    At 1:20. "I'm 50 years old and financially scared". I have been watching this channel for years and there is a common theme. Archie has champagne wishes and caviar dreams but lives on a beer budget. He finances luxury goods while living beyond his means. The watch collection and other luxury goods were beyond his means and he is now paying the price. Maybe Archie should have three watches max. That's it. Sell everything else and pay off debt.

      Owning 200k in watches like he had, he could have used that money to open a jewelry store selling seikos and Orients, then used the profits for watches lol he'd have watches and a store. Oh well, I've made many mistakes too, he seems like a good enough guy, I hope the best for him

      @@Ash_Simak I dont think so guy. Owes $200k on the mortgage, leases a 3 series, has a clapped out civic, wears shitty old clothes, has shitty old furniture etc. Explore his other videos, theres shots of his house and whatnot, its just a standard low set brick and tile place, in Average Ville. I dont see several nice euro cars that are owned rather than leased, a tennis court and pool in a flash suburb, I see average, even run down and in need of maintenance. His 'luxury' lifestyle is all a charade son, and he puts watches on credit cards (!). He hasnt got the bread to replace the watches that were swiped, hence why he was talking about heloc, i.e. another form of credit. That doesnt say very well off to me.

    Yeah, 50s is a scary age, Arch. Nice vid, hope it works out for you.

    Not sure what Lardarse is complaining about. For a beggar he's not doing so badly. If the simps on TH-cam give up on him and he has to do a few years work before retirement it won't be the end of the World. Might even do a bit of good and trim off some of the blubber!!

    Archie has three investments growing nicely. The two horns on the side of his head and the cancer in his prostrate.
