I'm 21 and far too poor to put myself through a trade school or college, I have no idea what to do as I currently earn as much as I can with unskilled labor, all I can do is once again pick up a second job and burn myself out. I'm at a loss on how to earn enough money to start living, can anyone give me a point in the right direction?
I’m in the same position but 23, my advice would be to learn an online skill that pays in the long term and just get good at it with consistency. Online income is the only solution to a liveable lifestyle.
It can be done, and don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Friend of mine left her corporate job after lockdown and started as a home help. One day her client was stressing about his lawn needing cutting, so she said "I'll do it for you", and it turned out many of her other clients wanted the same. She started the garden maintenance business as well as the home help business and slowly built her client base. She's pulling £8k a month by herself, and my mum is one of her satisfied clients! She's got to the point where she could take on staff. Another friend on mine started a window cleaning business - without a van! He literally walked up and down the road with his ladder and bucket. Now he has 12 vans and his clients include McDonalds. When I was in Thailand a girlfriend of mine asked me for some help with a spreadsheet she was working on - she wanted to find an easy way to get client details out of the spreadsheet and create mailing lists. I wrote a simple script in Python to automate it, and that turned into a 4k/month side hustle. My son was a aircon labourer - he knocked holes in walls for a living since he was 18. At 24, he realized it was a dead end, did a Google nano-degree (for free) and became a JS developer 9 months later. He know earns £150k+ a year as an engineering manager in a crypto company. He went from minimum was to 150k in about 5 years. I could go on with countless examples. The bottom line is depends on you, your skills and interests, hard work, putting the customer first, and having some decent manners. p.s. if you do take the second job route put a time limit on it. I know someone who worked two jobs for five years but saved enough for a small investment property and that now funds his new life in Thailand. All the best!

Daryl - everything you say is true. My personal fear about the UK is now around freedom of speech and civil liberties. This is how the rise of the Nazis and Stasi started - arresting and jailing people for personal opinions, "wrong speech" and filming a few minutes of riots. Add to this the cost of living - one example, we had to rent a small van for a day to collect and deliver some personal stuff from one flat to another, return it by 17:00. Cost us £170. The profligate spending of our taxpayers' money is beyond shocking. We're leaving early next year. Unfortunately we're stuck at the moment looking after my brother (possibly vaxxine damaged). As soon as we get him settled we're leaving.
There was a reason why William Penn left the UK. He was from a wealthy privileged family but had no freedom of religion , the King of England controlled freedom of religion and everything else people did in that time period.
I find your journey so interesting and really do wish the best for you. I'm currently In the UK working for the NHS and have no prospects of being able to buy a house here due to cost of living and have such an uncertain future it makes me wonder whether I need to move abroad to make a life for myself somewhere else.
Big respect for being in the NHS bro, but it's a shame that the UK gov are letting the NHS crumble. You should take your skills elsewhere for better pay and lifestyle......Australia
hey mate/ great to see ya your vid . I'm Malaysian here.. mixed feelings here.. my dad sold our flat many years back so that he afford to send me to study in the UK to earn a degree. now I got a quite a decent job here back in KL .. shame to know what happened back to UK.. when I was in UK.. I remember I really couldn't afford to dine in, my usual routines was buying bread and tomatoes in Aldi, pack it as sandwiches for lunch.. doing some own cooking at night.. when I back to my home country, it's literally we dine out everyday for 3 meals ... and I remember how expensive it was visiting barber, even getting a pair of spectacle, let alone visiting spa or massage. how difficult it was to visit a doctor... what you said it's absolutely right... what a blessed I live in this country now.. have a great time in KL mate.. .
I admire what you’re doing. It takes courage to step out of the swirling whirlpool that is the UK and explore other options in South East Asia. Apart from the UK, the rest of Europe is being flushed down the toilet as well.
You are right uk is finished. I have been spending 4 or 5 months of every year in South East Asia. Will be retiring permanently as soon as everything is tied up here before I leave.Cambodia is normally my base and will visit Thailand Vietnam and Philippines as well. Never been to Malaysia so will check it out on my next visit early next year. Enjoying your videos and bet you are grateful you are out of the UK
@@graemehubbard2053 Labour have ruined the UK they are only in it for themselves by taxing everyone including the farmers. Get out to the Philippines have been there about 14 times since 2012. Wishing you the best for the future in Asia
You sound happier. I just discovered your channel and listened to two of your videos when you were talking about leaving England. You were very “down”. You have a new bounce in your step now. Good luck!
I am fully open minded to learning and seeing! Infeel like you’ve moved forward in body and now move forward in spirit and show us the real learning … new horizons, new spaces, economies, new learning real comparisons authentic improvements
Can you please do a video with advice on what jobs you can do as an expat? How to find jobs in SE Asia etc. All you ever do is paddle around a swimming pool talking about how cheap KL is. Can you give some actual practical advice? You're weirdly evasive about your own employment but you could give the viewer some general insight on opportunities in SEA and visas etc.
Take a look how KL looks at the ground floor, not only from that top floor pool. You can do better at his age. At his age on minimum wage in Uk damn. And he complain about the country. With minimum wage in KL you will not afford to take the elevator to floor 5 on that 30 floors building 😂😂.
I'm eager to find out what he does, too. I'm in Thailand and most are reaching English at schools, working for remote employers or have their own online business. For the latter, you'll have visa problems if you want to stay in one place long term, unless you're making a lot of money.
I'm glad it had all worked out for you since leaving the UK. I'm definitely planning to do the same next year and plan to apply for the Thailand DTV visa. Nothing for me here. Can't wait to leave, to be honest.
income tax 20%, national insurance 9%, employers national insurance 15% =44% employers national insurance is taken into acount when they offer you a job. money they would otherwise have given straight to you/ so before you have any pay, youre at almost 50% tax. then you buy something, 20% of whats left is VAT. if its fuel, then its a lot higher thanks to fuel duty. same with electricity to keep your house going. Life is getting harder and harder. I was going to wait for my daughter to leave school before i left the UK (3 years) , now im not sure I will get that far. Best of luck mate, I really hope things work out for you and I will follow along on your journey.

You are very wise, many people still think the UK is a good prosperous country, we are taxed 3 times and even on the minimum wage you are taxed at 43%, and between 100k and 125k you are taxed at 77%, when combined the 3 taxes you have to pay that go to the government. We get the most basic public services back from all that tax too. But we do spend all our tax money funding wars for US gas and energy corporations across the world, and our governments are forced to do that being subservient to the USA. Best to go to countries that are free and not controlled by the failing USA.

You are absolutely spot on mate! Fair play to you for leaving. Yes, the hotel where the migrants have been put in is Altrincham. You couldn’t make it up could you.
He said in this video his income is small and not enough to live in the UK on. That means he's making barely any money, so presumably the wrong man to ask about income streams.
He is also gaming the system, by using the strong pound / Euro in a developing country. His buying power is that of a millionaire. These people over there will never have enough money to live in a hotel with infinity pool. Nonetheless, he is right about everything else he said.
@WilliamBrwn This isn't really gaming the system, if something goes wrong with his youtube he's screwed. no one should be advised to move countries unless they have a real job in place.
Can you give any details on prices, and job opportunities? Liking the vidoes, but i can watch any video to see what the weather and shops are like. What's the rent per month in british pounds? Are there any fees? What kind of skills/trade would be good to have to get a job there, what tradesman do they need? Are there any wildlife that are dangerous? Things like that would be great to know. Thanks.
