WHAT TO DO AFTER COLLEGE

- Confused about life after college? Don't know what to do after graduation? If you are 22 years old, regardless if you’re graduating from college or not, there are two things you should keep in mind. The first is to acknowledge that you are entering some of the greatest years of your life. The second is that this is the moment when you don’t go practical-don’t take the “safe” route. This is NOT the time to get the job Mom always wanted you to get. This is NOT the time to try to maximize as much money as you can make so you can save up to buy a sick ride. This IS the time, however, to realize that you have a five-year window (three for some, eight for others) for you to attack the life that you want to win.

Life Pro Tip, go hiking I swear when you're alone in the mountains there's some strange things that go through your mind and these things make you realize a shit ton of things about you and what REALLY matters.
totally agree with this one. When you are alone, all tired and somewhere far away from everyone else and nobody can hear your stupid problems, that time is magical for self exploration. When you're tired, there is no energy for bullshit, so you see real yourself and with that comes realisation what you want from life...
Thank you for the tip Franklin.
Franklin Park thank you so fking much for the piece of advice, i heed it
is there any wifi :) you know the Young generation needs snapchat and fb...all the time.
Or go out for a late night walk to clear your head.
I want to cry so hard. This man makes me believe in myself more than anyone would
You got this!
so what was his point? what do to after graduate.
how is life now?
@@dragonjay7277 he meant that you still have a 5 yr window to risk it all for a dream you have. The world out there is really difficult and hateful and will chew you to bones if are naive enough to just enter without thinking (means just get any job for the big money.) He rather advises to live a bit scarce instead with roomates but try to get the dream job if possible. And even if you fail in that window, try to find a "enough" job with enough money and enough work load. No need for extra too much.
I can say I'm highly blessed seeing this at 21 yrs old
👍
Its frustrating being tied down, about to graduate, and watching this at 21 😶
@@wolfloversas being tied down meaning? By parents or by your own psyche?
YOOOO SAME HERE 👌🏼👌🏼📈📈📈
Seeing this in high school is even more a blessing
That awkward moment when you realize you learned more from subscribing to GaryVee than 4 years of college...

HAHAAH THIS
Damn u didnt get simped in the comments , impressive
But for that other thing too...you ain't gonna get a chance to hook up with 3 teammates unless youre 20
And rename yourself as Matty and start a band called The 1975(again)..

I should say. Now I’m 32 and I’ve been searching for that 3000$ job when I was young. However, I suddenly realized that everything’s fine even when I seek my own purpose and leave the job. Now I get paid more than ever and am happy as fuck. What he’s talking is absolutely true. Thx for good videos.
I glad that u r living ur life the way u want.
I'm 17 and still in highschool, but I feel that I could do and achieve more. Thanks to the motivation of u guys give.

I graduated with a science degree...started a business right after graduating and my parents are Soo disappointed lol I showed my parents this video and they said Gary has no idea what he's talking about 😂 my parents believe school is the only way and I have to stop listening to them! It's hard enough focusing on your biz without haters lol I have haters in my own home 😂😂
Respect.
Keep doing you

"İf you are in 20's, nobody will even luckier than you"
This sentence blow my mind because ı am 21.
Damn, just missed it. I'm 18
I'm turning 22
Naw he said if you’re “ graduating “ with no idea what to do then nobody has been luckier than you
Same
Why?
Just graduated and everyone's starting to get their life together, and here I am getting rejected from jobs, but thank you Gary Vee, I definitely needed to hear this!
After college, (Two year associate), i went straight into the trades, paid off what little I owed to the school the first year. Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly rich, I never went a day hungry.
🙌
@@tailgunner2 ah I wish. Even getting a trade after I still won't get hired...
@@tailgunner2 do you think college was worth it for you?
@@Lily-ow5wm In my case, the course was related. I took electrical engineering technology, which was more technician level. After that, I went into the electrical trade.
I highly recommend a two year program as a first step rather than dive head first into a university. Way more affordable, easier to change courses, and many of them offer certification programs as well.
I'm 24 years old and I just graduated and I have no idea what to do in my life. I love this man!
Same here
Same...and the fact that i have no clue what to do and seeing all my friends doing stuff that earn money...it feels like i am just a waste of space in the world....
@@cottonlarry8470 Same dude, same! I thought I was the only one. But hey, we're gonna make it some day, we're gonna do great!
@@cottonlarry8470 You aren't a waste of space.
@@quinnherden why
I grew up in a very bad environment and spent my teenage years being a worthless thug, but I realised I wanted to do something more with my life so I did the swedish version of SAT. I did it well enough to get into a nice university and education (master of science in industrial engineering and management), but it was hard seeing as I never had studied seriously before and had to learn the high school stuff as well as the things on our curriculum. I failed the first year "epically", but I retook all classes and got through it. My grades were horrible at first, but I will graduate next month with really good grades; a real struggle I might add.
I was a late bloomer though. When all the 24 year olds started to leave the university, I entered it. It took time to mentally get from being a low-life who more or less ignored life and whatever it entails to become someone who enjoys life, wants to learn and grow and, instead of wasting time, gets things done. I'm 30 now and behind most of my kin in that sense, but I'm working part time just to get enough money for rent and food so I can spend as much time as possible to grow my business and doing what I want to do.
I'm confident that it's not too late; that I will succeed and do what I want to do. My "five year window" is just beginning even if I'm "too old" for some people.

