Do You Want Adventure or a Safe Life?

[@Mr.Burberry486]

Went to Japan by myself after recovering from a terrible 2024. Got money stolen from me and caught a virus that affected me for months but still came out with enough money in the bank and enough money to go on a vacation to start 2025 out. Wrote this comment in Japan. Thank you for your content.

[@1028dash]

As a 27 year old , your channel is a great inspirational and I feel a sense of ease that everything is going to work out when I watch your channel. Keep being you :)

[@whylearntech]

Means a lot man :) everything will work out! Stay the course with me

[@jamesz.1047]

Risks are easier to take and recover from when you're still young. And who knows, taking the big jump could uncover new skills and opportunities you never thought of before. I didn't go as exotic as you guys but I left the stable city life, went out to middle america, and found a whole new career out here while living quietly. Whatever you all go for in life, plan well then execute!

Laugh and smile a lot, because who cares about wrinkles? Be smart with big life decisions, but treat yourself with that unexpected bonus. Take the long way home and turn up the radio when you have a bit of time to kill. I always want to remind myself to stay curious about the world as I grow old. The most mundane sense of wonder can be going Wikipedia surfing, where I browse through articles about history, technology, nature, geography, and just about anything random I hear about and want to know more. My actual adventures mostly stem from when I used to ride motorcycles. That way I could get a bit of travel and adrenaline in while still working my day job and playing music on the weekends. Still find time to play Modern Warfare 2 as well!

sometimes its the little things in life that make us the happiest! for me, its the morning coffee and chats with people in my life before starting the day

[@GiddGames]

I’m 26 and got the itch to make a channel like this recently and then I found your channel a few days after the thought. You inspired me bro thank you. Hope this channel takes off like yours. Cheers!

[@Stevo_1999]

Good stuff man, i remember when i took a leap of faith, leaving my home for adventure into the unknown. I left my stable job after four years of being there, had everything going for me for a while, but the spark just wasnt there anymore. So i decided to save 20k and hit the road for about a year living in my car. Got to see what most people could ever dream of seeing. No regrets imo. If your thinking of taking a risk i say go for it while you got the chance, worst comes to worst you can always return.

[@advenco344]

Yeah man this is what I’ve always thought. Life is so much more than just doing the bog standard things you’ve been told to do your entire life. You have to do something out of the ordinary, something memorable that will enrich your life. That’s how you find yourself, find meaning, and find fulfillment.

[@Caden553]

Fantastic video once again! I think there are very big pros and cons for both. As you said, its 100% ok to do that IF you have your finances in place. Make sure you have a cushy emergency fund and have a plan to fall back on. One big thing to mention is you don't always need to leave a full time job to get a good adventure. My girlfriend and I are on a 2 week trip up the western coast all the way to Vancouver and I have zero job stress. People also tend to waste 5pm-9pm. Get out there and go do something instead of sitting at home! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@Roboboy2710]

Man this gets me thinking. I don't know what I would do for adventure, I just know I want to do more than I am. Feel like I've been lagging behind my peers for years.

[@AhmedAli-xj2kn]

bro I'm 22 nearly 23 i feel like I'm losing hope because the things I've done my whole life and I've lived a safe life my whole life playing video games movies social media and etc now it doesn't feel the same anymore u got any quick advice for me but i love the content man lets get u to 100k!

[@activatekruger446]

Bro you're only 22. Just get out of your comfort zone. I did this by volunteering for noble causes in far away countries. I've been through many perilous situations, and It's a miracle I'm still alive. Of course, you don't have to go to such extremes, my point is to just get out of your comfort zone. The confidence you'll gain will snowball into other areas of your life.

[@thegalaxycosmos7703]

@@activatekruger446Can you elaborate on the volunteering in far away countries? I have similar thoughts but don’t know how to act on them.

[@AhmedAli-xj2kn]

@activatekruger446 thanks man appreciate the advice

[@chrisgarcia6413]

I was in the military became an officer and got an honorable discharge it pretty much fried my brain I wish I stayed “normal” I just want to live in peace again but I never will. Chronic pain and more than likely shortened lifespan that will only get more painful take it from me some things aren’t worth risking.

Cry me a river, my gosh you people are insufferable.

[@emptycode1782]

these videos are great , pretty refreshing and calming for me.

[@whylearntech]

Glad they help you relax and find some perspective!

