I lived in England for a year 20 years ago, that would be my dream home, but unfortunately, the cost of living there is worse than in America. I have a girlfriend who lived in Asian and studied there over 30 years ago, but this new generation of Black women traveling the world is epic. I love it.

For dating, another youtuber said the same thing about South Africa. The best time in my life was when I was unemployed. I was looking for a job, but I was not stressed. Once I went back to work, been working ever since. I'm on the path of living with ease. My plan is to be living abroad my May next year. That's going to be my ultimate birthday gift to myself. I'm doing things now for the rest of my life of ease. Thank you Steph!!😊

I did the same thing too in 2015, travelling around SE Asia, my family dragged me back, but it was the best thing I ever did. I feel like doing the same thing again. I learned how to ride a moped too at 40!

@@blackheartcardiganI agree 100% with you! I worked at a corporate healthcare system for 22 years, the workplace started getting toxic and stressful! I made sure I had surgery done and was on medical leave for three months to recover & paid my full paycheck since I had grandfathered excellent unlimited sick time benefits. When I returned, I gave my boss my 4 week letter of resignation (4 weeks required for managers). After one week they told me I could leave and they would pay me for the remaining 3 weeks & my month pto time would be reimbursed. I am 60 so I arranged for to withdraw from my 403b pension plan monthly. I saved for the past year and made sure I went over my finances with a counselor and invested a portion of my pension in a diversified portfolio. So I am set to take a gap year. I’m studying for the real estate license exam (passed the virtual real estate course last year ). I will eventually get a part-time job to supplement my income but no more hospital administrative or corporate jobs! I’m FREE and at PEACE! Thank goodness I am on my husband’s health plan (past 10 years), so I don’t need that former job’s crummy expensive health insurance! 😅 Life is good & God is good! No regrets!

Stephanie, you are bringing back memories. My first moped ride in Honolulu began with me splayed on the highway with torn anterior cruciate ligament in my knee my second day of a 7-day trip. I was a paramedic at the time, so I missed months of work because I needed surgery. I'm glad you are talking about the mopeds they seem fun when you're in a new place. Be careful.

I definitely felt that about being invisible. I'm someone who has always been considered conventionally attractive and its like once you're no longer 25, you just don't exist. I haven't received attention or got approached by men to even go on dates in YEARS.

I know that's not an ideal option for a lot of women but in 2023 you're hard-pressed to meet men to date without trying a dating app. Otherwise you're waiting on single and eligible men to find you out in public somewhere. And that's not realistic, especially if it hasn't been working all this time

I love the name of your upcoming book. I look forward to reading it. Really good video.

I was 36, at my last job during pandemic. I was dealing w/fibroid tumors and had to leave wrk to go to urgent care, bcuz I was suffering frm what I didn't know at the time was low blood pressure. Urgent care said nothing was wrong w/me so they sent me but took a blood test. So I was going to go bck to wrk the nxt day, didn't feel like it but was trying to make myself get ready to go bck to wrk. Then urgent care called me and said I needed to go to the hospital to get a blood transfusion. I ended up being in the hospital a week and while I was still in there my job called me talking abt I needed to come in. And literally I'm like I'm still in the hospital. I ended up being released and going bck to wrk the same night of the day I was released. It was in the hospital when my job was talking to me abt wrk I thought to myself this job will kill me. After I went bck to wrk I was there abt 2 or 3 weeks trying to figure out what I would do, to leave and make money. 1 of my coworkers at the time was doing uber and lyft on the side to make money and was doing well and showing me his numbers. He had bought a new car off that. So I put in my two weeks to go do uber and lyft and at that time I had become interested in becoming a life insurance agent frm coming across malcolm harris vid's, so that was my plan to go uber and lyft and get my insurance licenses. I put in my 2weeks. That was the only job ever in my life I had ever gave the consideration of two weeks notice and they dragged every minute of it out and I hated every minute of it cuz I was ready to go when I put in my 2weeks. That was yr 2021. I have not had a job since. I've been going thru real hard times off and on, and now. Where I was considering getting a reg job again, and I had fight myself into putting in applications. Then when I had interviews I canceled. I'm in Insurance and I've been doing 1099 wrk for money. I haven't started making money yet in insurance but I am abt to have my 1st client as they are interested. Once you take your power bck frm these jobs it is real hard to give it bck. It's like putting yourself bck into slavery. Everytime the thought of it literally made me sick. I'm single and childless so I plan to pay for my house sitters and Stephanie's tool kit frm my 1st sale. And I do insurance virtually so I can do frm anywhere I'm glad you mentioned travelers insurance bcuz I'm going to now make that 1 of my niches since now I know there is a need. I had put in my 2weeks just as a just in case. But I knew bck then I wasn't going to be going bck to wrk. Glad I stumbled on your channel couple mnth's ago. This channel also inspired me to seek out my current blk woman coach in life insurance.

I don't think i can ever go back to working as a Nurse Practitioner now that I've had a taste of LIBERATION But one thing I teach people now- if you want to live off of Rental Income purchase your property before you quit your W2. Interest rates and financing is so much easier I thought I would take a break then return to the work force, but i can't even get myself to do agency work . As you know Stephanie, working in the medical field is draining and can be abusive all at the same time. I'm just not interested. It has served me well. But i can't see myself doing it again, especially not full-time.
