You got it all height looks charisma intellect fitness occupation prestige $120,000 year salary friends and if you feel inadequate I should probably delete myself by this point
He doesn’t have quite enough for the modern woman in America though. His salary needs to get up to 200k+ and somehow grow taller and charisma harder. Also, get into debt on a 100k car.
Hey Donald as an older Asian who has watched a few of your vids. I can say you definitely are saying stuff I can relate to. Funny how people can have same experiences or how life is like a bell curve. However you do have a few unique items particular to your own history. I think if you can find 1 or 2 close buddies or a decent loyal gal most of life will sort itself out. Keep spitting and we’ll keep listening. Beat to you.
Appreciate you my older, wiser asian brother. praying for the right girl to build an empire with. And I hope I can inspire my other asian familias to aspire for the same.
@@donaldkhleeHang in there and put yourself in common interests - whatever they may be. Just do stuff you enjoy that involves others, in local meetups or clubs or little groups. - another older Asian dude who was super introverted in High School, university not much better, and bloomed late. Married in mid-30’s and still married with a few kids decades later. You may not see yourself as a “catch”, but indeed you are!
David Goggins says, "The only comparison you should make, is with the person you were yesterday." I love that mindset and it helps me keep my eyes on my own goals. Any other comparison can be very toxic and not productive. Even if it drives you to excel, it will never be enough. If you put your head down and focus on your own goals, chances are, when you do finally look up and look back, you'll be amazed at how far you've come. You don't win the race by being preoccupied with the person next to you.
Thank you for sharing this. I left my coding job three years ago to pursue my dream of starting an online fitness coaching business. While it’s steadily growing, I’m not yet earning what I used to in my previous role. This has meant cutting back on expenses-living in a rental, no car-while many of my friends seem to be thriving on a completely different level. I genuinely love what I’m doing, but sometimes I feel like I’m falling behind compared to them. Those comparisons can get in my head and momentarily throw me off track.
Sometimes, we have to step back to step 2 steps forward. Thriving is often perspective. We don't know how life is behind closed doors and how many people love their 9-5? I share the same struggle. But if we are not living for our dreams, what are we living for? :) Rooting for you sister!
Thanks! Awww my sweet Brother in Christ you are doing great 🙌 Comparison is the thief of joy. It's so often hard to be joyful when we are waiting but I encourage you to wait well 😊 you may not have all these 'things' but you absolutely have character, a righteous heart and an amazing work ethic. All virtues that can't be bought. Just keep humble (as you already are), work hard, stay handsome (I mean that in the cleanest way lol) and the Lord will send you your Wife and the life you desire. When you do what you can, he ☝️will do what you can't. God bless you and as always I'm praying for you 🙏❤️
God bless my sister! I hope the Lord sends me over your way soon so we can have a meal and worship together. You have a kind and beautiful heart and soul. So glad to know you and always happy to see you in the comments. I am praying that the Lord blesses you in every which way, that He shines His face upon you and give you peace. Thank you for the donation too! I hope it's OK if I send it 100% to the Lord! God bless!
@donaldkhlee Awww, you are too kind and of course you can ❤ May you see God's glory and expanse in your life Donald 😊 no doubt we'll meet in person soon. God bless you 🙏 ❤
the reality is that some of us just dont make it in life even tho we try so hard. sometimes there is no pot of gold at the end of a rainbow for everyone. as long as i can provide a roof over my family head and food on the table i'm content and thank god for what we have.
Instead of buying Tesla…I own Tesla stocks. Instead of ordering from ubereat, door dash, or grubhub I do food delivery part time with them on my bike in nyc while have a full time 6 figures IT job. Am I flexing?
There's a fine line between spending your money wisely and being cheap. Good pick for symbol, TSLA. I hope symbol, NVDA and all the other "Magnificent 7" are in your portfolio. I think deep down your wife appreciates your financial literacy.
As a man thinketh Donald. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Thanks for sharing your walk! Can relate to the “flex” versus just living well below my means. As a prototypical Boomer I started as a poor student and scraped $2K to mail in to a PA-based firm I read about in a magazine - Vanguard. Decades later no regrets about not being able to flex with what was fancy in the late 1980’s (it was a model 3 FWIW). Wish you the best. Katy Parkway looks beautiful!
People still flex on model 3s haha. That is so ballsy, are you really asian haha? But glad to here you took a risk. What is a mail in? Like to get a job? I don't know what that means!
