Hi Mergim, I took your advice and quit my job with just $3000 in the bank. I'm abit gutted that the actual cost of living in Thailand had used up almost half my savings in just 1 month, I really thought it would last "atleast" 12 months like you mentioned but I really should have known $3000 wouldn't last a year living in Thailand. Joking, get a grip what BS is this. 🤔
So you're saying if we had $3,000 that would be enough to last about 2 years in Thailand for us to be able to let us generate enough monthly income to live off making TH-cam videos? How long did it take making TH-cam videos and how many subscribers before you had enough monthly income to sustain your lifestyle?
Someone looking to live off passive income, they’d need around 40 million baht invested to generate 100,000 baht per month. This assumes a 3% withdrawal rate.
He's lost the plot with this one, so you spend the 2 or 3,000 living aboard, and then what at some point you're going to run out of money so you then have to beg friends and family to buy you a ticket back home. You then have no money to get a place as you have zero money for a deposit and rent. So baslicly this video should be called how to come homeless in less than a year. I think he needs to get a full time job to pull his back into the real world or at least pull him back to reality. Please do not follow his advice !!!!!!!
A lot of people like yourself are missing the point of the video. I’m targeting people in their 20s who are allowing their employer to waste their youth by trading their time for a crappy salary in a place they dont want to be, when instead they could be out here in asia figuring it out just like i did, working on whatever online business/job they could have created, but instead they listened to people like you who convinced them not to. And now they’re stuck in a vicious repetitive cycle back at home, watching ME behind a TV/computer screen enjoying my life in Asia just like you are. Remember Fortune favors the brave 😉
@@MergimVlogsYT In this video you've also touched on diversifying your income streams. Sounds like you've put in some extra work behind the scenes where you're not aiming to be broke gallivanting around the countrysides. I don't know why these commenters assume you're saying quit your 9-5 and just travel. I'm an expat. I subscribed when I moved to Philippines (Makati area) to do my consultant role. TBH, even though we never met in person, you're videos helped me explore areas I would never have found on my day off and your videos were entertainment for me. PH was a good base country as it was close to other countries in SEA you could literally do a very busy day trip (HK, KL, SG). I've since used my role in PH, pivoted my career and moved to another country in SEA, again in an Expat role in a company. I immerse myself in culture and luxuries I would never have afforded back in my home country. I'd be interested in your other income streams and how you manage your day to day.
@@MergimVlogsYTbut not everyone has all the privilege like you do to do it. So yea, your advice is out of touch. Of course some have no choice but to be stucked in their jobs because it's hard to find a job in today's economy.
You're too young to be moving to Thailand permanently, if I have to retire which in my early 50's now, I need to have at least $3K of monthly pension plus another $100K of extra savings for emergency. That won't happen until late 2025 or early 2026 to be living in Thailand for good.
I just have to laugh at some of the nonsense comments For one, yes Mergim's subscribers did shoot up dramatically once he started living in the Philippines But, you know what? He did a fantastic job showcasing BGC. We learnt so much from it, and it's honestly so much better than I am sorry - some of the Filipino Real Estate Brokers or sellers out there. Mergim was honest, straight to the point and his Vlogs were well executed, especially for those that are wanting and learning to buy or rent property in BGC and Manila. I have watched so many other Filipino/na Real Estate brokers TH-cam channels and it's honestly all (sorry a majority lol) cringe worthy and lacks crucial information, like its almost like all scams for the foreigners that want to live there! Mergim was a bloody good unauthorised Real Estate agent for BGC in my opinion. Filipinos could actually learn from how the way he presented the condos to sell the outrageous overpriced properties LOL And this is how is he treated by the salty viewers? Like he is suppose to stay in BGC forever,,, because he owes his Filipinos subscribers to keep Vlogging in the Philippines? Good riddance Mergim, thank you, and enjoy your reward in Thailand after living the Philippines
He is originally from Thailand. He just moved to Philippines since he earned a lot of money back then. After a while, his vlog was not gaining anymore so he moved back to his Thailand.
@ I’m wondering what she preferred the Philippines BGC area or his home country Thailand ? I’m considering moving to the Philippines or Thailand and I would like some advice which is more better
3k is what I make in 3 business days, based on my annual salary. What’s the big deal?! A lot of people in the western world make that in LESS than a day!! It doesn’t take long to save up for that small amount. Plus, for employees like us who can work remotely… his advice is smart & wise! Life is short!
I get why everyone is freaking out over Mergim’s suggestion but what he’s trying to say if you’re sick of slaving away your life,time & energy for someone or something you don’t like than you can work for yourself remotely (AKA Digital Nomad) building income to live a comfortable lifestyle in Asia and you can get there for 3 grand to start out. But you must have a skill and be diligent to be successful.
@ it’s great advice if you can understand what he’s trying to send as a message. If you read my interpretation above what he was trying to communicate, you would also understand.
Other people's opinions don't matter Mergim, focus on your happiness, so live your life to the fullest and be an inspiration to others. Take care and God bless. 😊
everything at thailand is so perfect looking, great taste in design, spacious, natural, simple. less crowded. if i could move out from the philippines and just totally live there i would.
You got a master's degree?! My undergrad ass will never make it there T__T Honestly, I am already 20, yet I have no idea what I want to be after I graduate. I contemplated on either being a barista since I have a passion for coffee or maybe even do TH-cam, yet I don't have a platform or an idea of what sort of content I want to do. Honestly wish I can just guarantee myself luxury already, but the hard part is to work hard to get it, which what I am doing yet I don't like it...
Get married to a good man. But if marriage is off the table, take customer service, leadership and management training courses and build a career in the service industry. You can always switch careers later on, if need be.

There are successful Thailand channels that target those outside Thailand who are interested in and/or looking to move to Thailand. I also heard that if your audience is in richer countries, you make more from your ads.

"quit your job!" wow what an advice 🤣🤡

Just quit your job and figure it out when you get there. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Usually most western people prefer to live in Asia due to its low cost of living, fair weather and warm people, unlike in their countries 😊
Thank you for your philosophizing.

Should not be using Koh Samui as the example, or back drop, here - one of the more touristy / expensive islands. -