Watched this in May 2017 when I graduated uni. It gave me the drive I needed. Since graduating, I worked my way up and now make $170k. But I hate my job (software engineer) and I plan to make a career switch when I’m 26. Every time I decide to do something big and daring, I rewatch this. Gary, I hope you realize how thankful I am for seeing this when I was young
same after getting an engineer degree i dont see my self doing this after 10 years.
@@memunasillah4642 and i am here to see what to do after i graduate from software engineering in next june...
why do you hate being a software engineer? thats the field im considering on doing and would like to know your experience and thoughts on it
Omg exactly the same story. I just took a job that I don't like because I wanted to be independent. Now I'm quitting without any idea of what I'm going to do next. It's scary but it's also liberating. I do get carried with the thought that my friends are earning better money or having a better life, but then I realize that's not what I want.
Well... U missed the point
Hey I'm 22! This year I started a CZcams channel I actually like, I started to write articles on medium and I'm finally trying to sell some on my smaller paintings online. Because of my chronic illness I will never be able to gring 18 hours a day, but I will give my best effort to making my dreams come true and having fun doing it. Thanks for the advice, I will reach out to a media team and try to get an internship and learn from them.

I graduated college just last year. I am 29 now. It took me 10 long years to finish college because I basically didnt like the degree my mother wanted me to take in college so I really had a hard time finishing it. Now, I kinda have an idea on what I really want to do and explore ever since. But it really is scary taking that huge leap of faith, to believe in what I am yet to do and achieve. I do hope it's not yet too late to start this journey. I do hope I succeed.
How are you doing now?
Hey! I hope you are doing fine right now, sending love :)
How are you doing bro??. Keep smile and enjoy wherever you are doing right now
@@cyrisrigor1536 I'm actually doing good now, beginning to figure out and follow through on what i really wanted to do. 💛
@@devindhoojeet905 I'm living the life I wanted now after almost 3 years of posting this comment. Everything's much clearer and aligned now. I actually didn't want to comment when you checked on me before coz I was still in the process of figuring things out but hey, the journey was so worth it. 🙌
Gary, I'm 21 and about to graduate in a couple weeks. There is so much I want to do with my life and I know I won't achieve it if I work a 9-5. This is my promise to you that I will take every risk possible to achieve my goals... Thank you for this message!!
Same bro same
Yeah man, I just graduated and I realize I don’t want to work a 9-5 for anyone else.
I plan on doing the same exact fucking thing. We’re winning this game of life
Much love for this. I'm 24 and I just left my full time corporate job last week to follow my own passion, time to get it!
YES, get that shit!!
Congrats man :D what is your passion I'm curious
Haha thanks! Going back to fitness and health! Helping people get results through sustainable actions and motivating people to becoming the best versions of themselves!
Hey man! Well I have always shown entrepreneurial traits as a kid, selling sweets, chinese takeaway after schools, etc etc so they had faith in me. Lucky for me they have my happiness as their number 1 priority and they knew i wasn't in the corp world!
Daniel Yeung great that you are taking the risks now! This is the best time to do it as he says before you have responsibilities. I have spent my 20s feeling obligated...largely by parental expectations...to jump into a "safe" job.
I’m 21 and yes. The grind begins now. Today. Right now. Thank you.
Aakansha Gupta so it's been 4 months what happened ?
hhhhhhhh Don't do that
It's been 8 months now! tell us what happened?
@Zohal Azizi Maybe she's too busy with the hustle game to the point she doesn't have time to check youtube's notifications. We should do like her and drown to the hustle and grind as well
@Zohal Azizi least wait for next 5 years, come back and ask her again.
I was lucky enough to watch this video 6 years ago as I was graduating at 23. The message was always in the back of my head since then. I moved countries, completed my studies, worked at different companies, gained an incredible amount of experience, became a different person, and still haven't forgotten this video, still grinding with hunger. Thanks man for these life changing 5 minutes.
Happy for u bro! Hope I will be able to do the same
I'm 21, but I'm also married. At least my husband is working and tells me that I should do what I want and follow my dreams. Although I do feel guilty when he is working at his job and I just work part time. But I hope that I can build income streams for our family.
I think you guys have to build passive income so that you can chase your dreams without worry.
Wow! I am not married but I definitely find myself in a very similar situation... i understand the struggle of dreaming of being able to generate a bit more just because helping family is the dream so many people long for...
Let me tell you something --> never give up on that desire. It is hard, but very much possible 💪🏻.
I'm commenting because I actually found myself realizing that I needed to move quicker so that I could get to a point where I could actually help family and I found the most awesome fell-out-the-sky video about a month ago.
Lol I dont wanna sound annoying, but this video I found really helped me and it sounds like it could help you as well.
I'll drop it here since there's no way to dm on CZcams 😂.
Regardless of whether or not you think it could help you... Hey! Just expressing your thoughts here is really good progress
Best of luck to you

