[@GerinPhils]

thank you for making this video...Im working to escape the matrix now....

[@tattoorockstar7087]

I left the matrix of IT and became a tattoo artist. My husband and I watched your videos from the beginning and became so inspired. We had plans but he suddenly passed away a few months ago. NOW, I'm doing everything we planned. Please continue with this content and more e-commerce. I've started a channel and creating low content books. Hope to run into you both out there some day. Cheers.

[@JD-bz9vo]

Sorry for your loss. Wishing you all the success in the world 💝🌻

[@Jx.Journey]

5 years ago I built a home in Thailand for my Thai wife and myself to live one day and we are both stuck in Australia still living in the Matrix 😢 every day we live on repeat and want to go to live full time in the home we built for our future. We finally started our channel 3 weeks ago now and taking it slow to hopefully build it up so we can use this as some sort of income in the future to finally relocate to our Thailand home with in a year 😊 and start to create our Thailand series. This video has truly inspired us to work harder and try to be more confident and less camera shy. You have to start somewhere to get to where you want to go. Thanks.

[@RhettandClaire]

Omg guyyyys😭. What a freaking honor to have been part of your inspiration tree🥹❤️. We’re so very proud of where you are today, and even luckier to call you our friends❤️❤️

[@stefanlouw6395]

"and just how free a lot of us aren't." Well put. Awesome video. Please make more videos like this. It's very inspirational!

[@guderian7795]

You are 100% right about the fact that the majority of people are stuck in the Matrix. I have been feeling this way for months. Thank you for the insights and sharing your journey and I wish you both all the best! 🙂

[@attilab317]

Im 39, still looking for a way out of the Matrix. I feel like every year it gets harder but I’m still optimistic that one day I find a way…and your video now also helps to see how others managed to escape 😊

[@chrisdahlstrom]

Remember, one can always go back to a 9-5 but never back in time. Give it a try and if it fails your only back to where you would be anyway 🙏

[@carlfenger]

I am escaping the Matrix in exactly two weeks... by having moved to Switzerland 37 years ago, working 15 different corporate jobs, paying in fully to state, company and private tax-deferred pension, and realizing at 63 that I don't have to work anymore. Will soon start my new work-free life while living in the middle of Europe.

[@dogfraust458]

Thanks!

[@viewfromtheoffice]

What a great video guys! We felt like you were telling some of our story ... (though you have gotten out much earlier in life which is awesome).We escaped the Matrix a couple of years ago, quit Government jobs in NZ and took off travelling. We would love to see more informative content like this, especially about growing KZbin as we are approaching the "magical" 1000 subs but progress is slower than desired. We have followed you guys for a while now and really enjoy the honest and authentic way you share your life :)

[@Saralouise9]

35 I am 65 and sold it all. I don't have much money.. I have a basic government low income pension. I have worked hard all my life. Caring for people I should have not cared for. Don't want to live in a place that tells me I need this and that.... I am coming to Thailand... I want to enjoy my life. The matrix... learned about that after my Near Death Experience.

[@ludfx4yyc403]

Next video, do you still have a on line business? If so what is it exactly? Your analytics for you tube show you don't make a whole pile of money is this enough to live on in Thailand? Are you planning ahead for things like retirement or education for your children or just living in the now? Thanks

[@heathersullivan8494]

Oh this video makes me want to cry. I am searching for this very thing. I’m a lot older than you both, but that doesn’t mean I don’t strive to have a life where I feel comfortable in my own skin. The thing that I think hits hardest with me…is get rid of my material possessions! I don’t need them! I think they hold me back. I’m working on that now, and hoping to be free from all this mest (material belongings). Especially after running into a scare with breast cancer, it’s just given me that much more incentive to find my happy place. I’ve watched your channel for a couple years now and I’m truly inspired and grateful. ❤😊 I can’t wait for baby!! Love you guys! ❤

[@DarkoFitCoach]

you made it to 100k! huge congrats lloyd and mandy!

[@Christina-ge3xr]

Felt stuck in the Matrix since college…and it’s been 50 years. Stuck in a typical female job (nurse) and constantly fighting depression. People today are fortunate to have more choices. TAKE THEM! Don’t wait, kids.

[@GeoffreyWilliams]

Awesome😎 an amazing journey for you both full of grit and determination. I now for the next excitement🍼🙂!! Wishing you joy and success in all your future endeavours- especially Mandy! From a 77 year old missing his Thai home and family near Sakon Nakhon!

[@dennypm113]

I have enjoyed all your videos very much. Although I think I’ve been following your videos since the beginning, and you gave a very nice recap. I spent 22 years of my life in the military and 17 years of it was in Germany. I was fortunate because I got to travel while I was in the military. My daughter was born in Germany. I’ve been divorced for many years, but my ex-wife and I are still very good friends. Her favorite pastime is cruising, and we’ve been on quite a few cruises together. We live about four hours apart; she lives with our her daughter and our son lives about 8 miles from me. For the past four or five years my golfing buddy and I have done a lot of traveling as well. As a matter of fact, March 11 through the 21st 2025 we will be in Phuket, Thailand. It will be our second trip to Phuket and the last time we even spent a few days at Krabi, Thailand. At last count I’ve been to 42 different countries and five continents. Thailand is one of my favorites. Keep doing what you’re doing. I enjoy all your videos and I’m looking forward to you guys becoming a family. I am pushing 81 years of age and I’m going to continue to travel as much as I can, but I know my time is running out, but it’s been one heck of a life.

