Cool!
Bro, thank you for being so transparent with your career... It really helps us newer Devs see the goal we're trying to reach: Financial Independence
< 3
That you for that breakdown of the financial stuff. It is so amazing to have watch you go from a Jr. Developer starting a CZcams channel a few years ago, to now being such a huge success. Your journey is amazing. Great job!
I appreciate that!
Would you consider making a video breaking down your CZcams business? I’d love to learn what it takes to make it go (hours per week breakdown, monetization breakdown, your growth over time and lessons you’ve learned).
Congrats on your success. Keep it up you’re doing great!
Thank you so much for all of this and being so clear, honest concise and entertaining at the same time.
Keep it up Chris !
I've been following you since the beginning, and you've really motivated and encouraged me to start my own business. And I'll shortly be starting my own business. I appreciate you sharing your experience with us in order to motivate us. ✌Love from Turkey.
hey chris youre a great inspiration, love your content keep up the great work! i really look up to you! hoping maybe in 5 years ill be on your podcast 🥳
You got this!
You're doing excellent Chris. It feels like you're paying too much in taxes though. Get with a tax accountant. your business could spend that money on advertising costs, lowering your taxable profits, but growing your channel/brand. and even hiring more people
Last tip: for the cost of your grocery bill alone you can afford food delivery service, for like $300-500/month, and get fresh meals prepped and delivered to your place weekly. That will free up time to not cook/clean dishes or even grocery shop.
#staywinning!
Thanks for the advice bud. I’m meeting with an accountant this week.
Great video, Chris! I’m a senior dev also located in Las Vegas (southern highlands area). Been watching for awhile. Love the content and transparency.
proud and happy for you bro. I have been watching since the beginning...keep up the great work
Thanks for the support!
Dude! Thanks for the breakdown of expenses and taxes. It really shows you that even if people earn "huge sums of money" it doesn't actually mean that it's a lot of money... So much is just "wasted" for a lack of better words on taxes alone! And we are going to spend in areas to help immediate family (if you are a decent person 😅) and this eats away quickly too.
You are an inspiration my guy! I'm self-studying for a Web Dev too at the moment💪
I watch your channel since the very beginning and Im very happy you achieved all of this, you deserve it my friend :)
🙏
Thanks for the support since the beginning :)
@@RealChrisSean thanks a lot youre an inspiration (even if Im no longer able to post videos often haha)
Thanks for sharing
I appreciate your honesty, and would love to hear more about your business model. I'm not surprised you're making this much due to your charisma and personality.
I just started on zero to mastery cause of your Channel. Thanks for the motivation! I thought you lived somewhere else but if your in vegas, hope to see you around 🤘🏽
Goals. Congratulations man that amount in one month is an amazing milestone!
Man your such an inspiration bro your the reason I’m doing coding love your videos
WOOO
Dang Chris!! You have done a great job with your channel! One of the reasons I got into this field is because of you!
Hell yeah! Thanks for letting me know :D
Bro I found your channel few months ago and I've been steadily watching all of your videos, from California or wherever else. That's amazing you live in Las Vegas now, that's my hometown, born and raised. I am working so hard at 41 years old. I am putting everything into learning front end, every free moment I have is dedicated to code and education. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Congrats!!! Now to keep the growth rhythm!! :)
That's the plan! It's not going to be easy.
1st to Comment…Chris you are an inspiration. Keep it up. 👍🏾
What’s up Chris I’m a Vegas local would love to get some of your knowledge, love the channel btw!!
Thanks for being so open about how much the earnings potential can actually be. I know that money isn't everything, can't buy everything either, but there's nothing wrong with making a lot of money either. I know there's a lot of people who would get jealous and stuff about how much money we make, that's a lesson I've learned myself when I went from making $15/hr to $17/hr and my coworkers got jealous, which isn't a lot lol. That being said, I am happy for you and I believe we should all motivate each other to keep bettering themselves. Keep up the good work man!
The quality of these videos are great!
Ty!!!
This is Awesome, Thanks for being so Genuine 👍🏿🤑
Hi Chris should I learn web design (Figma, photoshop, adobe xd, sketch ) + web development (HTML, CSS. javascript) to work as a web developer? as a web developer are you designing a website, Chris?
keep grinding Chris!
Will do man you too.
Hey Chris, dope video man! At your developer job are you w-2 or 1099?
W2
Congratulations chris you deserve it! I'm from France and I'm working to get there one day!
🙏🙏
You got this!
Man you're an inspiration, currently love my web dev job making about 70k but being in cali you know thats not a lot and aspiring to grow bigger just like you
Hey we all start from somewhere :D
So happy for you bro. ♥
If you make around 43k per month, why not buy a house? I understand that you might need to relocate for new job opportunities in the future, but you are spending almost 1k per month on your parents' rent... why not get a mortgage and buy a house in their city? I really think you could end up having much bigger profits with a few adjustments to your spending plan. But anyway this is a great achievement, congrats!
