Ep 122 Part 1: The Replacement Son Who Refuses to Drive a Porsche?! | Peter Yong (aka Mr MoneyTV the Personal Finance YouTuber)

Hey STIMIES! It’s time to meet the Replacement Son who refuses to drive a Porsche: Peter Yong aka Mr Money TV. One of Malaysia’s most beloved personal finance YouTubers with 153k subscribers! It’s one thing to start another YouTube channel; quite another to turn it into a thriving 7-figure business in Southeast Asia, but Peter has done just that. And today, we dive deep & personal, touching on things like how: 🔥 Peter was born to be a replacement son, which severely affected his confidence & self-esteem 🔥 His father was a gangster!! Who taught Peter to clean his gun when he was just 5 years old?! 🔥 He thought money was evil. Until he realised it wasn’t 🔥 He was thriving in his RM 250,000/year insurance job then gave it all up & sold his BMW, to go all-in with his YouTube channel. Just when his son was born. Peter has so many gems to share that I had to cut this interview into 2 parts! This is Part 1. I hope you enjoy it!