[@justyoutube5829]

This video is perfect for me to hear right now. To give me strength to continue on my journey. Thank you 😊

[@aquadmc7295]

Great vid guys, very informative and interesting. I love watching your other vids, but d like to also hear more about how you do it. Thankyou.

[@streetfoodmagic2024]

Nice work guys, truly inspirational! Been watching your story unfold from the outset of your channel 🙂 Passing thru Hua Hin next week as part of 2.5 months in Thailand so I'll be hoping to bump into Lloyd at the fruit stand so I can buy you both a smoothie!!

[@debrafleur5404]

Oh yes you guys are soo right! I’m currently on Kamala Beach Phuket a bit touristy but ok in low season but the locals cannot wait for the high season they are telling me. and don’t want to leave! The freedom feels so wonderful in this country. Australia is a controlled country I’m not looking forward to going back great vlog guys and Mandy you look glowing! Xx

[@sherrysimpson4167]

You are absolutely right about the Matrix! Enjoy your freedom you both worked so hard to get! Keep the content coming!

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

You ARE inspiring, Guys. I wish you both the best of luck with becoming parents and also I am wishing that Mandy is very safely delivered of a very healthy baby! Safe journey on and upward. I will be watching. - Abbie in Seattle

[@SelfAffirmament-ob3nc]

Absolute Legends! My Mrs and I are on a similar path! Seeing this content is helping with making the next move, you are truly appreciated. Thank You!

[@Fishon5813]

You guys are awesome and an inspiration! God bless you! I would like to recommend a small church called Victory Church Hua Hin. My wife and two kids really enjoyed it while we were there. The pastor and his wife are so loving and kind! Congratulations on all your hard work paying off. I remember when the videos first started posting haha they have come a long ways 😀

[@janetackland493]

So candid. Thanks for your inspiration. Loved all your videos. ❤You never really know until you try. Can’t wait for the baby. You are both blossoming.

[@davidcoons5197]

Congrats on your progress towards escaping “ the matrix”. . Inspiring!

[@OurTinyAdventure]

Congrats guys! We've been watching you for a long time and you were an inspiration to us to take the leap as well. KZbin is challenging but rewarding. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@lisalocke801]

Thanks for the inspiring video✌️ We really enjoy your videos!

[@ara5823]

I’m happy for you guys and I tried to do this thing myself and looked into many things Amazon FB and Shopify started a couple KZbin channels trying to figure this all out and I don’t wanna say I gave up on it but I guess I kind of did, but at the same time There’s people out there who don’t have the luxury like you guys do and you can say what you will but I’m a person with chronic illness and I’ll probably be stuck in a matrix for the rest of my life because of it so as much as you guys are being positive and talking about your lives, and how lucky you were Try not to talk down because not everybody has the same opportunities in life because of health or because of access

[@eddiejaoude]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your story

[@rontaylor8810]

Good on both of you for following your inner selves. Too few of us get caught up in life rather than living it. Keep up the great work 😊

[@AjayRohaz]

Great Video you two ! There was a glitch in the "Matrix" for me on January 22nd 2024. Lloyd, hope to meet you both in less than 5 years and that beer or drink we talked about getting, it's on me :) KZbinrs like yourselves are the reason I will retire happy to SE Asia and not rot away working till 70 hoping I can retire and still get by here in the USA.

[@PaulTraderUK]

Brilliant vid, been watching for 2 years, definitely helping me make the move to No Mad life!

[@adammckinnon6070]

Love how real you guys are! Thankyou for this inspiring video! This is great content. Interested to learn more in depth how you guys achieve this life 😃

[@stardust-1990]

Loved this ❤ You both are inspirational. Thank you!

[@mariemacinnes7627]

Well done! Glad to see you're breaking free from the control and make the most of your life!

[@Inspiredbycoastal]

Very inspiring!!! I would love to escape Australia and live a free full life without the expectations of the so called normal life.

[@mrsamick24]

Congrats on getting over 100K Subs! Ya'll deserve it!!

[@robertgreenhalgh2581]

Great info that, You perservered and stuck with each other. Great couple and i look forward to your new addition!!

[@pwm2653]

Great video you two, been following from the beginning. I retired three years ago and I’m totally disenchanted with the western way of life and culture. I have childhood friends living in Hua Hin and Na trang Vietnam , looks like a major move for me is coming this winter. When you chose to have your baby there that sold me on the quality of life achievable in south Asia , keep up the great vids!

[@tikapuspitapsb]

finally 100K, congrats for both of u!

[@TheGardner22]

You guys are just so inspirational, and also just genuinely lovely, good people. It's been a joy following your journey from the beginning.

