So I've been getting a lot of comments that I should return back to Thailand and teach English but here's the straight numbers and the actual reality if you're also considering this option as well. I made only about 500 USD teaching English part time. If I get a full time job I can realistically expect to make around 1K USD but that probably means I'll be giving up Youtube which I currently make around 100 USD but my Patreons also donate 200 USD. When you look at it this way maybe it'll make sense why I am not motivated to go back and teach English. Youtubing part time and teaching English part time had me making a little less than 1K, but if I worked full time I still wouldn't be making much more and English teaching is as much of a dead end job as you can get. It's also highly susceptible to automation in the future. After I spend time with my parents I have a decision to make. Honestly, none of the financial options in Thailand are attractive as you should all know 1K USD isn't any more of a financial stability over 800USD. Going to America is almost not an option either as it would most likely mean I am breaking up with Mayu and I'd be living paycheck to paycheck anyways. It's a decision I am certain I'd regret in the long term dying lonely alone while my family is in Korea and my heart is in Thailand. Why I considered part time jobs in Korea is because if I could theoretically make as much as I did in Thailand over a few months. I could than really focus on Youtubing when I am in Thailand and bring the videos that you guys have been asking for such as complete guides which requires a lot more time than 2 days a week to consistently make and edit. if I am working part time, that's 3 days I am working and another 2 to rest, take care of issues, shop, spend time with Mayu etc so Youtubing had to take second place at times. Recently I had 4 Patreons come on board to support me for an additional 50 USD in donations. At this point I am thinking if I can make it to around 500 in total revenue I'll just Youtube full time and go where my Patreons want me to cover. Hopefully this gives you better insight into the choices I am considering. There are of course additional personal, health, financial, and legal reasons to consider but even based on just the hard income numbers what would you do? I am leaning toward just working a bit harder to bring my Youtube revenue up and focus all my effort into something I love doing which is bringing you guys an honest realistic perspective of living in Asia since financial security isn't really a short term option for me anyways. What the hell is financial security anyways? We'll all die if we catch a disease no matter how much money we have and we only have one life to live. Might as well live it the way we want. I hope you enjoy the upcoming series and my 3 times a week upload schedule. And the best support I can get is you continuing to watch my videos, liking it, and commenting even just to say hi because it'll bring me one step closer living the dream :)
