    I really warm to this guy, even though he was a trader he hasn't lost his soul, God bless him. You may be the linchpin the world needs to begin the fight against inequality. I would love to know who the other millionaires are that agree with you. Why don't you have a live streamed zoom discussion with them we could all listen to?

    Love ya style fella! Just becoz you make a few quid doesn’t mean you have to be billy big balls and buy all those things that wealthy individuals are “suppose” to purchase, so many are caught up in the consumerism game that they literally can’t help themselves and are constantly making stupid purchases to fill some kind of hole. Sometimes it’s just about having the freedom to do what u want when u want and no financial stress-so you can just chill out - that’s worth a billion pound in my book and that’s the benefit of real wealth. Keep up the good work fella and thank you for your views.👊🙏

    What'd be REALLY cool is a dig down into trading. Philosophy, technique, theory, technical. How you figured out what was happening. The details. That's the stuff that'll help convince (and interest) some folks wanting 'proof'. Personally, I'm really interested how you came to understand and test your theory on the markets.

      This is an interesting idea. I'm actually planning to do a video on trading. Before I get really into the details of what I did/do I will probably have to do one about the risks though - there's been a real explosion in stay at home trading and I wouldn't want to encourage it without being really clear about what the risks there, it's essentially a form of gambling and there are real risks of financial loss/addiction. We will do one though!

    I'm inclined towards being a top hat and monocle kind of guy, despite being stuck on having to depend on Universal (Dis)Credit just to get by. It's about buying things of value that lasts rather than cheap disposable horrible Primark stuff, which actually saves me money in the long term, allowing me to buy more cans of beans to live on, while still looking more like the monopoly guy.
    It's an act of rebellion against current social and class expectations that despite being a peasant, I choose to dress more like a traditional millionaire, when millionaires are finding it fashionable to dress in "poor people's clothes", that ironically actually costs more from exclusive fashion shops than a good three piece suit from your local tailor, never mind parts of a suit from the likes of eBay and your local charity shops.

    The answer should just be "what's the point?" *shrugs*. These preconceived notions of rich people need to be kept in the past. If you put on a suit and started being driven around you'd loose what it is that motivates you when you get up in the morning. A literal drone you'd become.
    I grew up with people like you. In that we all sound and dress "common" like. And there's nothing wrong with continuing to be yourself even if you make it. It's the people the make it into this top 5% but then think "fuck it, where I came from doesn't matter, champagne!!!!", they are a problem.

But it's not all on you.... we all have a responsibility to do more, especially I would say the famous in the UK ...... This is where American actors / famous people are really good at campaigning, but doing it on camera look at Mark Ruffalo for example and many like him, US got this right, we have Gary Linekar Tweeting , no disrespect to Gary .... Remember Mark Rashfords letter regarding Free kids school meals.... that letter had more power than mine and all my friends rants on social media for the rest of my life. Why? because the politicians shit themselves when a famous household name who has a political message seeps into our homes via TV. So yeah I'm sure if we all sent a message requesting our famous people to be more visibly active on holding politicians to account things will change.... czcams.com/video/mlChFvmmSQM/video.html
