    dude got MBA from HEC Paris, one of the most competitive and elite business school in the world. Not surprised he's doing really good in life. Love to see someone from the UK rather than seeing all about millennials from the US. Keep up the good work!

      @@aguafria9565 I grew up in the suburbs and around a lot of whites with money -- that came from generations of medical professionals (with their own practices), engineers, and other successful business owners. Having access to libraries and the internet isn't the same as growing up with money and being groomed for success. Learning from the internet (e.g. TH-cam) hadn't become a thing, yet. Besides going to normal school, the kids with money started going to learning centers and private tutors from the time we were in the 6th grade.
      One of the first things that the learning center did was to test the kids and figure out how they learned all the core subjects. They also got to go to school all year long (in order to stay ahead of everyone else). They also went to math and science camps. I know this because they constantly complained about it. As we got older, we poorer students were working 35 hours a week at after-school jobs in order to have money.
      The kids with money were getting internships and things that would look great on their college applications. Not surprisingly, these kids went to Ivy League universities -- just like their parents. As adults, they became highly successful. Money has never been an issue for them. Money gave them access to opportunities that others didn't have. So, we can't act like coming from wealth doesn't positively impact a person's life.

      Hi I am French so I am aware that HEC is a very expensive French school for the rich and his parent probably helped with that so it should have been good to mention it more. But despite that I know many people with humble beginnings or wealthy family in London making the same amount of money or more who do not make his smart choices. Many people who make money would have chosen to buy in central London although it would have put them at risk financially, or would splurge on brand outfits , purses, daily expensive dinner in restaurants or drinks in upscale bars to feel the daily superficial wealthy lifestyle that would make them slowly less wealthy and I see the same thing in Paris by the way... So despite his wealthy family it seems that he is really down to earth and in tune with reality which makes him make smart financial decision and you don't need a wealthy family for that.

    I'm from the UK and the UK one is less relatable than USA ones. I think its easier to make money and change your life in the USA.

    Brave vid to put yourself out there like that.. nice one!! . although your lifestyle/budget seems very much on the high side it works well for you and thats what counts.. i retired young and my spend is about $35kusd/year (i can afford to spend a lot more but i dont feel that any of the extra spend would make my life any cooler). I live in the tropics and am either barefoot or in flip flops so imagine how much $$ i save on shoes..

      This guy is hardly "normal". He has an MBA from HEC and it appears that he came from some money.

    Wow...I am earning 16% from his total a year. No wonder I don't play tennis, no gym subscription, no stocks investment, no cocktail parties, no splurging on shoes. I drive a car with 4 wheels but without the 4 rings. My expensive hobby would be netflix subscription which i hardly watch.
