Live Rich: How we spend our days is how we spend our lives, and we all spend it spending. We live to consume, we consume to live, and our desire for more is unending. Whenever I get paid, I just can’t wait to spend it, it disappears so quickly and I’m left to mend it, I pretend it will all be okay, to give a week’s wages away in one day. But we try our best, still money seems to go, we’ve been told many times that money doesn’t grow on trees, But it’s a disease, the elephant in the room, it’s the big bad wolf that’s making us consume. They get more money, if we’re regular buyers, so they manipulate are needs, and twist our desires. They are liars, a shady institution, where they create a problem and sell us a solution. They will use fear, so we buy things we don’t need, say you’re dying, you’re ugly, it’s all out of greed. They mislead, make you buy things that wont last, planned obsolescence should be a thing of the past. They’ll do anything to trick us, try and take our money captive. Sell us happiness and sex appeal, and ways to be attractive, so we go out and buy it, and fill our lives with clutter only we still feel the same, but with money in the gutter. It’s a cycle, of perpetual spending, a disposable culture with no sign of ending. We’re pretending like they’re our own choices and ignoring the fact that we can hear voices in our heads. It’s Consumerism, banging at our door. Saying our lives should be better, that we should have more. But we’re just as bad, we shouldn’t pass blame, we’re all part of the same money game, But they’re winning, and we always lose, we’re giving them our money because we join the queues of people, all keeping up with the Joneses, buying the latest and the newest, but what no one shows is it’s difficult to make ends meet, when all these temptations are thrown at our feet. But I have a solution, which you’re welcome to ditch, it’s hard but it’s worth it, Spend Less - Live Rich. As simple as that, just tune out the noise, Take in what you have and appreciate the joys of living, without being told what to buy, or else you’ll always want more, until the day that you die. It’s a struggle, living day to day, trying to stay afloat when your worries weigh you down. You’re in your overdraft, you have been for years, Everything you owe is being paid in arrears. And it’s tough, you don’t know what to do, you cant control your money when money controls you. You need help, but you have too much pride, you’ve used up all your credit and your cards have been denied. You could get a loan, but that’s not the way to wealth, when you borrow money, you rob your future self. Ask for help, think ahead, no one wants this stress, you may need money now but later you’ll have less. What you earn doesn’t matter, only what you save, you can spend what you have, but don’t be a slave to the system, they will find a new way, to numb the pain that you feel when it comes time to pay. We had cash and cheque, then onto chip and pin, now you keep hold of your card when you buy anything. You don’t feel it, when your funds go in a flash, just try and go a week where you only pay cash. Then you will notice, as your stash runs low, the wage you work hard for, how you just let it go. Think of those in the world without shirts on their back, when you see clothes in your closet that are still in their pack. Realise you have what you need, when your money runs low, And the voices on the TV start telling you to throw, Things away, to buy the new version. They only want your cash; they don’t care about the person. So take control of your money, and take control of your lives, saving money isn’t boring when you start to realise what it stands for, the choices and the freedom, the security of those pennies in the times that you need them. You see true wealth isn’t in the numbers to you name, It’s in knowledge itself, and the experiences you gain, It’s about the priceless, and the things you cant buy, Like memories, and loved ones, and feeling that high When you realise, that life’s full of free gifts, When you live in the moment, and forget that money exists.

I have respect for you Gary. With just 2 viedos, you can get 77 thousand subscribers. Your words are really meaningful. One look at your face and I know that all are true. You are such amazing person, don't quit. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you are trudging, Seems all uphill, When the funds are low, And debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing, you down a bit. Rest if you must but don't you quit. Success is failure, Turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near , When it seems afar, So stick to the fight with your hardest hit, It's when things go wrong , That you mustn't quit.
Just watch this over and over again people!! Share it! Make people think! Free your self from this prison! Don't be slaves! In this time what our world needs the most is people like Gary! Keep it up man!!!
Your authenticity and open heart will be so healing for the world. You are speaking for many; you already know this. Grateful to you for speaking your heart and mind. You are a hero.
Gary, there are 7.125 billion people living in this world... you ruled them all out by your amazing peoms... Very brave and very original! Well done my friend.
I don't think there is anyone I admire more than you... Truly the word to describe you would be beautiful. Gary Turk the wisest man on TH-cam. I will forever be a fan.
Now one of your subscribers. You're so down to Earth! Your messages are beyond real and intellectual, you just became one of my personal super heroes, *****!
+Zeph Sacayan And mine as well! I'm extremely happy, that you think and see the world as it is and create these videos to show it to people! Million thanks!
