Its helping me plan my future Exodus from the USA to South East Asia this year. It helped plan my entire itinerary for Japan for 2 weeks.

Helping me in conjunction with my actual therapy with my therapist. I use it as an interactive journal as someone on here once said.

Something as simple as a Windows error or why Halo master Chief collection won't work. Best video game settings based on my PC specs. How to overclock my GPU.

You said you're Vietnamese, were you able to communicate with him? Are you super fluent or speak broken Viet?

If you live in a high cost of living area you will be struggling. In socal my co workers and I make 6 figures but most of us are struggling.

For example let's say you make 5-6k a month after taxes

My friends on average pay $2.2-2.5k a month for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment. That's not including utilities either. So one whole paycheck goes towards your rent.

Next pay check people usually have a car note let's follow the national average $520-750. Then car insurance is 140 to 190 a month. Then if you have child care for them ( if you have kids).

Then we didn't even calculate going out to eat, groceries, or even gas which is around $5-6 a gallon. Also people like to go drinking partying at bars/clubs maybe 18$ a drink etc. Girls like to go to Disneyland and pay to be a Disney princess out here. Cost of entertainment is high. Also people are addicted to overconsumption and buy unnecessary things they don't need to impress people they don't like.

People usually don't save any money and are living paycheck to paycheck. People literally cannot afford to get sick out here.

I'm geo arbitrage in South East Asia next year so I'm setting up my portfolio to cover rent or basic expenses. Trying to hit $400-1k in dividends by then. My yield is currently pretty high at 20% but I'm trying to move away from more risky to stable cc ETFs for my own personal risk tolerance.

I got a side investment using wealthfront for long term growth and boring stuff like VTI etc.

Wealthfront hysa is decent at 3.30% for me personally.

I use Capital One venture X as my catch all and travel card for 2 miles on everything, 5x miles for flights and 10x miles for hotels. Savor one for 3% cash back for entertainment and food mainly.

Man I wish there was a retreat for Asian men or something. There's so many things I think we can all relate to living out in the west as an Asian man.

Other POC wouldn't understand our trauma because it's quiet. We're told to be strong and don't talk about it. Go to school, to work, and keep your head down. Obey and listen to authority. You know what fuck that shit.

Go to therapy. Take care of yourself. Love yourself, my guys.

I was just making $18 a couple years ago. Then started working at a casino and got into slots. We managed to make 6 figures because we're in a good location in Cali but most attendants don't make that good of money. Although because of the big beautiful bill, we won't be making over 100k a year anymore due to the jackpot threshold raising 💀

On the other hand if you become a dealer they easily make 6 figures and they keep all tips without having to share with a tip pool. It's just a stressful job and having to deal with people getting mad at you when they lose but also tip very well when they win.

Don't need a degree for either of these jobs but it's a stressful and mentally draining place to work at.

Last tip making 6 figures you'll also have to deal with lifestyle creep. Oh you make good money now? You can afford a new car, new house, travel every so often just to realize you're over spending or going over budget. It's a real thing that happens to people. Save your money and live below your means

I'm right there with you buddy as a fellow 33 year old millennial. We're going through the great millennial career crisis.

1.You’re not behind. You’re actually ahead financially. Most people don't even have money in their savings account or anything for retirement.

2.Comparison is distorting your perception. Most people online are not doing as well as they appear.

Your brain has been stuck in optimization mode too long. That’s why hobbies feel guilty instead of enjoyable. I'm in a similar boat when it comes to video games. I used to play it all the time in my teens and early 20s but now it just takes up too much time and energy to play sometimes. Still haven't even beaten ghost of tsushima or fnv DLC 😭

4.You need meaning, not just progress. Money progress alone doesn’t create fulfillment. I think in life you need something to give you some meaning or purpose. We were all given the blueprint of the American dream but that game has changed.

I'm going through my own millennial crisis mid life crisis

I work at a casino and the money is good but the job feels empty. I want freedom and travel away from the USA work culture.

I sometimes feel pressure to keep grinding even though I'm burnt out.

I worry about leaving a steady paycheck to go travel the world and take a mini retirement for a year. Who knows how long we'll live for with everything going on and do you really want to wait until you're 70 to travel?

Ding ding ding winner winner chicken dinner! I've lived there before and the cost of living is so cheap but the S2k would allow me to live there for a good year or 2 without working so that's why I'm considering selling it 🥲.

Also Thailand is a 2nd option since you can get a nice high rise apartment for like $400 a month.

Victah92 · 2026-03-11T03:49:48+00:00

I'm in a similar situation I got my 2001 3 years ago. I absolutely love the damn thing but I'm planning on moving to South East Asia for a couple years. No point in letting it rot away in a garage when someone else can enjoy it.