I’ll buy a house after I’m married. I’m in no rush to buy a house atm.
if you listen to his podcasts on spotify i believe he spoke about why hes renting at the moment and how he lowkey regrets it bc its so expensive but i think i remember him stating that he is in no rush and how hes living a little cheaply because he sold his porche
When I'm a developer I'm buying one of them hoodies, your merchandise is top tier
i should move to US lol... nice dogs... Great Video Chris Sean...I like how u clear about your finaces as a tech professional
I like your shirt 😆!
I am watching your channel since I was a junior developer until now a mid software developer FROM PHILIPPINES.
My old 18 i am learning codeing which age i going to work the company can reply
Good Luck and Take Care of yourself. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
#1 priority Ty
I am fu**ing crazy for the content just like this, life stile and management and......
great job bro
Thanks!
I just moved from Las Vegas to the Philippines. Everything here is so much cheaper. Housing and rent prices in Vegas is too high and the weather is so hot. You should invest in real estate here in the Philippines. I want to know how to make money with just a laptop. I am about to buy a Macbook Air M2 i will trade in my iPad Air 5. So I can start coding & Copywriting. How do I apply for job opportunities?
10:35 At least you don’t have to pay state income tax in Nevada, on a $60K salary in California I’m near a 10% tax rate
Good Stuff. It's very important to be financially literate and to know your cashflow.
It sure is!
Could you save more and earn less /work less? Do you pay an accountant or financial planner? Cheers!
I could but it's not just about the money. I am having so much fun doing this. I have an accountant but looking for someone that specializes on YT.
What about savings? And retirement accounts?
Just wondering, why not pay off your car? Paying interests is a waste of money.
Bro you live in Vegas? Dang that’s dope! I live up by downtown summerlin
Nice! :)
Are you investing in stocks or anything?
mutual bonds
Omg im new in Tech in a bootcamp now and I live in Vegas too!
@Chris Sean you give hope...You have left over more than I make in a year on disablity...I will be a SWE...
Shout out from NYC 🤙🏾
YO
Bro should I go to college or be a self taught programmer is it possible and is it worth plz lmk brother thanks 😊
How old are you? That can help determine what you need to do.
@@RealChrisSean iam 24 brother plz guide me should I self learn or do I need a degree plz lmk brother thank you 🙏
First off thanks for making this video in general, know it has to be uncomfortable putting your finances out there 🙏🏾
🙏
At What age you started coding ?
28
Now this is what we call Happiness 😂😂😂wish to be like you Mr Chris
Nah just peace of mind lol
Holy moly the food bill! Can pay for meal prep service. Software Engineer money! You deserve it!
🙏🙏
Now I'm actually learning Python 🐍👨💻🐍 after 3 years that I tried learning HTML and CSS!!
You actually have helped me out to start the code journey!! 😃👍
how do you enjoy life if you work 16 hours aday?
I work around 11 hours and then I sleep, literally no time to do anything, and I get minimum wage cuz im in a 3rd world country, so how do you manage to enjoy your life?
Because I actually love what I do. It doesn’t feel like work at all.
It’s like asking someone how can they watch tv or game 12-18 hrs per day. It’s because it doesn’t feel like work. It’s fun. :)
@@RealChrisSean I aspire to be like you even though I am in Syria-Damascus, probably the worst place to live in in the modern history.. but hopefully one day I can become like you, I have learnt HTML and I am now in the middle of CSS, I work and study and I suffer mental illnesses due to the war and the stuff I saw, and I have epilipsy, but I am getting better and more ambitious, It has been a long time since I ever had fun or felt like I am enjoying life, so that is why I asked you that question, and I am 17 years old, you are one of my role models, thank you very much for the content.
@@mrcrush3r534 I’m sorry bud. We don’t have a choice with where or when we’re born. But we were all given the choice to live life once. I can only imagine how hard it is there. Keep your head up. Keep trying new things. Do whatever it takes survive each day.
Look at small wins every week if not every month. Don’t give up whatever it is. Wether if it’s in tech or not… keep going.
@@RealChrisSean You're a humble good man, I appreciate the words,may God bless you and reward you more in this life and the hereafter.
I can't wait till I graduate college with my software engineering degree so I can finally get into tech and build my business from scratch ... I wanna live lavishly asshell and take care of my family
Hey brother, if you have one of the Verizon unlimited plans Disney+ should be free from there which will save you $10.