I'm not in my early twenties, I'm 28, but God damn do I feel like I have the spirit of a 20 year old. I think this video has made me decide to quit my corporate job in a nice city to move back to my small hometown, get a much easier job, and just start hustling at my dreams of becoming an entrepreneurial artist :)
You are what you feel inside
Love to hear that. I’m turning 26 in a couple weeks and have certainly learned plenty of things I don’t want to do since I graduated 2 years ago... good luck to you! Ya gotta follow your passions
Good for you, keep the spirit :)
This video needs to be heard worldwide.
I’m 23 and this is the first year I became my own business owner and did my first $8,500 day
Best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life was believing in myself
what kind of business did you start? just curious :)

I’m 22, just graduated from the college. I’ve been watching this same video again and again to sync in with the advice. Now when I’m actually graduated I can really relate, how hard is the world outside, forcing us to live the laterally -structured life and goals. When we have our passion and dreams set up against the dogma of structured ones. And Here I’ve decided to go completely uncertain about the terms of life following my passion. Trying hard to be process oriented and being happy with the moment itself. Doing what I love. Thank you Gary for such life changing advice 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Graduated in lockdown, and tbh Idk what exactly I wanna do, but I love training in parkour, martial arts and calisthenics, and I've been training at them hard lately
hope you can find what you really love
Wait.. so you graduated with a 4 years for absoutely nothing? What did u major
assassin Highschool
People do CZcams videos in this kind of stuff maybe you should try that.
🙌
At 21 years old, I decided to not follow my classmates who were straight trying to find a job. I had a strong desire for traveling and decided to leave France to go one year hitchhiking in NewZealand and meeting tones of people’s from everywhere in the world. In just 2 years (I’m 23 now) it’s insane how much I feel I changed and grow. Not just that traveling opened my mind, it help me to know myself ! And learn English, and get experience in other industry, and discovering meditation, and learning so much things through people and books, and gave me the drive to start my business in video. Today, just 2 years after, I’m in Australia, willing to travel over the world now for at least the next 5 years. At the time I’m saving money working in my industry, video and social media, enjoying my hobby which has been to create a CZcams channel about my travel, and just living the dream. Thanks Gary for saying this to everyone, I really believe that following what drive you is the key for fulfilment, but more than that, you will learn that when you believe hard in something, and that everyday you try even to do a little things in that way to achieve your goal, you always get something from it. Not that you will for sure get what exactly you want, but you will embrace a journey that will make you proud of yourself and gives you hips of opportunities to discover yourself. I wish you a good day everyone, and hope that this kind of videos can be life changing for you ❤️
good to hear that! Have fun in Australia mate!
How do you get the money to travel ?

