oh yeah, yes, always be thankful for what you do have in life, never take for granted any luxury, because it will all be gone soon, sadly, we know the collapse of western civ is right around the bend, china is coming!
For me its simple, when I think of people without 90% of what alot of us have & they are mega happy, I just remind myself to chin up & keep moving on... I always tell folks to take time out and enjoy things of life, Travellllll & see things!

That was a sincere video. I am 70 years old now when I was 38 my wife left me with my 2 kids. (Mostly my fault) I had no parents(deceased) no brothers or sisters. I thought I would never survive it hurt so bad But I can tell you that time heals all wounds. I met my 2nd wife and couldn’t be happier and am close with my children and grandkids You don’t know what the future holds but be patient and faithful to yourself and trust in God. You are here for a purpose. god bless you my friend
@@tjbrower if you want my honest opinion, I think he should stop being a baby and just go get a job OK RUclips’s not working out so adapt and overcome find something else if it was as bad as he claims it to be then he needs to get a job other than RUclips
Mike, I’ve been watching you since 2015 when you had your Fusion. I have faith that you will work through your stuff. Life is beautiful. Sending love your way man
You are a good dude Mike, I’ll be watching your videos as long as you’re making them my friend. Sorry that you’re going through these things, all will work out, stay positive! Wishing you happiness brother
I'm just starting to notice all my body pain in the mornings, and it's getting worse with each year! I'm only 38 and feel like 68. What kind of pain you going thru?
I’ve been dealing with chronic pain for about 3 years now. I go to a pain specialist and it has become managed, but knowing I will have to deal with this the rest of my life is overwhelming at times. I went from enjoying outdoor sports and having that taken from me. Watching people like Mike has been a blessing. Life isn’t perfect, but we all find reasons to go on.
Don't give up my friend, I lost my wife when she was 33 and have to start/learn and raise my kids. They were 2 and nine. Life is not easy, but you have a gift and we like it. Good energy for you
Mike good news for you is men don't have a biological clock... It's never too late for you to have children and start a family! Stay strong brother we all love you!!!
Honestly I don't want kids, we have 8 billion people already and it's not like this world is becoming a better place. Maybe I'll be the fun uncle one day.
@@Sam-fs8sx I'm with you on this brother.The world is a crazy place and it gets crazier by the day.I do have three nephews though.I treat them as if they were my boys.
Mike, I’m 48, married, and have two kids, but I still find myself struggling at times. It often feels like there’s something missing in my life beyond the usual cycle of work, eat, sleep, and repeat. So, I want you to know that it’s completely normal to feel this way. I’m still trying to figure it out myself, so I don’t have all the answers-but I want you to know you’re not alone in this.
I'm not trying to tell you what do do but maybe date nights or mini adventures would help out. Can be by yourself, with wife, with your kids or family. Just changing the monitony
Mike, im a disabled veteran, i have to go through alot of mental problems everyday. So i totally understand what you may be going through. Talking to a therapist deffinently helps get things off your shoulders and having them there to help.
Same here, 45 years old and currently riding the rollercoaster of life with ups and downs, a lot of downs the last years but fighting through it all.💪🙂 Watching you on RUclips certainly helps.🙏🙏👑 I really like your content and that you are talking about these important questions too. Hang in there, love you Mike, sending lots of positive energy from a snowy Sweden.❤️❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪🌨️🌨️
Life will get better. I went through a divorce at 41. Had to be the worst time of my life, especially when you didn’t want the divorce. Keep your head up and keep moving forward.