[@martinsaunders4900]

Awesome Lloyd and Mandy. Enjoy your video very inspirational.😊

[@TroyGUNTER-ny9dm]

Thank you both for sharing. Wonderful stuff. All the best for your family in such a beautiful Country. Thailand people are so respectful and we in the west can learn so much from them.

[@SuzanneSoobrian]

You are an inspiration. Watching your videos motivated me to change and make the move. My partner and I are now living in Mexico and enjoying life. 😊

[@josephcaranna504]

Love this video. Can you go into more detail of how you built the KZbin channel and your other online businesses?

[@Freddie-Moses]

Came across your channel yesterday and watched this video after watching a few before. I'm very much interested on knowing more about how you make money on youtube, how you structure videos, editing etc. Cheers from the UK!

[@chrystal-ann-ray]

Love LOVE loved this video, 🤗thank you both are so inspirational, thank you for sharing your story, and yes please more content like this on steps to exit matrix and financial freedom through living a life that is loved and lived the way it was intended (freedom) Many Blessings and protection, health and happiness for you both and your little one on the way 💫🤍

[@mealea98]

love these types of video!

[@gumtreeist]

Congratulations to you both for your dedication. That bit about the ego .. spot on.

[@samanvayaluxuryresortspa-s2544]

Love how you are both so down to earth and awesome that you are sharing your story to show others what is possible.

[@aeskatia23]

Thank you very much!

[@everyonecantravel2024]

Off topic, but i love the dancing guy from byron, he's still there doing his thing. On my way to leave the matrix hopefully one day aswell. Well done guy's, all the best for the soon 4 of u. Cheers from NSW.

[@spiccinini]

Another great video. I too love watching both of you and enjoy your content. Excited to see your new addition. The very best to both of you.

[@redjonnyboy00]

My girlfriend and I loved this video thank you so much!!

[@messex-australia9700]

Loved this! Have watched you guys from the start, your vlogs have changed so much and get better and better. Love Thailand and watching you live there. Look forward to seeing bub and look forward to more vlogs just even everyday life in Thailand.

[@calvinconcepts]

Great video! I laughed when you said you were boring. I can relate to this because we moved from freezing cold & expensive Canada to Mexico Puerto Vallarta 2 years ago. Everyone seems to see us as these exciting adventurous people but really we are not. We live regular lives just with better weather, food, and overall quality of life for less! Just returned from a visit and it's gotten so much worse and it is depressing! Your Matrix reference is right on!

[@krittapaskhunthong1401]

Congrats to you both and keep it going.🎉

[@angeslinda]

Thank you for this video. All makes sense.

[@garypalmer5441]

I like your work good onya you both I'm 62 and still think young. Enjoy your youth.

[@blobsha]

Lovely video thankyou for sharing ❤

[@alejandrogastanaga2505]

First, congratulations on your firstborn. Second, congratulations on such an inspiring message. I wish you much health and well-being. I left the matrix last year and now building my own freedom.

[@DavidaBrule]

Can’t wait to see more vlogs. Mandy you look so healthy and happy. Keep up the great work.

[@briang2034]

you guys are living the dream, and still have vibes from city matrix. i seen couples sitting next to each other in Therapy for 27 years, strange vibes, not alot of affection. been at this life game a long time. you two need other couples to spice it up. guys and girls have separate night or weekend adventures away from each other, a nice balance. hope this helps...body language shows more then verbal. i recommended a great life coach.

[@dennisspackman7147]

Great video guys. Relocating from Canada to Thailand soon. I am executor for a will in my extended family, so stuck here for a couple more months. In the process of giving away and donating all my stuff. What you said is true about accumulating lots of stuff when your in the same place for a long time and have the space to collect more stuff. Really looking forward to the coming changes to my life.

[@mst6429]

We understand.

[@fumeokid]

That’s a great story! Congrats! 🙏

[@chrisk7118]

Pretty rare for Aussies to awaken from the matrix. Majority of the country is deep asleep.

[@williamgarcia9858]

What do you expect from a country full of sheep. 🐑

[@TheJolysLife]

How old is your dog and did you bring the dog by airplane? what was the process of bringing your dog?

[@IsareeNgamsirijit]

And trying and then failing is nothing shameful, it's ballsy.!

[@ราจา-ท8ต]

ทำได้แน่นอนครับ แค่ทำภายใต้กฏหมายของรัฐที่อาศัยอยู่ (ถึงแม้จะไม่ค่อยเห็นด้วยในบางส่วน)และทำตามน้ำไปกับกติกาของสังคม ส่วนที่เหลือทั้งหมดทำตามใจตัวเองได้เลย

[@AjMatrix777]

would be great to see more vids like this

[@RachaelH022]

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.. this content!! I want to do the same - do you offer guidance around skills/youtube, setting up, etc. I'm burnt out and need to break free, too!! ❤

[@CabStarr007]

Hi A video on your online businesses other than KZbin, that enables you guys not to have to be travel vlogging, and can settle somewhere, would be great ... 👍🏼

[@debwalton9070]

Agree. I'd love to hear about the other stuff you're doing.

[@dslewilkinson5815]

Hi Mandy,can you please tell me what the tattoo is on the inside of your right arm. Thanks
