39:29 Share

Hello, hello, hello, my dear listeners. As you may or may not know, my husband, Carl, and I have a new YouTube series on the BiggerPocketsMoney YouTube channel called Life After Fire. And as a very special bonus, we're going to be airing episodes here on the podcast on Wednesdays. Without further ado, let's get into it.

We are so excited to slow down today. We are joined by the financial tortoise, Tay Kim, and we are so excited to chat through the lead up to Tay achieving financial independence and what life has looked like for him afterwards. Let's get into it.

Hi there. I'm Mindy Jensen. And I think I'm Carl Jensen. You think? This is the Mindy. And Carl. He thinks on Life After Fire, where we talk about what happens after you reach financial independence. Why do we call the show Life After Fire? Because we're talking about and talking to people who are living their best life after reaching financial independence. We also want to shout out to our listeners who may have come to know this series as the Living a Fi Life series. We're

we are changing the name of the series to Life After Fire. Unbeknownst to us, there was another creator named Justin who had started a blog with the same name. So if you are interested in following his story, please go check him out at Living A Fi Life and he spells fi F-I-G-H, like hi, but with an F. Thank you so much for joining us today, Tay Kim. How are you doing today? I'm well. Thank you guys for having me. I

want to jump right into it and get a little bit of an overview of your story. What was your profession before you retired? And how long did it take you to reach retirement once you discovered the concept of financial independence? I was a finance director for about 10 years. So this is in any corporation, pretty typical role, you have the finance department,

So, my role was financial forecast, projections, budgets. So, in any company, you know, whenever the budgeting season comes around, you have that guy that comes around and says, "Hey, you can't spend that." Or like, "Hey, what are you projecting for your sales this year? Let's see if we can increase that." So, I was that pesky guy that used to go around everyone's office and nobody was looking forward to having a meeting with me.

I did that for about 10 years. Before that, I... So I got my MBA and...

My pathway was like I wanted to become a CFO one day. Like that was kind of like my aspiration coming out of business school. So that was the path that I went towards. I, you know, like I decided that I wanted to, you know, become an expert in financial projections, just budgeting and all of that stuff within the corporate world. I did that for about 10 years. And then I think maybe, you know, about halfway through, you know,

your goals change because your life circumstances change. So once my wife and I, we had kids, we started to give ourselves permission to ask like, hey, that initial plan that we set out when we're 30, you know, now that we're, you know, in our mid 30s, we're getting close to 40, like, has that changed? And for me, I think what I realized was it did change. And

What I craved more wasn't to reach the corner office, but I wanted more control. I wanted more flexibility with my life. So that's when I got introduced into

a lot of the fi concepts through choose fi through you know bigger pockets money through just so many other great resources that are out there and uh i had a good fortune meeting carl at chautauqua in uk back in 2019 at that point we've been kind of following the fi principles of just living below our means saving as much as we can so we we were pushing ourselves at one point

you know, like saving half of our income. So, you know, essentially both of us were working. So try to live off of one income and save the other. So we were following those principles. I think right around 2021, 2020 when COVID hit, I think that's when I started to get a little bit more itch to transition. So this is when I was also getting some exposure to the internet business world, the YouTube world. And I realized

I had this inclination to, hey, maybe I can put my head in the lot and try to become a YouTuber or a personal finance YouTuber. So at that point, we hadn't reached five from like a traditional perspective of 25 times our expenses.

I would say we were like coast five. Um, and you know, we, we had enough cushion to be able to take some time away if we wanted to, you know, in discussion with Monica, who's my wife, we decided that, Hey, you know, what's the worst that can happen? This thing doesn't work out. And I just go back to what I did before. You know, that's a great place to be at. It's, you know, the American dream, right? Like both of us were well-employed. We, you know, we had, you know, we were able to fund our living. Um,

We weren't financially struggling, so that was the American dream. We kind of mapped things out where we saved up about two years worth of cash. And we were doing that before. And essentially we said, hey, I'll give myself about two years to see if I can make this work because we didn't want to tap into our investments if we could.