@@jimmaines9786 see that’s just it nothing‘s wrong with him. He’s using RUclips to get views and he’s using his wife’s divorce to get views in the end. He needs money to pay his bills and unfortunately, if you don’t make videos then you don’t get money that will strike her with everybody hence my wife and I got a divorce now he’s able to make a little bit of money in revenue off of everybody who watches and feels bad for him. It’s always for me for me for me. It’s never how can I help myself some efforts into it but he also got a channel sponsor through better help a.k.a. I’m getting money
Hats off to you Mike for being brave enough to be honest about your mental health and setting example for other men out there. As a guy who has also recently been through some challenges it is great to see others taking steps to get better too. People like you are the ones making real change and with every challenge comes an opportunity to persevere, which I'm sure you will do. Take care of yourself first, then get back to business. All the best. Ben.
I’m not a regular viewer, but I’ve dabbled over the years and have enjoyed your videos. I even bought a c63s and your videos had a big role to play in that. Hang in there buddy, you got this. Good Times will definitely come!
Hey Mike. I am 28 years old now and been following up to your channel since 2015 (since I was 19). So, basically you are what I am growing up to. But looking back at what you have done through videos, you indirectly teach us about enjoying life to the fullest (hoopties, straight piping, hanging out with your friends), and how to be responsible (financing stuff, how you take Syd out and be there for her as a Dad, climbing in life from a leased Fusion to the Rari and AMGs). You are super and you are one of the people that I really look up too. I hope everything will be fine, and wishing you great health and happiness, Mike. We will always be a loyal buddy to you.
I really hope you’ve got a good friend to speak to, cus that’s really important to have. A big hug from a danish guy, to a Swedish guy. Have a great one 👍🙂
Brother, we all go through similar things in life and most of us here can relate with you, the real ones will always know you’re a good man and support you. God bless you and I wish only the best for you.
I’m so sorry your feeling that way. I’m 20 years old and just lost the girl I thought I would marry and my life has been completely derailed. I understand your pain but it will all work out keep your head up Mike❤️
Add value to your life, if you are working, take another course to study to better your self. Stay focused on your goals and life will be better with the right woman soon.
One door closes and another opens Mike. You just need to keep your eyes AND your mind open to see that door. sometimes it’s right in front of you but when your mind is always in the past you won’t see it. I tell myself life is just a roller coaster and you have to accept to a large degree you’re not in control. Go with the flow and enjoy each stage of the ride, each stage brings a new chapter and experience in life and one day you’ll look back and appreciate all of them. Been where you are and totally get it. Rest assured you’ll be a happy chappy again soon.
Det viktiga är att du inte ”stänger in dig” utan försök va mer öppen och positiv, som du känns i videon. Och om du kan, se inte bakåt, du vet misstagen, blicka framåt. Du är en bra kille och jag har följt dig i flera år. Vi finns här och stöttar dig. Fortsätt med det du gillar att göra så ska du se att det blir ljusare igen! ❤
Ngt som hjälpt mig är att inte låta saker äta på mig. Säger alltid ”skit i det”, och det hjälper. Omge dig med positiva människor som kan ge dig energi 😊 Följt dig länge och gillar att du är så rak och ärlig med saker och ting.
Literally walked in the house after having a breakdown after realizing what I'm going through rn with suffering permanent spine damage from working construction. Hadn't seen your videos in at least 2 years and was the first thing I saw on my RUclips page. Good to see I'm not alone in tough times. Like divine timing seeing this video pop up at this moment.
Remember that 51% of relationships fail so there are so many of us that have driven down that same road. There is a silver lining in all of the heartache, its just hard to find until you turn that corner. Chin up brother.
Wishing you the best Mike. I’m 44 and just starting my career now. Scary as hell. But self doubt is THE biggest enemy. Like others have said - trust in your Lord. We can do this.
Mike your first mistake was marrying a single mother , she wasted your time didn’t have a child with you , left you and now you’re a 46 yy man with no prospects of leaving a legacy behind !! No man who wants to start his own family should ever date or marry a single mother , you’re playing another man’s saved game …..