2.Make that passion into profession
3.There's no best version but I'll try to improve as much as possible.
And last but not the least, Keep faith on me during the entire journey.

thanks for the tip big sis...❤️im going to start college soon...needed this
I’ve graduated from college one and half year ago, but so happy to watching this video within my best 5 years.
Thank you so much from Japan!
Gary made me feel like I have nothing to worry about as a 22 yr old. I just have to adopt the right mindset and realize I could do whatever I set my mind to! Thanks Gary!
I'm 19, not going to college nor do I want to, literally the day after high school I started a door to door sales job, worked 15 hours a day... Did this for about a month. After that month, got another sales job going b2b selling credit card processing machines, did that for about a month. After this, got another sales job selling cable tv out of huge retail stores.Through this 3-4 month period, fresh out of high school, gained valuable hustler experience ... developing the hustle, the mindset I needed to pursue my dreams, developing empathy to understand how to talk w/ & to people, etc. About 3 months ago, I quit all jobs (learned all I needed to learn) started my own thing (creative(s) marketing)... From the jump, it wasn't easy... Now, with God, the mindset... So much is happening, RAPIDLY, in the span of 6-10 months. AND THIS ISN'T EVEN THE BEGINNING... The resources/knowledge I'm now being exposed to, the work ethic I'm developing... Man... Thanks God & thanks Gary 😂
I come back to this every once in a while to lift my spirits
I came to this realization recently and have been doing my best to achieve the life I want. I can always do better but the person I was 6 months ago I almost wouldn't recognize. Im not chasing the job I want but the life I want to live and thats leading me towards jobs. Awesome video.
Thank you, GaryVee! I’m 27 years old and pursuing my dream of running an IT support and education company. This video was encouragement to keep going hard. Thank you so much!

It amazes me time and time again how a person who is in constant action manages to produce videos that will help people mentally, successfully Gray
I first saw this video on Facebook 5 years ago. It hits home now just as hard. I love you man, you're a very special person
Which is why I'm cutting out the middle man and skipping college. I taught myself graphic design so I can be self employed and go on to open a studio.
***** awesome that makes me feel more confident in my decision
how did you teach yourself graphic design? I'm interested in and do better when I'm self taught but how did you know when you where proficient in what you were teaching yourself?
***** Exactly. thats what ive been doing.
Noordeen Abunamous Start by really getting into the graphic design world. Follow a bunch of instagram pages, google your ass off, watch a lot of youtube videos (Roberto Blake and Will Paterson), then create a foundation by learning about design principles and typography, then learn how to use adobe illustrator and eventually photoshop and indesign via tutorials. Also, get a lynda.com free trial and see what they have to offer and then consider signing up for a monthly subscription. I know the introduction to graphic design helped me alot at the beginning. Once you created your foundation try imitating other peoples work and then experiment with logo design or whatever you plan on doing. Then create a list of fake company's and maybe some real company's via friends and family and WORK YOUR ASS OFF and create a portfolio. Always be learning my friend.
I’m 19 but it’s a blessing receiving this 🙏🏾🔥
me too man!
yeah im glad i seen this i actually blew my refund check on trying to pursue my music career and failed miserably but after seeing this ive realized i still have a chance