And then again, if worse came to happen, I would have taken a contract job or just gone back and gotten a full-time job. But I started a YouTube channel, Financial Tortoise, and then, yeah, it just kind of worked out. So then, thankfully, I'm able to generate enough income that covers our family's expenses. So I've, at this point, become an accidental digital nomad. Yeah.

So I have a funny story about your YouTube channel. I had started seeing your name a lot. And at the same time, Carl and I had met up with a friend in Denver. His name is Roger. He's a mutual friend of ours. And he said, oh, I've got a friend who's got a YouTube channel. You should talk to him. And in my mind, I'm like, a friend with a YouTube channel. I bet he's going to be really awesome. And then it turns out he's like, yeah, his name is take him. He's the financial tortoise. I'm like, I've been trying to get him on my

get him on my show. Now, here I am. This was actually a couple of years ago before you had been on the BiggerPocketsMoney podcast. But it was just so funny that he was like, I've got this friend with a YouTube channel. I'm like, okay, I bet that's gonna be great.

That's something that I think a lot of people on the path are a little scared about. Yeah, yeah. So I would say, I mean, if I was to kind of put a pin on where did the

I guess the percolating of thoughts, idea generation, or even sparking the idea came about was probably five years before I left my job. And one of my big roles was to present our projections for the next quarter to the board members. And then in our board meeting, like I would be sitting

right next to our CFO. So like I was the finance director, I had the team that would, we would run all the forecasts, make all the slides. And then she would be the one presenting the big numbers. And then if she has some questions about certain small numbers, she would reach over and ask me and I would be like, point it out on the slides. And then I had this kind of like, like, this realization that I was like, oh my goodness, if I work really hard for the next 10 years, and if I stay in this pathway, I would just like move one seat over

and then i would be sitting in her spot and i would be pointing at the finance director and be like hey you know and i was like is that what i want so i think that was the first time where i asked myself like gave myself the permission to be like is that when i could see exactly clearly where my future was going to be for the next 10 years i think in a way that kind of scared me and i was like hmm should i give myself the permission to imagine something else and that's where i think um

this idea of starting a YouTube channel was like terrifying. I mean, I'm like a middle-aged guy. I'm like, I'm going to go start a YouTube channel. Like that's like, that's what like these young hip kid, uh, cool kids do. Right. I think so. Then that's when the idea started generating. And that's when, you know, I went to Chautauqua and I think I got exposed to the financial independence concept. And I was like, Oh, okay. Like this could be a lever that could help me to take

new chances and new risks in life. Try new things because what's the, you know, like it's almost like you're operating with a safety net, right? It's like, what's the worst that can happen? I just go back to what I was doing. So then it was kind of like, let me try this thing. And then it's not like the, even if I fail in it, there's nothing, there's nothing wrong. Like I learned something new about myself. From a financial perspective, this is where I think my wife and I

following a lot of the financial independence principles, we would look at our numbers and be like, you know, I think...

I think we had a kind of worst case scenario. We would say like, okay, let's say two years out, we spend all of our cash and then we have to start tapping into our assets. What would the first one be? I think we can tap into this one first. Okay, then that. And then we would be like, dude, we have enough to last us for the next five, 10 years. We'll be fine. And then again, we're probably not going to pull that lever because being conservative, we'll be like, we'll probably go find something else to cover the gap.

to like generate more income because we have creator capital that we can leverage. So I think when we mapped all those scenarios out, we're like, like only thing that's holding me back is just my own fear, just a familiarity with the path that I am heading towards. And that was the other fear too. It's like, this is all I knew. I came out of business school. Every one of my friends are following these like pathways in different functional areas. Like it could be marketing or finance or

HR, but we're all following this pathway. And for me to be like, I'm going to try something different was kind of like a new concept for me.

