Jim and Tanya have convinced themselves they will be mainstream famous millionaires acting, producing, and screen-writing. They believe they're building an empire...when they're just not. Jim could be decent at presenting. He's done a few gigs, obviously he's not going to be amazing immediately. He could try doing more co-presenting and then work his way up on his own. That's really the only lane I see him in.

YouTuber's seem to think they can do anything when in reality outside of their YouTube bubble no one cares, no one outside of YouTube takes you seriously, no one outside of YouTube will buy your book, no one outside of YouTube even knows who you are

the industry only cares for youtubers when they can use them to make money (like award shows having youtubers in the audience/as hosts/as nominees so their tween audience will tune in).
and when they don't need them, msm is like:

How do you know they aren't close to paying off the house? It's fine peaking at 25 if you've made a million or two along with your wife.

He did a foundation GCSE paper and thought he got an A :rofl: and did it to show even if you don't do well in exams it turns out ok as he is doing ok :? Doesn't grasp that it's mainly down to luck for him

They also don't care to work for it. People who are interested in having a career in the industry start from the bottom up, they work long hours and do intern-like jobs just to show their dedication and commitment. I'm yet to see a YouTuber who knows what hard work is, like really hard and not just "I spent all day editing." I'm sure to tv and filmmakers, real ones not just ones who label themselves so on YT would laugh at that sacrifice.

Their house was 2 mil. He has said they have a mortgage hence the house not being paid off... Umm the age of retirement is close to 65 now. one mil or two isnt going to do anything in the long term.
Ask yourself why loads of footballers/ young stars go bankrupt after hitting their peak early,,

Just because there is a mortgage it doesn't mean they have a huge amount left.

2 million is loads. My uncle managed to get enough to pay off his house in his 20s, and he's managed to spend the rest of his life doing things he likes that don't pay much.

Footballers and like go bankrupt because they spend too much and like to walk away from the debt. How is that related?

These gleamers barely spend anything and get most stuff they want for free.

Do you realize the standard of living they are accustomed to? Not going to happen... eating out/clothes/trips etc etc add up quickly..

Even if they have a mortgage, I am pretty sure that a good amount of it is already paid off. It is an investment, and even if it turns out that they can't pay for it anymore, they can easily resell it, pay off the rest of the mortgage with the price they get for the house and the difference will be in their pockets. Buying a house in London was indeed a good idea. Especially now that they have redone the kitchen, it adds to the value of their home.

The cloths, trips and meals are often freebies! I imagine they are quite bored if it all as they can get anything they want.

Prices in central London have been falling for the last few years, espically in k&c so its possibly lost a bit, although not alot (yet) as it's not a prime area.

can we stop pretending that investing in one piece of real estate is a safer investment than a diversified stock portfolio? depending on the market, if they sell the house, they might get a little bit more than the 2 mill they bought it for. they redid the kitchen, it's not like they're completely flipping a house. unless the market drastically changes, they're probably only looking at a maximum of 50,000 more if they sell. if they'd invested even half of the 2 mill with a good investment bank, they could have earned that much in like 4 or 5 months.

i mean, they probably do have some money invested, especially if they opted for a mortgage instead of paying cash for the house. and obviously they can spend and invest their money however they like. i just think it'll be interesting to watch the gleamers through this youtube crisis.

But they didn't have 2 million in cash hense why they had a mortgage and money sat in stocks won't give you anywhere to live. But I do agree mostly.

Property in the UK, espically London is a very risky move with the way the market is now.

Wow his channel is DEAD :? His new video will be lucky to get over 25,000 views and although that's still a lot of views, considering what he was averaging at his peak, and how quickly the decline has been.

Was it ever proven that he graduated? I didn't think it was.

he says he has a degree in psychology. his wikipedia page says he has a degree in psychology. so i assume he has a degree in psychology.
pretty sure there was some controversy because dr phil was no longer a licensed psychologist when he started his show. so it doesn't really matter. you don't actually need a degree to be a talk show host