Hi my Asian brother, I'm Chinese now living in CA. 100% same point of view like you, I think it's because we grew up in poor family, my mom's youth years was meatless, they can only afford rice and soy sauce to get through days. So my mom is extremely frugal and me too. Your friend was a good dancer, that's not the type of person to stay single and save money, dancer will have a fancy lifestyle no matter what. it's a miracle he can transition to software like that, it shows you how the tech world is going to have problems and mass layoffs now, people who shouldn't be in got in, in the end the personal skill speaks not the coding probably. When I was in my 20s, the anxiety of fit in the white people and look cool always bothered me, but after I hit 30s, failed some relationships and walking on the NYC streets on my business trip, so insignificant, I found peace. Every life, every mouse on the street, every bacteria, they are just surviving, why would human create all those social norms and discriminations to upset other lives. Investing brings your joy is the same as flashing brings others joy, there are people rock climbing and fall to death, but they were enjoying their entire life other than the last few minutes. Ya we can call them "stupid", but why bother to judge others, whatever makes them happy let them do it, as long as they don't drag you into it. Actually, those spenders are the ones kept the society running, right now in China everyone is fearmongered into society collapse, so most people are preserving their wealth and cut off spending, frugal after covid. It caused the econ crushed and all the shops are closed. No business, no jobs, people even have less money, nobody's gonna buy things, just save save survive, it a death spiral. So thank people who went in debt to keep the banks, the clothing store, the car dealers, the apple store booming, without them we won't have anything in the shopping mall and streets. The moment when everyone starts van life and minimalist, the society is getting close to collapse.
Hahahaha. Thank you for sharing. Indeed, i don't talk about economics on this channel but I understand a lot of it. Stagflation and deflation is what we don't want. It's sad to see some people have to screw their lives for others to win and that boils down to choices. To get the tesla or to invest it in Tesla stock. My parents had the same life. Rice and soy sauce or hoisin sauce. Funny how similar many asian brothers and sisters' parents upbringing were.
@@donaldkhlee Cheers with the soy sauce rice bro lol. Just think about it, the current minimal life we are having in LA, TX. Weather is nice, restaurant and buffet are everywhere, unlimited food next to your house, investments are growing and paying dividend, iPhone is Pro Max, Laptop is MacBookPro or some flagship, or even gaming desktop, have access to the entire database of human knowledge, have access to endless beautiful women (You know what I mean [-_-]), have access to all possible fiction books, have access to all possible fiction videos. You don't even need to lift iron in the fields to feed yourself, so people invented this "gym" to tired the muscle and release some physical energy to prevent their a$$ in the couch from going insane. !!The bare minimum is already 100x better than any King in the entire human history. Why would I care to flash some impulsive purchase to please other people, I'm not gonna out flash others. Why would anyone care about someone else flash things, I mean they can just watch Mr beast if craving for some flash content. When you look above the cloud and see the world in bird's eye, nothing is going to bother you any more.
Peacocking attracts the wrong kind of partner. I earned almost twice as much as my husband when we started dating. We were both financially independent but I rented and he owned his home. My car was financed and his was paid off. I had savings and investments, he didn't. Together we make a great team! Education and experiences are the things I value most because those are the things you never lose. Your investments can depreciate depending on the economy. You can go bankrupt because of a recession. I'm not saying that you shouldn't invest but investment in your life experience is important too.
I can relate to some of the points you have made in your video. However, consider if you had the means to purchase the Tesla to impress your future girlfriend, then I would ask what kind of girlfriend are you seeking? If it was just the car she likes, what values does she posses? I would much rather impress someone with my personality driving a Corolla than material things.
i had a fellow co worker telling me he paid all for his civic type r 50k up car plus he tells us he lives alone. he works the same job as i do. lot guys lifestyle and salary dont add up. its either family money, they made a lot money in his previous job or something else. ontop he doesnt have any skill so more likely it aint his other job. he told me he grinded hard and all. i just listen and nod. lot of nariccist that like to gas light you to make feel low . "oh you just taking the bus"
Live like you are poor so later you can be rich. Those who earn a lot and spend a lot and can make the PAYMENTS are living a fancier life today. If that works for them, great. We aren't promised tomorrow. If we only live for today, we aren't prepared for tomorrow. The degree to which you balance that is up to you.
Tesla car means nothing to after seeing the dropped in value. And if I see coworkers with their new car purchased, I immediately know they're balling. At the end of the day, you just know there are people who continue to rent or delay payment mortgages faster. You want a growing asset , not liability paying more debts.