So I think all those things percolated in my mind. And then I would say from start to finish, from the day I left my job was about a five-year process, both mentally getting myself ready and then getting ourselves financially ready so that we had these kind of like, okay, what are the levers that we can pull as we go down this journey? You said a lot of very important things here, but I want to reiterate a couple of them. For one, it cracks me up that you

You had this ambition to become a CFO, so you were a very ambitious person. Like, all I ever wanted to do was stay in my Cuban code, but I was happy with that. So you wanted to be a CFO, and then you discovered financial independence, and then you worked your way into becoming a YouTube influencer, which cracks me up. You said one line, I think, which was super cool. You said, I gave myself permission to imagine something else. I think this is so neat because the other thing you said is,

My worst case scenario was I could go back to whatever I was doing. I could go back to becoming a – I would go back to being a finance director. On the other hand, the world is open to you. The possibilities are limitless and endless. So it's okay if I fail. I'm just back to what I was doing before, which was still pretty great. You made a great career for yourself. On the other hand, I'm going to experiment and try things, which is super cool because

I think if most people did that and just took that little leap that they would probably never go back to whatever they were doing before. Yeah, I think that's super cool. When did you realize you had made it and you were not going to go back to becoming a finance director? Again, like it was a hypothesis when I first started the YouTube journey. So I think I...

As in the process of learning about financial independence, in the process of kind of envisioning something new for myself, I think I was looking at a lot of different avenues. And I kind of landed on YouTube as this, I guess, vehicle in which there's a lot of traffic already coming in. And I think within the personal finance space, I mean, we all know there's a lot of like really smart bloggers within the personal finance space, you know, people who can write about

all the backend analysis that's been done in the 4% rule and they can explain it all in a written format really well. But I didn't see a lot of that in the video world, in the YouTube world. So that's where I was like, I don't mind talking from the camera. Maybe this is something that...

I can kind of make a niche, make a mission, but I knew it was going to take time. So I kind of committed myself to saying, I'm going to make two videos a week, rain or shine. And then a lot of this is going to be a learning process because I just don't know the algorithm. I don't know how I've never filmed myself like ever before. I've never like owned a camera so that I bought my camera literally like in the same month that I left my job. And then I'm just kind of learning how the thing worked.

So then a lot of it was the learning process. But then after about two years, I would say like 100, I think at that point, I created like 150 videos. That's when I started to see some traction within YouTube where, you know,

there was actually people watching, not like just friends and family members. And then it was able to generate revenue, starting to generate some revenue. So I started to see some potential. So yeah, two-year was kind of like, okay, I could see, it's kind of like the Rubik's Cube. At first, I don't know what I'm doing. And after a little while, you're like, oh, I think I could see it. So when I started to see that pathway,

I was like, all right, I'm going head, like this is head first. Like I'm doubling down on this. But again, like when I, that first two years, it was still a limbo. I think I was giving everything I could to the YouTube game. However, I never left my day job with like any burn, like bridges burned. It was like, I, I,

I actually, when I left, I gave a seven-month notice. I hired my own replacement, like new team members, kind of trained everybody. And then I always kept that back door open because I was like, well, there could be a chance that I might need to come back.

So, you know, kind of like managing all my risks. And I didn't really tell anybody what I was doing, but I think I wanted to make sure that if I ever needed to, like I wanted that assurance. It's pretty neat that you stuck with it for 150 videos. I wonder how many potential bloggers or how many potential YouTubers or podcasters or whatever did 10 and gave it up and all they had to do was give it a little bit more time and have a little bit more tenacity. One of my favorite quotes is,

overnight success is usually preceded by like years of hard work or something like that. Cause that's true. I don't, I think very, very few people do something and become immediately successful. There's a lot of hard work to either build up the skills or to build up your audience or maybe to hit the algorithm. So kudos to you for, for sticking with it. I mean, I think that was the motivation and yeah, the other motivation was like, I do not want to go back to what I was doing before. Like I gotta make this work. That was the thing. Like I was like,

In the back of my mind, I kept the back door open, but I was like, this is like only crack open, you know, at the worst case scenario. It's like, you know, break glass only in emergency. Like, I do not want to break the glass. I love that mentality because that is how you succeed. You said, I'm going to make two videos per week, rain or shine. When Scott Trench and I were starting the BiggerPocketsMoney podcast, one,

We reached out to Brandon Turner, who had been doing the BiggerPockets real estate podcast for so long. We're like, what advice do you have? And he said, if you want to start a podcast, make an episode and release an episode every week for six months with no gaps.

ever, ever, ever. And I was like, oh, totally easy. And then there's that one day, that one week when you're like, oh, it's Tuesday afternoon. I got to record something for Thursday's release. But I also still have to have it edited and all these other things. And, you know, it takes tenacity. It takes commitment. And I like how you say after 150 videos, I started to see traction.