Gary Turk! You are my hero now. Everything I hold in mind... You just showed it when I don't know how. Life is not really expensive, but we're paying more for it. We feel things are important, but almost half of them are shit. We go shopping twice a week, hoping to feel like a king. Yet, do not forget the people, who don't even have enough for eating. We have been tricked by the people, telling us we are with old-fashion. We pay them our earning just to pay for their production. They keep making the new ones, and we will keep up the pace. Thinking if we don't own them, it will be a disgrace. You earn and you spend until the last of your dollar. You always want a new one: clothes, smartphone or car. But, please, before you reach for your wallet or your cards, Do you really need or buy it for discards? Think of the good ways you can do with your money, You ca, save, invest or give to a charity. If you want a rich life, you must be smart and productive. Do not spend more money, so that people see you can live.
I don't know how Gary's videos always find a way to get to me. I showed "look up" to my mother and she was on the verge of crying. I'd just like to say thank you for showing us all the right way to live.
Gary you are the first and only person , that makes me regret and remorse upon the evil effects of our daily tech advancements. Carry on the good work , Bravo.
I can't put my description in words of how intelligent this guy really is.. He makes a nice, high quality video, explaining a meaning to most likely motivate us, and still can rhyme and put together words nice and smoothly. I am a big fan of what is now, the 2 of your videos and im just going to encourage you on your upcoming videos as well. Keep up the good work mate!
Kenton chen That is true......but if your finances get bad that can affect your health. Just the stress alone is bad, plus people can end up stress eating, and eating unhealthy foods as a result of stress eating or not being able to afford healthier choices. Of course following the advice on this video can help with that :)
I am pretty satisfied with Gary's explanation to live rich. I could understand him because that's how I have been living. Live Rich, what's the point if you don't have money to spend at the moment you cherish!
Man there are almost no people like you. You are an old spirit. Well done. Keep on doing these kinds of things because people will one day respect your work and they will definitely need people like you.
I will never have a real credit card. I have a visa debit which gives me no credit but the same kind of option. It's the best invention and I don't have a debt I can't pay. Credit cards are a bad idea for (I'd guess) 90% of the population. Some can handle it, the rest of us can't. We have far more things in our lives making us rich than the new iPhone or pair of shoes or bag. Great vid, it's an awesome message! Don't let consumerism consume you!
I've try to buy happiness until my credit score went to shit and I have found no material thing can make you happy. Its all smoke and mirrors I appreciate what I have and I don't miss my car payments.Thank you for such a honest powerful message.
If i had much money, i would pay you to make a spoken world film about education! It would be unique like your other videos. Gary, you deserve much more respect and attention. You changed my life with your first (true) story! Thanks
Said well... all in moderation. Speaking from a person who's was in love. The feeling of being in love,laughing,camping, canoeing, with somebody you care about.. no feeling of stuff can compare. But, I understand we love having some new things now and again as well.
Kelly He Me having confounded soem numbers doesn't make me an idiot. Still, fact is that the video went viral before Fine Bros' video. Also, stop calling everybody an idiot for no reason.
Your videos are so amazing! "Look up" made me start crying because its so true. "Live rich" is the definition of our generation. We spend and spend but do we really need the extra stuff that we buy? No. Please make more of these!😊
I always have the same feeling as you do, but the way you express it -poem- is just ingenious. I'm so glad there are still people like you on this planet.
ive seen "look up" in a school assembly and it was truly great video and now seen this. this is a very motivational video that every human being should watch.
It was the right thing to do by subscribing because Gary Turk is an amazing person! This video is just amazing and proves how society is nowadays because they think it's good to show off than doing something good for themself.
I don't understand how you come up without these videos. I see how they become interesting in many days. But see your last video "Look Up" was about putting away technology so in my opinion this video should have came first.
This is honestly amazing. I enjoy watching all of your videos, you're so right. In today's society people are all about the money. Buying things just to "fit it" but in the long run the most important things in life are free. Great job!!
Here is my new film - 'Live Rich'.
A spoken word film about the true meaning of wealth. #GaryTurk
Love it!
mind blown
Abdulvahid IŞIK Done sir :-)
You are a inspiration
I understand thank you
Live Rich:
How we spend our days is how we spend our lives,
and we all spend it spending.
We live to consume, we consume to live,
and our desire for more is unending.
Whenever I get paid, I just can’t wait to spend it,
it disappears so quickly and I’m left to mend it,
I pretend it will all be okay,
to give a week’s wages away in one day.
But we try our best, still money seems to go,
we’ve been told many times that money doesn’t grow on trees,
But it’s a disease, the elephant in the room,
it’s the big bad wolf that’s making us consume.
They get more money, if we’re regular buyers,
so they manipulate are needs, and twist our desires.
They are liars, a shady institution,
where they create a problem and sell us a solution.
They will use fear, so we buy things we don’t need,
say you’re dying, you’re ugly, it’s all out of greed.