I'm 20 this year(in college) and running my own startup to bridge the gap between university students and the workplace. My startup got selected to exhibit at RISE Hong Kong 2017 and I'll be flying there from Malaysia this July. I hope I get a chance to meet you as you will be attending too. You have been one of my biggest inspirations!!
wow
Congrats Diana, damn that's awesome! Inspirational asf. Keep grinding and goodluck!
Thank you
Hey I’m in the same situation! I’m 20 years old and have already started a startup for college students to find, view, attend, and create parties and events on an exclusive server. Except you are much more ahead of me😂 I’ll get there though check out my progress at www.kegg.co
sounds great, wish you well
Many people make the mistake of comparing themselves to others in terms of age, and thinking, "Ah, I'm good, I'm only 16/18/20 now, I still have time", and go back to playing that video game, or partying, or whatever else falls under #yolo.
If you're reading this - don't procrastinate. I quit the office job I hated a few months ago, never looked back. All that "office job" time I now dedicate to CZcams (it's a Russian channel, so I'm not self-advertising).
Amazing video.
I quit my full times sales job when I was 26 and started my own photography business. I think you can do what ever you like at any age... I am glad I made that decision to live free and follow my passion! Xx
Do you make a living off that?
@@Lily-ow5wm hi Lily, yes I do it’s my full time source of income and has been for around 8 years. Happy to share any tips etc if you looking for some xxx
@@rcjacksonbrighton That’s awesome! How did you get started? I’m 13 and I’ve always been interested in photography I just know most people aren’t able to make a living of doing so.
WOW! I turn 22 in November, I graduate in July 2021... this video was perfect timing. Follow your passions, they’re a burning obsession.
That should be a college graduation speech)
Lol Gary knows that only 1% of you are actually going to do something after watching this video. Most of you will wake up tomorrow all pumped up, but when you wake up next week you will keep doing the same shit you've always done.
_Past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour._
If you're someone that commented "I needed this..."
I got news for you, you will not succeed. You don't have that internal fire.
Motivation and inspiration is bullshit. Habits and discipline are the winners.
Honest question: Who is this comment supposed to help? Telling people that their motivation is bullshit is only going to bring them further down.
Brian King no, it's better for them to...as Gary says...be "self-aware."
Hello, I am a 25-year-old young man living in Korea. After watching this video, I thought a lot about it. It gave me a lot of motivation. Thank you very much. I will try my best to secure my youth for my life. Please cheer for me. I will do my best to be a valuable life, and I will try my best to live a life that is more valuable than anyone else. I will never give up. I will use my youth and energy to my heart's content. Thank you. And I support you.
Wow! I'm 22 and I just finished college. How motivational! This helps a lot, thank you!
I'm 22 man. Fuck yeah. I'm allowing all opportunities to come my way and I'm taking them all to find out what I'm good at. I have little responsibilities and I'm ready to sleep under a bridge. I've been grinding for a couple months and I'm determined to keep momentum. I'm excited for life Gary! I fucking swear I am.
+Manuel Anaya I'll see you at the top then
So what are you doing now?
He's right kids. Ditch the "Once I..." Mentality and go for it. It's much harder at 38 married with a daughter to jump ship and go for it! Though I'm still gonna try!
Love you Gary!
I could listen to this guy all day long!! Speak so much fu*king TRUTH
Thanks for this Gary. Watching this video in 2019. Anyone from 2019??
Me , i am watching now , can you plz summarize what he is talking about , i dont understand very well.
Yes!
Here!!