All the people that are out there making 10 videos and giving up, it's not an overnight thing. You're never going to have overnight success. There's

That one kid that did the one thing and instantly it blew up, that's already been used up. You're not going to be able to do that. You have to do like what sets you apart. You are you have said this. I'm not calling you a middle aged man because I'm older than you and I don't consider myself middle aged. But you you say you're a middle aged man who wants to watch me. Well, you know what? There's a lot of other middle aged people who want to learn from somebody who has some sort of background, some sort of.

credibility. I'm sorry, 25-year-old YouTubers who are life coaches. I don't really take the same level of trust with what you've got to say versus take him who worked in corporate America finance for 10 years. I think that maybe you know a little bit more about finance and maybe you don't. Maybe that 25-year-old is some wunderkind who is going to just blow my mind with all this stuff. But

there's people that are watching them for different reasons than there's people that are watching you. You speak to people that they won't speak to. Yeah, yeah. And I think that's one of the things that I realized about YouTube is that it is kind of becoming the new mainstream media. And then everyone is...

Like my parents who are in their 70s are watching YouTube. And there is a content about everything and anything you could think of. So it's kind of like, you know, I think it's easy to get because of the algorithm. We only get served up certain type of content that might be

more aligned to our watching habits. But then there's so many other people out there with different interests and different age group, different life stages. And there is a need and desire for those kinds of content. So it's like, yeah, that's what's been fascinating to me. It's like I made one of the most interesting video I made. I mean, not interesting, like one of the most interesting insights I saw about YouTube content

watch habit was I made this video about backdoor Roth IRA. Like it was like the most boring thing ever for 15 minutes. I'm literally like, all right, this guy's backdoor Roth IRA. Let me kind of walk you through logging into my Vanguard account and you click on this and then like, oh, you notice how you got to make sure you fund your traditional. And then like I went through the whole thing for 20 minutes. I was like, I'm going to make this like super long.

And then like to this day, like there's like, I think like 300,000 views on it. People are like watching how to do a backdoor Roth IRA. And I'm like, it fascinates my mind. I'm like, who are these people? Right. I'm like, so there's an audience for everything. Yeah. That's what I realized. You just gotta, like you said, you gotta be consistent. You gotta show up. You have to,

Think about your audience. Just serve them. You don't have to be like Mr. Beast. You don't have to be like all fashion. You know, like let your personality shine. Let your expertise shine. And there is an audience that will appreciate that. We have to take one final ad break, but we'll be back with more after this. You know what's wild?

You could probably have the most ridiculous channel in the world. You could have a thing about porcupines and purple porcupines. There's an audience for that. Yeah. So I'm kind of curious. Before you left work, did you have...

Any ideas or thoughts of what life posts? And I want to say, I don't know, even though if retired is the right word, because it actually hate the word retired. It's stupid. No one. If you look it up, it means to cease work. No one should cease work because work is where all our happiness and purpose and meaning comes from. We just have to do the right job of defining the work we want to do. So I'm not going to say retired. What I'm going to say is life.

post-formal job did you have ideas in your head of what life would be like and has it been what you expected or different and if so how yeah i think for me and i think for a lot of people it comes down to control right like being able to control your life more i think that was the biggest thing i realized i was craving was i had interest um that i wanted to explore at work but then the

The constraints, the job description of the work kind of kept me in this box. There's things I want to learn, things I want to explore, things I want to grow, but I'm only going to grow to the limit in which my job description allows me to. I think one of the exercises I actually did was before I left was if I could kind of envision what my ideal day, ideal week would look like, I kind of mapped that out.

And I think that really helped. I was kind of like, okay, like I would be in full control of like when I drop the kits off, I get to...