They mislead, make you buy things that wont last,
planned obsolescence should be a thing of the past.
They’ll do anything to trick us, try and take our money captive.
Sell us happiness and sex appeal, and ways to be attractive,
so we go out and buy it, and fill our lives with clutter
only we still feel the same, but with money in the gutter.
It’s a cycle, of perpetual spending,
a disposable culture with no sign of ending.
We’re pretending like they’re our own choices
and ignoring the fact that we can hear voices in our heads.
It’s Consumerism, banging at our door.
Saying our lives should be better, that we should have more.
But we’re just as bad, we shouldn’t pass blame,
we’re all part of the same money game,
But they’re winning, and we always lose,
we’re giving them our money because we join the queues
of people, all keeping up with the Joneses,
buying the latest and the newest, but what no one shows is
it’s difficult to make ends meet,
when all these temptations are thrown at our feet.
But I have a solution, which you’re welcome to ditch,
it’s hard but it’s worth it, Spend Less - Live Rich.
As simple as that, just tune out the noise,
Take in what you have and appreciate the joys
of living, without being told what to buy,
or else you’ll always want more, until the day that you die.
It’s a struggle, living day to day,
trying to stay afloat when your worries weigh you down.
You’re in your overdraft, you have been for years,
Everything you owe is being paid in arrears.
And it’s tough, you don’t know what to do,
you cant control your money when money controls you.
You need help, but you have too much pride,
you’ve used up all your credit and your cards have been denied.
You could get a loan, but that’s not the way to wealth,
when you borrow money, you rob your future self.
Ask for help, think ahead, no one wants this stress,
you may need money now but later you’ll have less.
What you earn doesn’t matter, only what you save,
you can spend what you have, but don’t be a slave
to the system, they will find a new way,
to numb the pain that you feel when it comes time to pay.
We had cash and cheque, then onto chip and pin,
now you keep hold of your card when you buy anything.
You don’t feel it, when your funds go in a flash,
just try and go a week where you only pay cash.
Then you will notice, as your stash runs low,
the wage you work hard for, how you just let it go.
Think of those in the world without shirts on their back,
when you see clothes in your closet that are still in their pack.
Realise you have what you need, when your money runs low,
And the voices on the TV start telling you to throw,
Things away, to buy the new version.
They only want your cash; they don’t care about the person.
So take control of your money, and take control of your lives,
saving money isn’t boring when you start to realise
what it stands for, the choices and the freedom,
the security of those pennies in the times that you need them.
You see true wealth isn’t in the numbers to you name,
It’s in knowledge itself, and the experiences you gain,
It’s about the priceless, and the things you cant buy,
Like memories, and loved ones, and feeling that high
When you realise, that life’s full of free gifts,
When you live in the moment, and forget that money exists.

So true, well done :)
Wow!! Can't believe you added me! :D
Thanks a lot. I really adore your English accent! :)
Keep the videos coming ;)
amazing
Kudos, love your style and delivery. Keep up the good work.
Stanley Ibe Thanks Stanley. More videos to come!
'When you borrow money, you rob your future self' too true
'We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like' - Dave Ramsey
Telling the truth is a virtue : YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON !
Five years later I came back to watch look Up. You are such a inspiring person.
I have respect for you Gary. With just 2 viedos, you can get
77 thousand subscribers. Your words are really meaningful.
One look at your face and I know that all are true.
You are such amazing person, don't quit.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging,
Seems all uphill,
When the funds are low,
And debts are high,
and you want to smile,
but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing, you down a bit.
Rest if you must but don't you quit.
Success is failure,
Turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near ,
When it seems afar,
So stick to the fight with your hardest hit,
It's when things go wrong ,
That you mustn't quit.
These videos are so important. They show the tiniest glimmer of hope for humanity's future generations.
Just watch this over and over again people!!
Share it!
Make people think!
Free your self from this prison!
Don't be slaves!
In this time what our world needs the most is people like Gary!
Keep it up man!!!
Your authenticity and open heart will be so healing for the world. You are speaking for many; you already know this. Grateful to you for speaking your heart and mind. You are a hero.
Your videos are like light in the darkness, a voice of reason around madness.
Gary, there are 7.125 billion people living in this world... you ruled them all out by your amazing peoms... Very brave and very original! Well done my friend.
I don't think there is anyone I admire more than you... Truly the word to describe you would be beautiful. Gary Turk the wisest man on TH-cam. I will forever be a fan.

Wow, thanks Zeph! That's very kind!
+Zeph Sacayan And mine as well! I'm extremely happy, that you think and see the world as it is and create these videos to show it to people! Million thanks!
Gary Turk! You are my hero now.
