If you're a young guy thinking about moving, here's what you you. In this video, I'll answer all your questions: where to get money, all the pros and cons, the pitfalls of living alone, everything you need to know, like how blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. I will tell you everything that has accumulated in me in this video. And at the end of the video there will be a room tour and I will show how I That's why the video turned out to be as rich and interesting as possible. Let's go. So, let's start, of course , with the question that interests everyone. Where do you get the money at such an age? Who are you anyway ? Yes, I had a my history. If you're interested in going into more detail, you can take a look. created my YouTube channel, and from that time on, I worked every day, made little by little I started to succeed, little by little the channel grew. And now the channel has 607,000 subscribers. And it’s as if I live from it. I now have a YouTube channel network with a million subscribers. That means 607,000 on YouTube, 225,000 on Telegram, 144,000 on TikTok, and another 100,000 on another account. I earn money from this and I kind of live a life of pleasure. That comes out to 10,000 bucks a month. And this money is enough to live like this. But let's go back to the past. Ah, in fifth grade, right when I created my channel, my workplace looked like this . I didn't have my own computer. I was working on my dad's computer. That is, when my dad freed up the computer, I quickly sat down and had an hour or two to record some videos. That's how it is. Yes, the first videos were recorded on my dad’s computer and posted there too. At first I moved like this, that is, for about a year. Then they gave me my computer, and I had my own work place. This is already much better than the first option. As you can see, the first option was completely inconvenient, no privacy, no convenience. But here it’s already better, when I had my own work place, my own computer. So I lived with my parents, well, obviously, but I also lived with my sister in the same room, imagine that. That is, there were two workstations: my sister’s workstation and next to it my workstation with my computer. It was as inconvenient as possible for you to understand. But I think it's clear why. And there was no door in the room, and, well, that was, well, generally inconvenient. But I was so passionate about the idea of working on YouTube that, despite the less-than- ideal circumstances , I still worked, made videos, studied, and my channel slowly grew. 10,000 subscribers, 20,000 subscribers, 30,000 subscribers. So, winter was in their twenty-third year, well, from I had exactly 30,000 subscribers then. And all this was done precisely then by the workplace. Then the channel grew even more. That is, there are still 40,000 subscribers, 50,000 subscribers, 6070 and somewhere around 70-80,000 subscribers - this is the stage of exactly twenty-third year, somewhere in the summer, that is, in the summer, in the summer we move to a parents, but I already have my own personal room, that is, it’s a three-room apartment. I live separately, and my sister lives separately. And it's already convenient. You close the door and work. And that's all, kai. And I had my own work place, my kai. And I had my own work place, my own room. And I spent most of my time exactly like this. I felt as comfortable as possible, everything was as school got in the way a little, it took up a little time, but that was already great, it worked great. That's how I worked too. Next 100,000 subscribers, subscribers. Notice how the numbers changed to, well, multiples, the growth went subscribers. And so, with 500,000 subscribers, it’s like the ninth grade, that is, this is the summer of 25 , the ninth grade has finished. I make a decision to leave school, not to go further, not to get a higher that you should do this, this is just how it was for me, because my results are impressive and I can do it. So , in short, we took all the documents and there was no tenth or eleventh higher education. Here. Ah, during this period of time I also bought my BMW fourth series and drove to graduation in it. At that time I was still living with my parents. Well, that's how it is . Then in the summer I work, and in the fall I also work like this in my room. Like everything's okay. Now we move to 2026. I wrote down some ambitious goals for myself for this year. And in order to achieve them, I need to earn even more money. I'm earning $10,000 a month now, but I wrote down in my plan that I need to, well, sell this BMW 4 Series a little more cooler, maybe an M5 and an F90, maybe an E-Class. Well, in short, I won’t Well, this is roughly how it all looks. And to do this, ten a month is not enough. And in order to get there , to have an income of more than $10,000 a month, uh, I needed to radically change something in my life. I chose the option of moving out from my parents' place. I rented this apartment. Oh, of course, it hit the budget a little, but look at the background. Now I can record these videos. This, by the way, is part of the plan. Uh, the plan is a disaster. You've noticed that my grown significantly in the media space. Well, in short, we come, look at the apartment, and we like everything, the parents basically agree. I just take a pack like this, bam, I lay it out and that's it, basically, I live. And no questions, like, why are you 16 years old there, like, you can’t? This didn't happen because in my country where I live it's possible. Like, in my country it's possible. If you are 16 and your parents agree, you your country where you live, but if you look, it seems to be possible there. Therefore, the main thing is that you have money for the summer and that you are 16 years old. Basically, that's all. Where can I get some money? More about this a little later. Now I’ll tell you my experience, how I, well, how I live in general, how I live, Firstly, you have more responsibility, you are in charge of the entire household, that is, whether it’s tidy or not, let’s say, when there’s a mess, you can’t record videos, for example. And you have to keep track of all of this so that your room is always tidy and, well, you responsibility for it and clean it up. It’s not quite obvious, but it also become more responsible in your work . It's not obvious, but yes, and point. Ah, you have more stopping you. You can record whenever you want, do whatever you want, say whatever you want, even shout what to do, in short, whatever you want. And because of this, a little more money came in. As for this everyday life, cleaning there is, in fact, not difficult. It’s like I don’t have so many things that there’s always some kind of mess here. No, I just laid everything out and in principle it’s fine. but it’s not as scary as they tell you about how oh, byt, it’s so difficult. You need to wash and iron something. But in fact it’s not complicated. Well, my job is a little bit more complicated. Therefore, the fact that you can wash things there, well, if you figure it out, you can wash them. Food. Well, personally, I rarely cook for myself. I eat more in restaurants and, well, of course, it hits the budget a little, but, in principle, it’s okay. Like, if you cook, then made myself an omelet there, I made this there, I made oatmeal and that's it, you live normally. They are really scaring you, like, saying that it’s difficult, but in reality it’s not difficult at all. And like, well, I lived for a month, I did n’t even really feel all of this. Like, well, it's okay. In terms of money, in terms of money, all this really takes a lot. If you want to live alone, you really need to earn some serious money. So how much money do I have in total for this life? Well [music] a few thousand bucks for an apartment and a thousand bucks for food. wondering right now, like, where does $1,000 go on food if you're skinny? As I said, I eat in restaurants, and so, well, that's how it is. Well, it's , I still ate somewhere around 1,000 bucks worth . So I just had to pay extra rent for my apartment . And in principle it's normal. With my income, I can afford to pay a few thousand bucks to live alone, so why not? If you want to move, you need to earn some serious money. Like, if you're making, well, Like, if you're making, well, some money there, but it's not much, then it's too really going well for you, when you have fat sums, then you can move. That is, somewhere around 100,000, 200,000, 300,000. Here you can think about it, when you have less, you don’t need it. And if you don’t earn anything at all, then you don’t need to think about moving at all. Because if you don't earn money while living with your parents, you won't start earning money when you move out . Start there and continue here. Something like that . Where to get money anyway? The best way is American also had a separate video released on my channel about American YouTube. If interested in this area, visit my Telegram channel, link in the description. American YouTube.