Work from this time to this time I get to work out at whatever time I want to I get to pick up the kids we can go have dinner like I think I mapped that out and that became kind of like my Man, if I could do that, that would be amazing because to your point car like I think work is very important I think being productive adding value Creating something being growing. I think it's such a such an essential component like I think for me personally like I

If I didn't have a YouTube channel where I have the ability to do cognitive work, where I'm looking at a lot of data, synthesizing it, and then packaging it, and then sharing it to the world, I'm hoping that is helpful to the world. Like, I don't know, I feel like there will be this gap in my life, this vacancy. So I like the idea that I have full control over my life. So yeah, I mean, I think that was one of the biggest...

biggest benefit, it wasn't like aversion to work. It was more like I want to control my life more. I want to control what I'm working on more. I want to pursue my interests and desires. Like if I want to read about this article, like I want to go deep into this. Like I don't want to, you know, go through the routine of having to, you know, write reports that no one's going to read or,

you know, synthesized data that no one really cares about. Like that didn't really like excite me that much. So I think that was the thing. I think that was the biggest thing was the ability to have control over my life. Yeah, I think that's so important. And one thought I frequently had is, I'll turn it back on myself for a second. I actually liked what I did. I loved writing code. I liked the

the thoughtful aspect of it yourself in these puzzles and i thought that was great but then all the other stuff that goes along with it you don't have that many vacation weeks you have to work with and for difficult people you have to be there you might have to be at a location you might have to endure a commute you're going to be there for a certain number of hours you might have to start at a certain time and wear certain clothes it's all that stuff that goes around the job the job that uh

But I think a lot of us probably do like our core work. And if we could do it on our own terms, which isn't really realistic, but it's an interesting thought exercise, if nothing else. So it goes back to exactly what you said, having control and having the autonomy. We're all still doing work. We're just doing it on our own terms with our own rules. Yeah. And I feel like I would say if I'm comparing how much I'm working and intensity, I feel like I'm

working way more than I did before in my corporate job. And I'm like, I think that the intensity that I have, I feel like is a lot more, but it's self-motivated and self-driven. So then like, I'm like, I wanna work on this. And then this is really interesting to me.

But I feel like the amount in which I'm growing is at so much faster pace than when I was in my corporate job. How many hours do you spend working now versus when you were working in your corporate job? So, I mean, I think a typical, you know, like, I mean, 40 hours a week was the

in my previous job. I mean, but then the actual, actual work. So I think this is the other thing I realized after kind of moving up the corporate ladder was I was spending less time on the work itself and I think I was spending more time on the politics. So then this is a joke around financial planning, like financial forecasting. It wasn't, the accuracy of the forecast wasn't as important as did everyone feel good about the numbers that we're forecasting and projecting. So then I would spend...

More meetings before the final presentation, meeting with all the stakeholders, making them feel like they got their inputs in. They all feel good so that by the time we get to that final meeting, it's not contentious that everyone's like, oh yeah, the forecast looks good. Whether it's accurate, no one cares. Then next quarter, next board meeting. So I think that was the other frustration I was feeling was like the amount of time that we spent on trying to nail in these numbers wasn't as much

Maybe some people enjoy the politics side of it. I mean, I personally, I think that was also what was getting to me after a little while was I felt like I was massaging egos more than actually like digging into the analysis. So that's one of the things I kind of really enjoy about the current YouTube job that I have in a way is like I get paid to like just read books and articles all day and then like synthesize, like I get to delve into what I'm interested in.

And then like be able to, in a way, like I feel like every YouTube video I make is kind of like a term paper that I'm writing. And then so then like I get to produce the content I like. And then I get to really like spend my energy on the things that I want to focus on. So I think that's been the real like satisfaction that I've been able to really enjoy with my new job. In terms of annual spending, how much income is your...

YouTube channel generating? It's a little flux right now because we're on the road. So like I'm talking to you guys from Bali, Indonesia. So it's hard to say. I would say it ranges from like low end to maybe like 70,000 to maybe high end 120,000. Like that's kind of like the baseline expenses for family of four. In Europe, it was costing probably a little bit more like 120,000, 150,000 maybe even at times. And then here in Bali, Indonesia is like maybe half of that.

And then, yeah, YouTube channel, I would say like my first year, top line revenue, I think it was, so I'll say the numbers. The first year I got zero. Like I think I was, I made $0. Second year, I made like 16,000. That was like a breakthrough year. I was like, oh, I'm making money online. This is crazy.