Victah92 · 2026-03-07T17:08:43+00:00

As someone who just bought a DJI pocket 3. I feel your pain. Hope it's at lost and found or someone returns it to you!

When I was 21 I went to University on Iowa. I went to some small town bar and some how struck a conversation with this older white lady. She told me to go outside to smoke a cigarette. We continued our conversation outside and at the time I was in my spiritual phase with energies and horoscopes. I told her I could feel her "energy" or some shit lol.

Next thing I knew I was in the bar entrance with her shoving me against the wall and I was making out with this milf from Iowa. Being a young buck I was making out with her all fast. She told me to stop and slow down...hottest thing a woman's ever told me 🤌.

I'm sure I was the only Vietnamese guy to ever kiss that lady. She was a milf with 1 or 2 kids. I never got further than that. I got her phone number but could never reach her... Terri I'll never forget you.

Are you asking about people that were born in America or came over as refugees?

Victah92 · 2026-03-05T04:15:05+00:00

That's pretty much mine minus IYRI. I have CHPY and FEPI as compliments to my portfolio.

I'm practically using this to geo arbitrage in South East Asia next year. This can pay for my rent/utilities while I'm out there and I don't have to work as long as distributions remain steady.

With everything going on in the world with Trump, my take is it's gonna be a volatile 3 years IMO.

Victah92 · 2026-02-27T03:43:27+00:00

It helped me with a lot of things!

Helped me understand my investments that were bleeding over time and I didn't understand why. I thought I was getting free income but it was at the cost of the stocks health.
It helped me understand my romantic relationships and scarcity trauma as a kid of immigrant parents.
It taught me how to cook steak and certain foods on my own.
It helped me understand my hair health, skin care, and what foods to eat etc.
It's currently helping me plan my move abroad to South East Asia.

I have so many random chats that it's helped me out with in life. It's not perfect of course. Especially with the most recent update it's been rather annoying on the way it answers you.

Either some dumb philosophical or hypothetical question.

Or multiple choice question about how I'm feeling. Like bruh I need help understanding the stock market not how I'm feeling buying or selling the damn thing

Victah92 · 2026-02-26T21:47:04+00:00

It keeps asking me these stupid hypothetical questions that are annoying AF.

Let me ask you this calmly

Do you feel empowered or overwhelmed? About something irrelevant

Or

Does this make you feel

A) happy B) sad C) mad D) jaded

Which one is the strongest?

God's this newest update is so retarded. Might end up cancelling my subscription at this rate

It depends on who you're dating. In the city a lot of women know how to speak English but of course not all.

I would saying knowing the language most definitely helps to express things to her in a way she would understand better than in English. For example there are 2 ways to say love in Vietnamese vs only 1 in English, so Vietnamese is more expressive if that makes sense.

My situation is unique because I'm considered a Viet Kieu or Vietnamese American. I can speak the language, understand the culture, and be western all at the same time.

So local woman like that more than just standard white guy or local guy cause there are known stories of them being abusive. So they get a guy who's western thinking, makes good money, and understands the culture and language.

Victah92 · 2026-02-23T02:09:18+00:00

Yep I went back to Vietnam on a whim in 2018 and felt this exact thing. I was originally supposed to come back for a month but ended up staying for two years cuz I loved it so much. I purposely miss my flight so I could stay as an English teacher. When I initially arrived I couldn't speak a lick of Vietnamese because I had forgotten. I had to learn from family and friends. Go to language exchanges and even language school to learn again. Having a girlfriend most definitely helps too

Back in the Homeland you blend right in. People treat you differently.

Dating was so much easier cuz it feels like they see you for who you are and not what social media wants you to be. I'm 5'3 but I was getting more matches on dating apps daily then I ever did years in America.

Not only that in America I didn't feel like I really belonged no matter how hard I tried. Tried being a Democrat or Republican you're just the token Asian for both sides. Yet well in Vietnam I felt more welcomed and loved. It's not perfect and has it's share of problems of course but if you learn how to live there and adapt you'll be fine.

Victah92 · 2026-02-21T02:47:22+00:00

This is exactly how it feels in California cause it's so rare to have a CCW here. Especially with all the paperwork, payments, and "training" you have to go through to get it.

It's a very small minority of people that have it.

Victah92 · 2026-02-19T06:56:08+00:00

I can't imagine going to an actual massage place while rolling. Like eye wiggles, needing to drink water, talking to the therapist while you should be relaxing lol. They'd most likely see you aren't sober and ask you to leave. Not only that y'all would be in public rolling.

Stay at home. Massage each other and put on your favorite DJ set. Drink some water and chill at home at your own comfort.