[@ValiantInstance]

I worry about life passing me by. I'm 30 now and extremely comfortable in my day to day life. I have earned that comfort myself, I didn't inherit it. But I still want to push myself in 2025 to get out of my comfort zone. I've got to do a speech at my best friends wedding for starters, so I need a mindset change before that.

[@whylearntech]

best man speeches are scary, i have given one and I needed a few drinks beforehand to calm down! lol

[@ValiantInstance]

@@whylearntech You don't want too many drinks haha. I might have one, but I want to keep it short, crack a couple of quick jokes to start then go from the heart. No cue cards.

You got it man

You are doing good work brother.

I’m actually working on a skit about this exact topic for my other KZbin video. Thank you for covering it! also happy WhyLearn Thursday Lol !

[@whylearntech]

one of the few whylearn Thursdays! lol. Looking forward to the video

[@_shutup]

Your videos really helping me as a 21 year old, i know life currently isnt supposed to be completely put together for me yet but still I feel as if im behind in so many ways for not applying the information I had beforehand to be in a better position yet again no better time then the current situation!

[@AmaryxGamesYT]

Great Video WhyLearn. It's always good to live life to the fullest because anything can happen!

[@FinancewithEJ]

Hey bro, I’m 26 years old I own a business myself in trading/investing and I’m working on this KZbin channel. I am working/starting a T-shirt business as well. I just wanted to tell you have been a huge influence on me personally. Not just from your mind set wise but the way you think, but the fact that we grew up very similar with our childhood and upbringing our struggles being in college all that man so it’s really good to see somebody that has the same common as you. Also with us binge playing call of duty, Madden and call of duty 🤣. It’s crazy being your 20s how reality just hits and things aren’t the same when you were a child!

[@whylearntech]

haha we are very similar in many ways! videogames are a great escape, and we gotta balance that with moving forward in life as well. I'll check out some of your finance stuff!

[@FinancewithEJ]

@@whylearntech I appreciate that bro 💯

[@thepurposeisgood]

Hey WhyLearn the love the videos. You inspire me I always came back and forth trying to be a KZbinr. You give me the motivation to try again. I’m 19 I’m a full time student , as well as I work in sales full time. It is very time consuming but id love in the future to financially be free and own 100% of my time.

[@xCh4nce]

Your channel has motivated me a ton in life. Thanks man.

[@wpadn]

As a 20 year old, ive realized i want to travel and with my passion more than anything. I got a job working in my passion (cars and working on them) but i want to find a way later in my life to incorporate my passion across the world. I am creating a business plan as i learn about it to become an indepent mechanic, and this video made me realize i should do everything i can to make that truly happen. Im so young, now is the perfect time for me to start doing what i can to make my dream future possible. I dont wanna stay stuck in a shop for 20 years under corporate like some of these guys. whylearn is becoming my favorite youtuber😭🙏helps me think i can really do what i wanna do idk if its the nostalgic gameplay or his voice but man hes great at this

[@whylearntech]

haha i appreciate that! with your skillset, there are many different avenues you can take to make money! try some new things this next year and see what you can make happen!

[@wpadn]

@ definitely going to! Probably wont be able to travel the country by next Christmas, but a new car would open up so many opportunities

[@davidh7832]

@Whylearn, may you do a deep dive over fully telecommuting job prospects nowadays please? Would be awesome man. Much luck on your channel too! 👍🏼

[@ZedEditz31z]

Another nice video WhyLearn, thx for making this man

[@movielord911]

Planning on starting a new channel soon based on the stuff you talk about, and also personal things. Im going to be referencing some of your work too and give you credit. I could chime in on this based on someone who knows people who stayed overseas for years, and what i learned traveling some places. Hopefully youre okay with me piggybacking on some of your content very vaguely in some of the videos i have coming up. Cheers to you and what you do. Keep it up

[@carvalho9021]

at this point, I just want to be able to pay my bills and survive.. and btw Thanks for this videos and a happy new year.

[@PackerManForLife]

I found myself in a sort of similar scenario after I had twins. Adventure or Safe Life. I was an avid trout fisherman, often going through very remote areas for extended amounts of time. It was a deep passion. I loved every single bit of it, and still do. The engagement with nature was unmatched. Every outing was an adventure, to say the least. That changed a bit when I had my twins. I couldnt help but wonder, what if some freak accident happened to me? Falling and hitting my head on a rock in the river, coming face to face with an aggressive animal (or person!) , getting stuck in quicksand while alone (quicksand is common in trout streams), etc etc. My kids would grow up not knowing who I was. I wouldn't see their first day of school. Their first time riding a bike. The first time opening a Christmas present. I realize the risk of those things is minimal, but it's still there. Not to mention, I felt guilty going on these adventures, while my family was at home. Ultimately, you need to answer which desire is stronger. For me, I've given up extended Solo Trout Fishing trips. My desire to be there for my family was stronger than my desire for Trout Fishing.

