Former MBC PD Kim Min-sik revealed the secret to becoming wealthy.

On the 13th episode of tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block', former PD Kim Min-sik shared his top-notch know-how on becoming a 'monthly millionaire retiree' (a retiree earning 10 million won in monthly revenue) after retirement.

On this day, former PD Kim Min-sik, who directed 'New Nonstop' and 'The Queen of Office', said, "When the pandemic hit in 2020 and everyone was struggling, I resigned from MBC. I wasn't even sure that working longer would make me better. When I met company juniors and took out my wallet to buy something, they would stop me. At that time, I would say, 'I'm an alchemist. I'm the kind of person who receives a pension to buy alcohol,' which drew laughter."

Regarding his retirement planning know-how, he said, "When I was 20, my goal was to become rich. To become rich, there are three paths: earning money, saving it, and growing it. But before those, there was something important: saving. Earning money is not entirely up to my will, but saving only requires controlling my desires."

He continued, "In your 20s, the key is to save; in your 30s, you must increase your value; and in your 40s, you should create a portfolio to generate diverse income streams and find an exit."

Former PD Kim revealed that during his university days, he saved half of his tutoring fees while working as a private tutor, and after graduation, he worked as a medical device salesperson, attended a foreign university's translation and interpretation graduate school, and eventually joined MBC as a PD through a chance opportunity. He emphasized, "My first paycheck as a PD was 800,000 won, which was equivalent to two days' pay as an interpreter. I found working as a PD so much fun. You must figure out which tasks bring you joy."