Tesla doesn't mean you are rich. I got a Tesla, and money, and no GF! Be happy for other people's success and also learn to compete with yourself to create your own goals. Also in America Tesla (at least the Model Y) is the most boring car you can own, its not considered a flex. The more higher end cars that multimillionaire drive are Porsche, Lambos, and Ferraris. For your friend to have a +1M net worth and a Model X, its kind of normal
theres no way one finishing a 3 month bootcamp course and making over 6 figs. i finished a google IT cert and nobody in my group has yet to find a tech support job.he isnt being totally 100 percent with you or something is off. in vancouver theres a lot of immigrants and they are willing to work for lot cheaper and bring the wage down. yes even in the tech industry especially since lot of indians work in tech
You do you. Go eat free food at the Ross St Sikh temple daily or the Burnaby Hare Krishna Temple on Sunday evenings. Learn humility. Try being sporadically employed living on EI and credit cards. You will soon stop caring about Tesla or keeping up with the Wongs and Singhs and be greatful to have food in your stomach and a warm place to sleep daily. You won’t be beating yourself up because you were just shy of earning a six figure income while your friend earned earned 180k. The narrative changes to how can I pay back my Visa card do I give up Roger’s plan to go with a $5.00 a month Freedom Mobile plan 2hr outgoing unlimited incoming with 100MB not GB plan. It’s enough to just take calls for work and answer calls.
You sound bitter bro. There’s no telling what other investments your buddy is involved in. This video is a major cope. Appreciate the vulnerability but at the end of the day your buddy is living a better life, he’s living in his home city, near his loved ones, has a nice car, and a gf, and a high paying job. He’s living in a tier 1 city and if he’s living with this girlfriend perhaps there is a secondary source of income as well. All your feelings are validated. Been there and sometimes still get there. You work hard so you can increase and enhance the quality of your life. Tbh it’s this very outlook in life is why you’re single. It’s just not attractive.
@@donaldkhleeyes it’s tough love. You do this dance where you teeter between being vulnerable, open, admiring to coping, and then also subtly hating at the same time. Sometimes being overly calculated doesn’t work out. This level of frugality and scarcity mindset is not attractive or healthy. Making copious amounts of money is hard. But it’s not impossible. You can invest a reasonable amount into index funds, work a decent paying job, find a partner to enjoy life with, set up a game plan to help grow your future together and suddenly you find yourself living a life of abundance. Finding a partner will take away from your mission? How old are you? If you’re above 30, finding a partner should be a part of the mission to get to your destination sooner. I was born in poverty. Welfare. Only person in my family born in western culture. Married. Multimillion dollar home in a tier 1 city. HHI in the multiple figures per annum. Yes having a solid partner is literally a cheat code being a millennial. Yes I wanted to retire and care for my elderly parents. No I was not lucky by any stretch of the imagination. I envied others. But I put in the work and didn’t spend too much time in the “haters zone”.
Wow I lived in us for long time I'm from cape Breton everyone is poor ha ha but much happier friendlier people I've never felt envy in cape Breton I'm a nurse but just getting by but I didn't have a small house and SUV but still consider myself poor I've had money when I was married but money doesn't make you happy
i had a gf when i didnt have a car and employed in low to mid jon and at times a gf and i was unemployed. if a girl cares about your high value job lol just walk
@@donaldkhlee lol you're delusional, in the first 30 seconds of your last video, you said "I'm going to wait for the dips, find the perfect time to buy""
Seek Jesus today. He is coming to judge the world and he who does not repent of their sins and seek Jesus to get redeemed will be thrown into ever lasting torment for their sins on earth...

@@donaldkhlee all types of ppl
Live like you are poor so later you can be rich. Those who earn a lot and spend a lot and can make the PAYMENTS are living a fancier life today. If that works for them, great. We aren't promised tomorrow. If we only live for today, we aren't prepared for tomorrow. The degree to which you balance that is up to you.
Agreed. I'm the type that spends too much time ruminating about tomorrow that I forget to live in the present. It's my trap. :(
Save and invest the difference. Imagine how much you can have after 20-30 years in stocks. You will attract a quality person without a Tesla.
Facts! Looking at the s&p and putting more coin into that!
Tesla car means nothing to after seeing the dropped in value. And if I see coworkers with their new car purchased, I immediately know they're balling. At the end of the day, you just know there are people who continue to rent or delay payment mortgages faster. You want a growing asset , not liability paying more debts.
100%. They don't hold value as well as 4runners surprisingly. Everyone in Texas wants a 4Runner.
Tesla doesn't mean you are rich. I got a Tesla, and money, and no GF! Be happy for other people's success and also learn to compete with yourself to create your own goals. Also in America Tesla (at least the Model Y) is the most boring car you can own, its not considered a flex. The more higher end cars that multimillionaire drive are Porsche, Lambos, and Ferraris. For your friend to have a +1M net worth and a Model X, its kind of normal
Brian is killing the game. I didn't know that about Porsche, lambos and Ferraris. Not a car guy. Those supercars just seem such a bad investment.