Look at how rich you are. I know. And then third year, I think I was maybe a hundred something thousand, a little bit over. I think right now it's around like between 250, 300,000. Yeah. Okay. So it's covering your expenses. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Even if you decide to travel around Europe. It does. Thankfully. Yeah. Yeah.

It does. And then, you know, I think one of the benefits of traveling right now full time is that we get to have a little more, a little bit more flexibility on if the cost seems a little too high in one place, we can travel to a different place. And then do you touch your investments, your retirement investments or your FI money? Or do you just live off of the YouTube stuff?

Yeah, thankfully we haven't had to. I mean, that was one of the levers that we had in our sequence of levers that we had to pull. But thankfully, we didn't have to pull that. So we were able to the first couple of years. My wife, she was a former nurse, so she went part-time. And then that was enough to kind of cover the first year and then plus our savings. And then we were able to stretch it out to the second year. So thankfully, it's just kind of like,

Our cash position, all of that kind of worked out for the transition where my revenue started to generate enough income to cover our expenses. Are you still saving for retirement or have you kind of stopped that? Yeah, I mean, so I have a solo 401k. We still have our, I have an HSA because I have a high deductible health care plan.

We still have a Roth IRA. So yeah, I try to put away... I wouldn't say I'm like maxing it. I mean, the first three or two, three years, we weren't maxing it out. But I think I'm trying to put in as much as I can based upon the sequence of what's most optimal. So yes, yeah. The desire is I can put away more down the line because I think the other part of the FI is I think it's like...

the life as long as you maintain your lifestyle expenses you know so as long as you manage your lifestyle expenses i mean you're gonna have extra income to be able to put away so

Yeah, the desire, the goal. We've been putting away and the desire is to put more away down the line. I think you've done a really good job building a great life. And I don't see many people who fail in FI. I have seen a couple who have gone back to their jobs because they just can't figure out anything to do with themselves. And I think that's kind of sad. I think there's a lack of imagination there. But you, on the other hand, you've built a really cool life. As we're talking, you're on the other side of the world.

showing your kids you're doing the world school and you're giving them awesome experiences so you've really built something cool. What advice would you give someone who's about to reach financial independence but might be nervous or apprehensive about leaving work? Yeah, so I think there's two parts to I see...

when people think about transitioning, I think there's a financial part. And I feel like with most people who are interested in the financial independence space or FI space, I feel like that becomes a less, I don't want to say important, but like a determinant. So I feel like, yeah, you should look at your finances to make sure that what are...

What are the levers that you can pull in order to design a lifestyle that could imagine your future differently? I think the second part is more of the identity and the emotion part. I think I spend more of my time doing that because if you ask me like five years before I left my day job, it's like what you...

Like, I had this identity built for myself. I went to business school on this pathway. When someone asks me, it's like, what do you do? Right? That's the first question we ask each other. I'm a finance director. I want to move up and I want to become a CFO one day. That's kind of like my aspiration. And you find satisfaction in that. You find a sense of purpose in that. And for me to be able to be like, okay, like, what do you do now? And then first couple years after I left my day job, that was hard emotionally, I think, because...

people would ask it's like what do you do it's like oh i'm just like a uh stay home dad or like i was coaching my son's soccer team it's like oh you know i coached my son's soccer team here and there but then i didn't like i was still struggling with that identity but i feel like um

I would encourage people to be okay with that struggle because that is part of the process of reinventing and redefining ourselves. That we're not defined by the one identity of our career. You will live multiple lives, especially in today's world. Opportunities are bound and you don't know what you don't know. So I think it's okay to struggle. I would say...

Like for me, it was the biggest thing was like just giving myself the permission to be like, okay, if I'm not this, then what am I? I don't know, but let me try. I just, we don't know what else is out there, you know? So then I think that's the other part is the last step

three to four years after I left my day job is being more comfortable without that prior corporate identity and then kind of redefining myself. You know, I call myself a financial YouTuber now, but five years from now, I'll probably be something else. And that's okay. And that's part of life, you know? And I think we should get comfortable with that. And I think the finances, the financial independence, the money, it's like the superpower you have that enables you to do those things.

to take chances in life that most other people would just dream about, you know? Tay, I want to thank you for your time today. This was so much fun.