[@whylearntech]

I would go fishing A LOT in northern wisconsin, mainly superior area. I love catching brook/brown trout and salmon. I caught a nice king earlier this year. Also, packers are dominating. always love seeing wisconsin people on this channel haha. someday you can take your kids on those fly fishing trips!

[@CowTipin]

Great video

[@limitlessapocalypse2702]

When he said "foreign country", I honestly have to advice the questioner going to Thailand. Safe, secure, and solidified. Work from home, live alone, and have peace. If you work from home then it makes little sense to even be in a western country UNLESS you have a mortgage. Otherwise if nothing is locking you from the land then there is no reason to do so. Though they do live with their parents, so unless they have a strong desire to be independent, then it may be unfavorable to do so. I DO think they should try it for a few months to see how it feels. The worst case is an "Oh no, I lost $600 a month" vs "Wow this is great my mom and dad would be prouder of me now than the time I first got my drivers license!". Good question and fun video, glad your christmas was merry Why learn and keep up the content!

[@Kyleforthe3SIKE]

Adventure always. No regrets

[@mart1n10601]

Honestly, safe life. it's simpler and easier. Chill. No hassle and need to just go with the flow.

[@whylearntech]

nothing wrong with that! for most people, the benefits are great. It gave me a lot of stability in my life

[@activatekruger446]

A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for. My twenties were one big adventure. From the African bush, to the sea of cortez. I battled wildfires across the US, and journeyed across the war-torn fields of Ukraine. If your life were a book, would you want to read it? Good news- you're the author.

Mr man from Wisconsin, what is your view on enlisting into the military from an economical standpoint. With the GI bill and free college, what is your belief on it, and would it be an effective way to save money and even help family members who might not be in the best situation? Also cool video :]

[@whylearntech]

thank you :) i am not super familiar with all the benefits of enrolling in the military. Its very honorable and seems to have financial benefits as well though! I'll have to get back to you on that

[@xxlookalive239x3]

@@whylearntechyea get back WhyLearn cause im in the same boat, going to be enlisting soon

[@thegalaxycosmos7703]

@@xxlookalive239x3It can sound enticing but if you don’t have a bachelor degree they will enlist you as the bottom ranking grunt - and you are expendable to them. They don’t care if you die for a needless war - you’re just a number on a spreadsheet to them. If you’re going to do it, based on my limited research it’s worth it to go in already having a bachelors degree so you’re an officer at the get go.

I made a YTP of this video. I hope you enjoy it :).

[@johnnnnyyy]

ayo mr wisconsin! love your channel! this video really resonates with me, i live in norway but i have a dream of moving to a big city in the US. mainly for reasons like culture, climate, higher salaries and change. however it will be expensive and a huge risk for me. i have no family in the US so i will be completely on my own when i get there. i will have to work my ass off for the next 3-4 years while taking my bachelor in nursing here in norway to afford it. i will be 22-23 when im done with my bachelor. do you think it will be too late for me considering i have no network in the US? do you think i should take the risk?

[@whylearntech]

i don't think its too late at all! the most challenging part will be starting out here with no connections and getting that first job. I loved living in america and really do believe the possibilities here are endless. It's your decision, but I still believe there is plenty of opportunity here for those of all ages!

[@AugF130]

Why choose one when you can have both?

[@whylearntech]

I did mention you can try to balance both, especially since it is remote. Sometimes, you just need to take the leap

[@luxurybuzz3681]

[@slowtrip8011]

I want a life that isn't a rat race. Your gaslighting motivation is similar to what I used to hear growing up, " If you just work hard now, you won't have to later". Well hate to break it to you but in today's America all middle, and lower class will more than likely be working to death, and no amount of 'hard work' will get you out. "Well I'm doing it so my kids can have an easier life, and better future", oh well hate to break it to you again, but your kids will be working just as hard or harder by the time they have kids, regardless of your work ethic. This country is basically done for and all because people want to create false hope motivational videos for the people, instead of giving motivation to what really needs to happen; Revolution. That's the real adventure.
