    He is so genuine and so happy he has done so well. And his line of "breadwinner by guilt not by choice" I'm sure that resonates with a lot of people. Hopefully he reaches many milestones and can help lots of people.

    "Are you gonna be a husband?"
    "...I'm gonna be a dad."
    I absolutely adore this answer. Warmed my heart.

      I would never let my younger cousins feel like they had to dig me out of a hole I dug up from the get go, but it seems a lot of us have experienced this from our families and it makes us feel this anxiety to be not even just good enough for us but good enough to provide for literally everyone in our life just to prove we care, at that point it's more than care it's taking on this responsibility that was never ours. smh

      The problem is which generation will bear having to be the breadwinner bc of old folks AND not also be like them who passes the brunt to future kids. Gen MZ will have to be the sacrificial lambs.

      With a close knit family like hers, its usual to be still be a bread winner despite having built their way out.

    I started watching Bretman when he had 100K followers in IG. His videos were so funny. I don't know why I feel so proud of him and his whole family like I know them personally. I love that he is setting a good example to everyone. Being true to self, & loving your family.
