About Us
"Think of me as a test subject for my viewers—I'm willing to take on the financial and life decisions that others might be hesitant to try. By sharing my experiences and discussing my ideas online, I hope to provide a safe space for people to learn from my journey without taking the risks themselves."

Chris Chong, 2024
This approach is at the heart of my channel's motto: 'I say, I do, I show.' After leaving my corporate job of eight years, starting my own business, and making temporary moves to remote cities for work, I document my journey across various social media platforms like YouTube. My goal is to show others that it is possible to make bold life changes. Along the way, I share personal finance strategies on topics such as credit cards, retirement planning, F.I.R.E., good savings account deals, trading platforms, property, and other nuanced financial matters relevant to my own adulting journey.
I've also built a closely-knit community through Telegram, where over 10,000 members come together to discuss ideas and share the best tips for improving our financial lives.
Please keep in mind that my opinions are not financial advice; they are based solely on my personal situation and experiences, which may lead to different outcomes for others.
