    You did have a plan. You planned to spend your time on TH-cam and you did have some idea that you could make it because you had been doing it. At the age of 40 and 42 my husband and I started our own business. He had worked in the corporate world in management and hated every minute of it for 20 years. I was a stay at home mom so his income was our only income. When he lost his job due to the company closing we made the decision to never go back to that again. For 20 years we had lived below our means and saved money. That is want allowed us to start our own business. It does take time. For 2 years we lived below the poverty level and put our savings into the business. We never made a lot of money but we ran that business for 25 years and raised 3 children on it. Our advertising was word of mouth and people loved us. Our business was unique and there was no one like us in the whole country. Another ambition my husband had was to be a writer. In 2009 his first and only book was published ( he died in 2010) and it is still selling on Amazon.

      That was me a couple yrs back , Best advice is try not to get in debt , eliminate all the bad debt you have. Live on less than you make and always pay yourself first. And last try to get a better paying job and put 10% of your income on a good dividend growth stock for your retirement , For example ETF SCHD .. Honestly it changed my life , I am a 32 yr old Husband and father of 4 and my wife its a stay at home mom. And i made it happened. You can do it too my friend🙏🏽💯💪🏽💪🏽 Hope this helps 🤝🏽

    I quit my corporate engineering job after 20 years and did a career change with a 50% paycut at age 40.....three years later NO REGRETS AT ALL! Best decision career wise I'll be honest.
    Everyone tells me how much happier, laid back and younger I feel.....I no longer think about work outside of work hours.
    Its scary to jump like everything in life... but it's also amazing how easily we adapt in life when we force ourselves....

    Love your videos. This one has inspired me a lot. Iv been trying to figure out what I want to do and used to do TH-cam a long time ago (my main one I lost the password to log in and can't ever seem to retrieve it) and you reminded me how much I used to enjoy doing the content. It wasn't ever to gain anything except to share things and enjoy experiences... eventually life took over being an "adult" and working shit jobs and my passion got lost. I also gained lots of weight due to health issues and felt too self conscious to be on film. I'm making a huge effort to lose it and save my health and I'm wondering if I can be brave enough to try it all over again...

    As soon as you dare to become self employed or do something different, haters 'gon hate. I became self employed and crikey, the assumptions, judgments, criticisms. My response is that if its so easy and you're going to make so much money, why haven't you done it yourself? Generally people trip over their fear and lack of courage, but choose to criticise others instead who took the plunge. Good on you El Augustino. Keep up the good work. I love your videos.