I'm 24 and I just lost my dream job about 2 weeks ago. I just stumbled on this video again and I can't even begin to explain how encouraging and insightful and motivating this is right now, beyond grateful for it :)
sorry if this is personal but could i ask how did you lose the job? I am 18 and worried about future job security, and have no experience in the 'real world'
@@lavaboy1565 well i had just been hired in january at a start up and then in march covid hit and the quarantine dramatically changed how the company operated and they weren't sure if there was going to be enough work for me so I was laid off. I was unemployed for a couple months trying to find a new job but then in like July I texted them just to catch up and they were actually back in a place where they could hire me again so I got my job back and I've been working there full time since! :)
I had absolutely no real world experience at 18 and only got my first job at 19 and it was at a chickfila haha, so I feel that, definitely is terrifying attempting to enter the workforce and build a career but the more experience you get the easier it gets to handle it, just try things and find people to help you figure it out. never be afraid to reach out and ask for help :)
@@brebytheway that’s awesome. Im 22 and about to graduate this May with a degree in finance. I know I want to become a financial advisor, but I haven’t had an internship. COVID hit when I became a senior, so there was a lot of uncertainty. I have a very good GPA, and I have passed an unlicensed finance exam that separates me from most applicants. However, I just feel intimidated as I’m entering a new chapter. I guess my question is, will not having an internship lose my chances of getting an entry job?
Did you go to college? What’s your job now?
@@MarioAguilera1957 sorry just saw this reply, how are things going now? :)
I’ve just turned 19 and I’m so blessed this came up on my recommended.
I watch this video every 2-3 weeks to be reminded of my place of privilege as a senior in uni about to graduate...recently begun to take CZcams seriously and talk to the world, thank you Gary for this practical reminder
Spent 4 years in college and it was the worst decision of my life. Here I am with a degree in a field I'm no longer interested in and not much for job prospects. This video helped me open up my eyes and realize how lucky i am tho
Can I ask what field
same problem
Same here. Studied something for 4 years only to realize in the last week of my study and internship that it wasn't what I wanted. My dad got ill and realized that I wanted to pursue something else. Trying to get into medicine now. But need to do more pre education for courses. Gonna give it a go. And if doesn't work. Then hey, at least I tried. Trying to get more serious with my photography and make a business out of it. It's gonna be difficult. But no one said it was easy.
Synchronizer Be confident and never give up, you got this bro !
Same, except I have wasted almost 7 years. Mostly for the sake of finishing the studies, cause quitting studying before the Master’s degree is almost unacceptable where I come from.
Without sound this looks like a rap Video
dead 😂😂 idk if you post stuff like this on insta but if you do follow @aseedoflife cuz I'd love to get the link to your page 😂😂😂✌😇
I literally tuned the sound down to see what you said and yep you were right.
hahah brilliant
Yeah bro😂😂😂😂 yo
THIS IS SO FUNNY
This video changed my perspective towards life, 7 years ago when I was a student. Thanks a lot Gary!
Listening to this 1 week before my final high school exam (Morocco), thanks for your help.
graduating college in 3 weeks with no debt. i have no job currently. i have no clue what i even want to do! this video helped a lot. but still need to get some type of money and really find myself. awesome video
Aesthetic Eric I feel ya man! I graduated 3 months ago and in the same boat. Only difference is I do have a debt but it's not a lot. If I'm going to be in debt I might as well invest in something important, such as education.
Holy shit, thank you Gary! My roommate and I just decided last month this was our last semester in college. I'm 22 and have two years left in college. My roommate is 21 and was headed towards grad school. We started our own business in December and decided to RISK. We just got a deal with a large, million dollar grossing brewery in NC and our website has been live maybe two weeks?! TAKE A CHANCE PEOPLE. YOUR DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE.
out of curiosity, can I ask what your business is? and thanks for the inspiration man
+Noordeen Abunamous We own a candle company in Boone, NC. Our website is brewcandle.co . We make beer inspired pint glass candles, made with all natural ingredients. I love it. I can't wait to make it my full time job.
I'm 25 and I just graduated with a BA and I'm so confused, lost and grieving my early twenties in school. Ahhhhhh.
take time to find your self
I am sixteen but I feeled the motivation you are giving. I promise you, I don't care what people say, I am gonna dig something great. Mark my worlds
"This is the time when you don't go practical and safe" 👊
The people who watched this when it came out are coming out of their 5 year period. Time flies by fast.
Facts
forreal
Exactly! I watched this 5 years back, I'm 27 rn and still don't know where to go with my life!

Still so young, im 16 and I feel im old 🤢
4 not 5.
Hey Gary I’m 23 and and got qualified as a chef by the time I was 18 and now I’m in a whole new industry chasing my dream thank you so much love your videos
Gary, I understand, that long way to happiness starts right now! Thank you so much ❤️
I'm 26 and it's been 4 years since I've graduated. I went the "safe" route for those first few years because I let my student loans hold me back. I wish I had heard this when I needed it most 4 years ago but now is better than never. With $4000 left in loans but nothing else to be proud of for the last couple of years, I'm taking those chances now to do what I want to do.
*I Promise* I will not be afraid of failure, I will live life the way I want, I will not get stuck in the rat race
You fucking go and get 'em
I wish you luck on your journey!
YES... I got the job after my graduation, and tomorrow will be my first day, i knew that this job is killing all my goals, my past working on goals, i was in battle, whether I join or not, saw this video and changes my mind. Im not going to the job which will pay me some hundred bucks for straight a year. Rather i will work hard on my own passion. Thanks
I'm 27 and been battling depression for the last 3-4 years. I'm on the mend and finally starting to believe in everything Gary V is saying here - now is the time to do what *I* want and what *I* need.
I'm currently employed at a job where I'm expected to only work 30 hours a week. No more. I haave more time to explore myself, work on my mental and physical health, and direct energy into the business I will create. My job doesn't pay super great, but living cheaper and sacrificing the expensive cars and houses is worth it - I get to provide the best life for me and mine.
Thanks Gary for the killer motivation (4+ years later)
