I don’t want my health to be compromised. I don’t want a toxic working environment. I don’t want my career to ruin my mental health/inner peace.

[@ethanganes9266]

Hearing Aaron speak somehow always reminds me that a career and finance is about living the life you want to live, not chasing outcomes all the time. Thanks for having him on!

[@arloc24]

With ťrading, analytical skills alone are not enough. Discipline and the desire to grow are also important for success. "time in the market vs. timing the market" is a good mindset to adopt when business is changing. Thanks to Dorian J Townsend's ideas, daily signal plans, and commitment to learning, I have increased my daily income. Continue!

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST EPISODE SO FAR!!!!

[@sophiaselamat3626]

Hi Mr. Stingy! I'm one of your blog readers. I'm Kakak Kedekut or Sister Stingy. These both guys are AWESOME!!!! I'm now financially free and because of Covid -19 I started enjoying my life like travelling and spend more for family and myself. Kurangkan the kedekutness....But still with the mindset of Kakak Kedekut and not upgrade lifestyle.

[@nananananananananana2132]

What do u do to achieve financial freedom

[@jiyantham9835]

Don't need to compare with our friend's bungalow or their house price, maybe a small house with all things we dream of or can be able to build our own dream home is what makes us feel accomplished and contented with what we had in our dream home, we chase for own dreams and not dreams of the others

[@RoquetteAttaquer]

My friend work at Petronas as a oil and gas engineer back in 2008, she resigned after years work with Petroleum then now becoming Public Mutual successfully and gaining more Money than before.

[@malayneum]

he is right. im 38 and my salary is 5k now. cukup2 makan but most important i am happy. 🤗🤗

[@malayneum]

@@sam-gt7eq why is it not?

[@jbrkjferkjbekjb]

Really good podcast here! As a fresh grad, I felt like I learnt from two “seniors” who have had different life experiences and found some satisfaction or at least peace with the paths they have chosen. I find the interviewer to be very open and great and making his guest feel at ease, while the guest is obviously an introspective person who delivered some great perspectives. We all face challenges at work but it’s nice to know that there are helpful and well-meaning people out there who understand that life is so much more than just work (with the list of non-negotiables like quality time).

[@cadiechua5869]

"You don't need luxury in everything." I really like how Mr Stingy puts things this way.

[@muhdamirul8956]

He is alumni UTP, I always see his picture when walking to class. The picture state what year his graduate and what course and current profession. Then i noticed that it stated over there "General Manager LUNO". I didn't expect that it was LUNO cryptocurrency exchange. Now its already confirm, hahaha

[@faith7115]

3 things I dont want in my life : 1) Financial illiteracy 2) Financial restrictions 3) Did not learn something new in term of ,skillset /investment / career development.

[@aunieismail2945]

Enjoyed this so much. He is so relatable in a way where mostly all financial success people always give tips that overwhelm me and seem so unrealistic to achieve but for Aaron, he just always emphasise on finding what works for you.

[@enzkhoo]

Young guy with wisdom. Thanks for the interview. Shared it with my nephews

[@whitefearlytales]

Financial planning is like navigation. If you know where you are and where you want to go, navigation isn't such a great problem. It's when you don't know the two points that it's difficult

[@Davidonchik-fv5ke]

People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

[@RaghuvirMohanta]

Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.

[@katiekilbo]

Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian.

[@MianHussnain-tu1wi]

Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things

[@ufuksenol2005]

Brian demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit

[@MalaysianPAYGAP]

Love all of his humble and realistic tips. More from Mr. Stingy please!

[@leeyongheng2789]

Thanks for sharing your journey and how you make that decision to switch/ stay. End of the day, every decision we shall focus on self intention/goal. Drop those jealousy and trying to compare to others.

[@nurulsuhaidi3568]

Love this interview. Definitely agree with having control and working on our own time and based on our strengths. I think the true realisation is pursuing success without neglecting what really matters to us and saying no even tho it can be tempting to say yes.