Oh yeah you're right lol
Dude, all well and good. You need to creat that tax right off better. Hope your accountant is telling you how to plan better as get better tax break. Otherwise IRS is there to rap the middle income. If he is not giving you better info, change the CPA.
Why don’t you purchase a home with that salary?
Why should I when I don’t need to?
6:41
Wait, wait, wait!!
16-18 hours a day!!??
🤔🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳😳😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
🫢
Why wouldn’t you pay off your car if you made that much? Also like most new business owners you realize what actually is your biggest expense now and find ways to eliminate it. Mastering finance is next
I don’t need my business income so invest all of it back into YT.
I never tried to turn my YT into a business. Only recent (2 months ago). I’ll pay off my car in cash in a few months.
For me it’s all about investing into what will save me time and help me create the best content possible. Than everyone else will follow.
@@RealChrisSean when you listed out your expenses do you still not realize what your real biggest expense is? Most people get tripped out because they think they have to pay this and don’t see it as an expense … if you understand what I mean
I'll save that
Definition of need
Interesting sponsor . Reminds me of blockchain (NFT’s) tbh
I really enjoyed watching this while I ate some bbq chips.
Not potatoes chips? :(
@@RealChrisSean Idk how you knew lol, but yeah, they're called HIPPEAS (made with chickpeas).
My first time trying them today. They're super good. :-)
I pay 2k for a 2br 2b apartment in Vegas, you definitely got a good deal on that house.
Thanks bud. And it’s in summerlin haha. 🙏
@@RealChrisSean Nice, love that area!
Pet insurance is so worth it
43000 before tax right ?
Yup
@@RealChrisSean aah thanks i think i missed that in the video
Yo that’s a dope monthly salary bro,you hiring interns ?
No I'm not sorry
lol expensive 220 insurance, laughing in canadian insurance
Yeah I’m thinking a Honda Type -R
No idea how to drive stick shift :(
it's your money.... so whatever you do with your money there is nobody to tell you anything
Woow Christ that's a lot of money, I wish to be like you some day🥺
Chris puts out these videos so we can learn and go even further than him... He's showing us what's possible out here . Be inspired and let's make it happen!!
@@ALee-Acting-TV that's true
100%. Took me 6 years to get here. I want y’all to get there even sooner.
I make 2 million a month
🫣
$43k hard-working dev 🤑
I mean it's your money so do whatever you want but still this is a slap in the face for basically anyone else, it's insane how wealthy people justify their spendings.
What part?
@@RealChrisSean1000$ a month eating out which is over 30$ a day, leasing a car for 1000$, energy cost of 400$ (An 8 people family could live off of that, at least we do)
But again, your money.
The bulk was business expenses. The only extravagant items were the dogs and the Porsche. 🤷♀️
My dogs are so freaking expensive lol.
I was pretty sure you had a tesla. Seems like the tech you would buy lol
Joined discord..... But it said I need my phone number to verify... Just wondering why??? Thanks
That's awesome! I'm really in need of 3k for my school tuition
♥♥♥ I'm A Proud College Dropout ♥♥♥
157,000 views in the past month. How are you making this much money?
Brand deals
@@RealChrisSean how many subscribers do you suggest one should have before pursuing brand deals?
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Make the Philippines great
🫡🇵🇭
Ok in this market you made money on the Porsche admit it
I did lmao.
Wtf you make that much in a month! You have no worries
I do. Fortunately nothing financially related.
@@RealChrisSean That's the most important lol most of your income comes from CZcams or the devops job?
I make more from YT than tech. I can only imagine how much more when I hit 200k subs lol
@@RealChrisSean damn! And you don't sell courses or anything? Once you hit 200k, that's going to be stupid money. You are rich rich in my eyes lol
Just a fellow Christian rolling through. Ima leave this here and roll out……..”Tithes and offering” ………….
I honestly don’t attend church anymore and not giving a church $4,300/m even if I did.
But even if I did, should I even be telling the world how much I give to my church?
You're 34 and I'm just leaning to code at 34 . . . /=
My manager learned at 37. He’s 43 and makes 1 mil per year now
wtf that's my yearly salary as a web dev 😥
I used to make 45k as a dev. In time bud.
@@RealChrisSean well that's encouraging! Constantly working on my skills, I'll get at a more satisfactory level one day! Thank you! 😀
Taxes though 🥵
I know right lol
you would have luxury for less in the uk
I believe that lol
@@RealChrisSean I mean it seriously, over here rent is 1.5k for a similar home and other utilities are cheap considering how much u are spending.
Oh no I genuinely believe you. Lol
I bet you $100 Graham Stephen Will make a video about your video.
I bet you $100 he won’t haha. I don’t think I share enough info on what I do with my money. 🫣
Smart move to dump California just for tax reasons
aren't you married?