What happened to you being an expert and can time market events to buy all the dips???
Has there been any dips since the carry trade?
theres no way one finishing a 3 month bootcamp course and making over 6 figs. i finished a google IT cert and nobody in my group has yet to find a tech support job.he isnt being totally 100 percent with you or something is off. in vancouver theres a lot of immigrants and they are willing to work for lot cheaper and bring the wage down. yes even in the tech industry especially since lot of indians work in tech
Really? I haven't lived there in a decade, I'm so out of touch.
@@donaldkhlee go to richmond bc
Your brow ridge mogs bro
What that mean lol
Mog is a looksmaxxing / pill that is a black term that means you have a Chadly feature. Good looking dude no homo 👌
i lived in vancouver canada and theres a lot of old money. lot of rich chinese, rich persians and even rich white ppl
Lots of foreign money too. That place going down hill.
299 a month for a new tesla rn
For reals? I still subscribe to $200 BTC per week though. 😂😂
You do you. Go eat free food at the Ross St Sikh temple daily or the Burnaby Hare Krishna Temple on Sunday evenings. Learn humility. Try being sporadically employed living on EI and credit cards. You will soon stop caring about Tesla or keeping up with the Wongs and Singhs and be greatful to have food in your stomach and a warm place to sleep daily. You won’t be beating yourself up because you were just shy of earning a six figure income while your friend earned earned 180k. The narrative changes to how can I pay back my Visa card do I give up Roger’s plan to go with a $5.00 a month Freedom Mobile plan 2hr outgoing unlimited incoming with 100MB not GB plan. It’s enough to just take calls for work and answer calls.
Lol! I love it. You cracked me up at the wongs and singhs! 😂😂😂
I'm not Sikh, but when the church has a cookout. I'm there!
You sound bitter bro. There’s no telling what other investments your buddy is involved in. This video is a major cope. Appreciate the vulnerability but at the end of the day your buddy is living a better life, he’s living in his home city, near his loved ones, has a nice car, and a gf, and a high paying job. He’s living in a tier 1 city and if he’s living with this girlfriend perhaps there is a secondary source of income as well.
All your feelings are validated. Been there and sometimes still get there.
You work hard so you can increase and enhance the quality of your life.
Tbh it’s this very outlook in life is why you’re single. It’s just not attractive.
Is that tough love? lol. Damnnnnnn.
I'm OK with being single though, I think a relationship right now would take away too much time from mission.
@@donaldkhleeyes it’s tough love. You do this dance where you teeter between being vulnerable, open, admiring to coping, and then also subtly hating at the same time.
Sometimes being overly calculated doesn’t work out. This level of frugality and scarcity mindset is not attractive or healthy.
Making copious amounts of money is hard. But it’s not impossible. You can invest a reasonable amount into index funds, work a decent paying job, find a partner to enjoy life with, set up a game plan to help grow your future together and suddenly you find yourself living a life of abundance.
Finding a partner will take away from your mission? How old are you? If you’re above 30, finding a partner should be a part of the mission to get to your destination sooner.
I was born in poverty. Welfare. Only person in my family born in western culture.
Married. Multimillion dollar home in a tier 1 city. HHI in the multiple figures per annum.
Yes having a solid partner is literally a cheat code being a millennial. Yes I wanted to retire and care for my elderly parents.
No I was not lucky by any stretch of the imagination. I envied others. But I put in the work and didn’t spend too much time in the “haters zone”.
Wow I lived in us for long time I'm from cape Breton everyone is poor ha ha but much happier friendlier people I've never felt envy in cape Breton I'm a nurse but just getting by but I didn't have a small house and SUV but still consider myself poor I've had money when I was married but money doesn't make you happy
Typo lol I have house and car
Indeed, money doesn't make you happy. But with a house and a car, you're pretty well off I'd say!
lot rich kids have old money and arent telling you the truth. people arent telling you the whole story.
They never are.
i had a gf when i didnt have a car and employed in low to mid jon and at times a gf and i was unemployed. if a girl cares about your high value job lol just walk
Keep her. Marry her.
Didn't you claim to be able to time the markets buying all the dips? How are you still poor...
No, that's you putting words in my mouth. Buy the dips, not time the dips.
@@donaldkhlee lol you're delusional, in the first 30 seconds of your last video, you said "I'm going to wait for the dips, find the perfect time to buy""
Ngl your brow ridge mogs
I have no idea what that means lol
Seek Jesus today. He is coming to judge the world and he who does not repent of their sins and seek Jesus to get redeemed will be thrown into ever lasting torment for their sins on earth...
Amen! More often I feel so fake in front of the King. And am grateful for his patience and forgiveness.
