no big downside; go ahead and accept the adventure.
Attitude of Gratitude is definitely one of the finer things in life to arm oneself with
I've been biding my time for many years, I'm on the home stretch.
Awesome video 😎
Thanks Shakey it's been a while! 😁
I took Huge Leap and Retired 🎉 I am 61 but was Always tired becuz I work 3rd shift 11pm-730am. I retired, will begin receiving Pension and then possibly return to work Part-time in late Fall until late Spring and then may retire next year and take Soc Sec ? This is like long vaca Trial Retirement?
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?
my children are in their early 30s. i told myself, NOW! I don't need much. I'm already 'enough' because I need less than I need :)
I need to take that leap soon very soon.
all the best!
ships are safer in a port; but that is not what ships are for.
good analogy
😍😍😍
How to message you😍
🎉🙌✌🏻Yay!
oh hey you! Thanks! Had a heart attack earlier when understood that video got cut off 3 minutes prematurely lol!
Hi Jean,, you are very inspiring,, i have a child, waiting for her to be independent before i make the leap,, (is that an excuse?)
I stuck at my corporate job. Now I work a few hours a month and make the same as i did working full time. (At home) I dont worry about becoming a “loser” . I wonder if she had stuck around and managed her corporate job better - she may have FIRE but not be confined to what is now expensive Bali populated by draft dodgers.
Perhaps it wd hv been possible for some. But I hated being a lawyer no matter how much the pay was so the happiest thing I ever did for myself was ditching that job - no regrets there!
Wow 29. I needed until 38🙈
And still not established just floating 😋
Everything you have mentioned is about doing something good for yourself and you encourage others to do the same. The question is: Who should be doing things to help others? How would this world become a better place if everything we do is for ourselves and for ourselves only? As you know, Bali is not the entirely world. I am sure you have heard about the earthquake in Turkey.
Oh please. We contribute to our families and community around us, including helping the poor here and esp the doggies. If we left we wd be missed I assure u. I just don’t plaster all this up all over SM. What for? To prove myself to the likes of people like you? Most of us r good ppl who do good for the people around us. And my heart goes out to the ppl in Turkey, but everywhere around the world including here in Bali there r also others struggling whom I can help directly n immediately. I’ll leave saving the world to you. Please let me know what fantastic measures is it you do to save the world btw, since everyday I wake up I don’t quite see a world saved.
@@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. 😊
yassssss
hehe thanks Justin... in case you were watching the earlier and wanna pick up where you left off.... skip to the 9:02 mark hehe!
@@JeanVoronkova Hi jean,
Thank you for taking the time to reply me! I really find your perspective really interesting and liberating
I am currently about to enter uni and I think I would be pursuing conventional career options for their financial safety and job security
I guess I’ll wait and see if it works out for me ….
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 ?
In her defence, those were much cheaper back then lol
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.
@@JeanVoronkova I see. if so I really admire how you persuit your dream. Watching your video inspires me a lot.
yey
Some envy you but I don't B cos 1.too much sunshine 2.❤️ cool... luxurious things.. BBQ boys /girls - tak suka. 😁
Very nice video Jean! As usual! It is official. I arrive in Bali May 13th for six weeks. Hope to you all you! Thank you!
oooh wow congrats!!!! That's really soon! you're gonna have a blast! Do me a favor and definitely don't spend all your time immersed in Canggu/Ubud/Seminyak! Spend some time in Uluwatu and other areas like Kintamani/Sidemen/Bedugul/Amed/Lovina etc!
@@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.
But what about retirement fund 😢
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 thanks for replying 😃 actually what I meant was Singapore’s “retirement fund”.. but issit u alr renounce ur citizenship?
Wonderful content and perspectives. Thank you. I wish you had not used Masterworks as your sponsor. It detracts from your credibility. I realise it's a difficult balance, but your message purity is diluted with sponsors like this.
Hi Mel, I appreciate your note. I'm aware Masterworks is doing something very new and rather revolutionary, but might you care to share why you're so down on them?
on a side note though, thanks I'm glad you found the video sensible!
@Jean Voronkova Hi, There's a TH-cam episode by 'the plain bagel' on Master Works. He highlights the lack of regulation and speculative nature of this investing format.
Just wondering if you could have done this if you had kids !!
i have only a furkid here in Bali, but plenty others are here with their children. It's of course doable. Just depends on the individuals involved really.
@@JeanVoronkova hey can I get your WhatsApp no !! Planning to visit bali this June with my wife !! Might pay a visit to your place!! 😂 I hav also gave a connect request in LinkedIn 🤭
FYI MASTER WORKS SHOULD NOT BE PROMOTED WITHOUT FULLY DISCLOSING THE COSTS, FEES AND RISKS. BORDERLINE SCAM THAT DON'T FIT THIS CREDIBLE CHANNEL
Hi, in the description below the Masterworks link there's a further link to all disclosures and caveats, as with all investment platforms! I appreciate the qualification in your comment about the credibility of my vidoes - thanks, but can you kindly share more about why you see MW as a borderline scam? The art works and sale thereof are legit.
Nice to see you let go of the nay sayer's. Hopefully they will get there in there own God 🙏 givien time like the red of us.
👍👍👍👍
thanks!
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
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.
@@JeanVoronkova Facts!!
sigh. not everyone has parents who stay in a 3 storey+ landed house that you can look to as an inheritance safety net, jean. stop selling retirement porn.
no one is saying that you're depending on your parents' money for your current lifestyle. the fact is that you have a HUGE safety net if anything goes wrong, and a lot of people don't have that luxury.
Coward!
...but you're still working, creating content, paying rent, learning from Dr Google because you don't have healthcare, spruiking advertorials, ...seems much like work to me, lol.
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 Your dad is blessed with good health. I wish for you and your partner only good luck in reaching your own financial goals. Is the plan to retire in Bali, seems very nice lifestyle, or move back to your home country to retire?
@@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.
12:15 "And here is that really big 'butt'".... hahaha. Yes I am easily amused