Everything I hold in mind... You just showed it when I don't know how.
Life is not really expensive, but we're paying more for it.
We feel things are important, but almost half of them are shit.
We go shopping twice a week, hoping to feel like a king.
Yet, do not forget the people, who don't even have enough for eating.
We have been tricked by the people, telling us we are with old-fashion.
We pay them our earning just to pay for their production.
They keep making the new ones, and we will keep up the pace.
Thinking if we don't own them, it will be a disgrace.
You earn and you spend until the last of your dollar.
You always want a new one: clothes, smartphone or car.
But, please, before you reach for your wallet or your cards,
Do you really need or buy it for discards?
Think of the good ways you can do with your money,

Gary you are the first and only person , that makes me regret and remorse upon the evil effects of our daily tech advancements. Carry on the good work , Bravo.
"So, Spend Less, Live Rich
Don't be defined by what you own.
Make your life more memorable
Than queuing days for a phone."
I can't put my description in words of how intelligent this guy really is.. He makes a nice, high quality video, explaining a meaning to most likely motivate us, and still can rhyme and put together words nice and smoothly. I am a big fan of what is now, the 2 of your videos and im just going to encourage you on your upcoming videos as well. Keep up the good work mate!
I love this bloke.....he articulates beautifully all my thoughts.
Health is your true wealth.
But sometimes your family can be straight up challenging, coz Asians want more out of you ._.
Kenton chen That is true......but if your finances get bad that can affect your health. Just the stress alone is bad, plus people can end up stress eating, and eating unhealthy foods as a result of stress eating or not being able to afford healthier choices. Of course following the advice on this video can help with that :)
Your specialty is recording,editing, and poetry
This changes few.
I am pretty satisfied with Gary's explanation to live rich. I could understand him because that's how I have been living. Live Rich, what's the point if you don't have money to spend at the moment you cherish!
You said the truth, Gary. Thank you so much for making these videos. You speak the words everyone should hear. Thank you so much.
Man there are almost no people like you. You are an old spirit. Well done. Keep on doing these kinds of things because people will one day respect your work and they will definitely need people like you.
You are the best TH-camR ever, thanks Gray for everything.
You're a genius, I respect you for that. You take action for what we take for granted. Thank you.
Another sad "wasn't sad" video... U give us advice Gary! We live U 😍😘💛💙💜💚❤️💗💕💖💞💘
Well done Gary.
Powerful message.
I will never have a real credit card. I have a visa debit which gives me no credit but the same kind of option. It's the best invention and I don't have a debt I can't pay.

We have far more things in our lives making us rich than the new iPhone or pair of shoes or bag. Great vid, it's an awesome message! Don't let consumerism consume you!
Aha nice touch with the iPhone queue. Yet another powerful message - Awesome mate.
Thanks Sascha!
Don't care about the views, just keep making more Gary. This one is amazing.
Please continue to make more of these fantastically deep and thought-provoking videos.
Another inspiring message from Gary Turk. You are absolutely amazing.
You are amazing. This is my first day watching you and I can't stop watching
Everything you make is pure genius. There needs to be more people like you in the world and I can't wait for your next video
I've try to buy happiness until my credit score went to shit and I have found no material thing can make you happy. Its all smoke and mirrors I appreciate what I have and I don't miss my car payments.Thank you for such a honest powerful message.
I am speechless. Haven't heard anything like this. Amazing!
If i had much money, i would pay you to make a spoken world film about education!
It would be unique like your other videos.
Gary, you deserve much more respect and attention. You changed my life with your first (true) story!
Thanks
Thank you, Gary!
Continue on making great little clips, your two first ones were great, and probably the others as well.
finally somebody... go on a tell everybody everything!!! many people will thank you in future!
Said well... all in moderation. Speaking from a person who's was in love. The feeling of being in love,laughing,camping, canoeing, with somebody you care about.. no feeling of stuff can compare. But, I understand we love having some new things now and again as well.
The ending was awesome, spend your money for moments and feelings not for goods.
Still coming back to this and Look Up for occasional words of wisdom.
Why hasn't this gone viral?
SilverWave Because the finebros haven't done a react episode on this like "Look Up" by Gary Turk.
Kelly He The video already hit like 40 million views when the Fine bros made a video about "Look Up".
***** I hope you know your an idiot.
Kelly He Me having confounded soem numbers doesn't make me an idiot. Still, fact is that the video went viral before Fine Bros' video. Also, stop calling everybody an idiot for no reason.
***** Well you are very stupid since you spelled some* wrong and if you can't spell some maybe you should consider shutting your mouth.
Love this channel! One that dishes out priceless nuggets of wisdom and truth for daily life!
I want his poems to be on our textbooks...they are interesting and it makes us wanna change our lifestyle
