Why I gave up my tech salary for a part time job 💰

I see so many posts about how to get a higher salary, how to save more money etc 💰💰 & I had this mindset when I was back in SG as a corporate tech girlie in CBD, but it got too much for me 🥲

I didn't like the comparison or the race to be earning more than you can or even others. I didn't like how expensive housing and living is - so I left with a part time job of $1k per month & it's been almost a year living in a little village in the south of France and I've never been happier! 🎈

And guess what? It was all I need to survive 🥹 it did take me half a year to get used to this lifestyle ngl after 20 years of chionging ingrained in you, it’s not easy to relax.

Yes, I won't have much savings but everyday I get to do fun things like gardening, exploring the country and learning a new language! I guess this is what I want my life to be instead of fighting for a BTO, selling my life to a company just for more money 🫣

I really encourage everyone to try to live overseas, experience how other people live their lives and see what makes them happy!

Thanks for reading all the way till the end, here’s more moving abroad content that you might like!