[@SaM-wi1ix]

So much valuable thoughts and life experiences that I picked up from this interview..thank you.

[@user-bu4zw4xj1s]

wow. i think tis is a good interview...im sharing with mykids and nephews.

[@gerardgoh797]

Relatable. Been through some key points & challenges over the last 22 years. It reaches a point when I question myself what I want. Supportive family plays a pivotal role in that decision of how I want to steer the course of my work life; that being said, one has to start somewhere in financial literacy and establishing expenditures & savings based on needs & wants. It's never too late to start but it is forever if one doesn't start at all. It's okay to seek help from associations/organizations that can guide you if needed. All in all, learn to know what is enough and pamper yourself & family once in a while to let out your happiness.

[@kinktinglee5575]

That is the good point that Mr.Money has mentioned to those specialist / expertise person in their industry with specific skills set and high salary, but if unlucky the person was get layoff or the company close shop, that person might floating in the community with no other skill set, is really important to think about the current job and skill set whether can pre-long to you career in you life....

[@haera3688]

By far the most insightful episode! 😊

U shd do what makes u happy, I work in a BPO company and have resign recently coz the environment is notnl right for me, looking forward for a new beginnning real soon

[@teddykong4676]

Totally agree with Aaron. Happiness is so much more than dollar and cents!

[@Humorousguy64]

Most important happy at work with good colleagues and what he said abt best no backstabbing colleagues...work progress depends on bit of luck and relationship . I have a friend from a cleaning sup to a subcontract boss now after 5 years . His boss let him have some extra job contract ....all is he got luck

[@alanlts]

The what I don't want list I love this ❤❤

[@vincentchin88]

Aaron is a very pleasant gentleman in real life. Always have time for a chat when we bump into each other in the lift.

[@projectgreenlungs6237]

Very insightful. It’s either mr stingy isn’t getting enough sleep or is on heavy medication. Feel better soon, mate.

[@contrarian2496]

Happiness of money indeed diminishes, making the first one million dollars will always be more satisfying than the next million dollars, because the first million dollars solidify your finances any more money is just an excess which may not be worth the sacrifices if you are working in a career you don't like. For example, the longer you work the more money you should make but would you want to retire late, probably not right, so that means people should stop chasing for money when they have gotten enough.

[@nightsage217]

agree alot about positive attitude. im not in management role, i do think im very social inept in working environment, but somehow i can do a game lead for 40 ppl online.. i just yet to get an environment i can enjoy with the colleagues, bosses and clients. the only closest experience i had is being a volunteer at a tabletop hobby club. sleep on the floor, eating with the owner, talking to customer and overnight prep work. it's zero paid. i guess that's life.

[@RayMak]

It’s fine, I was young and foolish too.

[@jiyantham9835]

True ,money is just a tool to get things,don't need what other think of us,new to golf is sure interesting, but after u can play it just a sports that u had learn the technique,I found other sports can challenge us about our strategy,more to talk about strategy, doesn't mean higher price point sports is any better, sometimes we just need other cheaper sports to make us happy because maybe it's something that makes us true happy that challenged us to think how to strategize to win

[@nananananananananana2132]

I earn about 8k /month..but my real achievements and contentment is whenever i manage to buy a cheap valuable things from shoppee😂😂

[@yokemayz]

It would've been more clickbait-y if your title included something about crypto with the recent market movements 🤫

[@alanlts]

I agree with that

[@SongPeehoa]

Yes. We don't need a lot of money by burning your morality or whatever. We need just enough and maintain your health. Sins got alot to do with health. And many evils bring about sins

[@yklai5229]

Good episode to me 👍

[@nicholasjack833]

Very nice dude. But it is obvious money is definitely not his main motivation in life because he chose to work in a local web3 company + he is not degen in his investments. That is why he is a very good fella. The ones who shoot up super fast like limpeh...we change over time to become ruthless lol. That is life.

[@izzuddinmnasir4884]
