Also take your time, and if your priorities and direction in life seems to change, I hope you won't be feeling too guilty if you feel like shutting down the channel in the future. I am shocked you are even still finding the time and graciousness to respond to people's curious comments about your whereabouts. that's like the level of niceness & well-adjusted adult-ness(? 💀) I aspire to have. when something makes me stressed, I just peace out and ghost without explanation lol
@TripAstute

Ha! I do feel bad for not keeping up with the channel. Though I have to admit that I feel a lot less stressed right now (even though life is busier). While I love content creation, it is tough to keep up. I think if I were able to do it full-time, then it would be different. But trying to work a normal job and do content creation is a recipe for burnout. 😭
Congratulations Earnest and Fiona! I love your informative videos, but I get that you want to enjoy the baby. They grow up fast!

We miss you! The community isn’t the same without you. I wonder what your takes would be on all of the changes to travel and the credit card game since you took a break. If you’re going to create another video in the future, I’d suggest talking about life as a father and how that’s changed your life, travel, and spending. Tips and tricks for traveling with a family and your credit card strategy for families would also be awesome. Traveling won’t dramatically pick back up for a long time, even after a lot of people are vaccinated. Some people do manage to be creative with travel during the pandemic. I hope you and the family stay safe and healthy!