True single mothers are always quick to marry, but Mike should have enough sense to see that he was getting older and she didn't want to give him a child but so he should have left a long time ago
I can see what your saying but it's not all truth. I know of plenty of strong relationships where eother the mother was single or the father was single with a child and all is well. Plenty of people who go Into a relationship without kids involved at all also have high invested relatiosnhips that fail for one reason or another. Either way, it's unfortunate especially with a child blood or not blood when they become attached to that father figure ect.
@ yeah but he came in the relationship without any children of his own , so my point still stands , any single man that has no child and wants to start a family should avoid a single mother at any cost !!!
"Marrying a single mother" is not the mistake, the mistake is misjudging the character of the person and assuming they share your goals. The same mistake dudes make with non-single mothers. Also, "legacy" is overrated- in 100 years no one will GAF about you, even your own great-grandchildren, despite the fact they are direct descendants of you. You'll be lucky if anyone even has a picture left of you.
Absolutely right look at ALL OTHER RUclipsRS WHO WERE MARRIED BEFORE THEY STARTED MAKING MONEY OR BECOMING A BIT FAMOUS ! Tavarish, Hoovie ! All Of them got pos wives!! I’m 37 still Single not looking to Jump into anything where all Women today are truly not Mentally right ! They don’t know how to be in a relationship and do what’s right !
Hey Mike as long as you have good health, you have everything. Focus on the positive things in life. That what I had to do when I went through hard times, and everybody does at some point in their life ! You’re gonna be OK !!!
Man I have been following you for years. Always seemed like a genuine nice funny handsome guy. Your ex was so bitter and angry would give you the side eye every video seemed like you were trying so hard buying her dream cars and Raptors and it was never enough. You raised her daughter as your own. A terrific loving step father. As a man bro you did your duty. Now listen you are 46 but in 2024 that is the new 30. You will find yourself a beautiful young woman in her late 20,s and have beautiful babies with her. I have been through my own mental health struggles and trust me bro it is always darkest before the sun rises. You were an inspiration to me and many other youtubers. A regular dude selling used Fords in Pennsylvania was able to make a RUclips channel successful enough, it afforded him to buy 3 C63 AMGS, A FREAKING FERRARI, AN R8, AN RS7 ETC. YOU ARE A BOSS BRO! NEVER FORGET IT 💪
Hang in there man! I’m here for (All) uploads, I am 53 and at this age you’re correct we all think that but all in all if you’re happy things all work out.
I know you say you and the ex are friends and all that but sometimes its best just walk away and open a new page and forget the past, or in my opinion the women just play with your emotions, akk the best bro
Cheer up Man!! I started watching you since 2016. I remember you made a video you bought a truck for your wife, your first C63 etc etc. Your channel has grown a lot since then. You have accomplished a lot and entertained so many people you never met. Just be yourself. Things will be fine.
This video really resonated with me Mike. I’m in an extremely similar situation, and feeling the same way you described. Some days are definitely better than others. I appreciate you taking the time to post this video because like you said, guys aren’t supposed have feelings let alone discuss them openly. We all go through shit, and we have to lean on each other to push through the hard days. Sending you strength my friend, because this too shall pass
In deed your content has been helpful and inspirational to me going through a break up too. Your content is still entrataining, it's just a more mature and real focus. Keep it up Mike, great things are coming
I’m 26, I graduated with my masters in May just to get shafted and fired from my job in July and not by a small company mind you. It felt like everything was crashing down and now I’m starting essentially from rock bottom, ofc I have my masters but I don’t have corporate work experience and looking for something entry level in this economy has been tough. But even then I still have to say that this is better than working a job that doesn’t value you and that doesn’t develop you in the way you’re looking for. Despite some of the resentment I still feel I know that I have an opportunity to become someone I want to be and adding those building blocks has only empowered me to move forward in this uncertain time. It’s never too late to reinvent yourself and sometimes you can only do that when there’s nothing left besides you.
Finally this guy has realised the fact that that old hag he used to live with aint gonna give him sincerity happiness family or kids… good on ya mate! Took u a while but u got there.
Thank you for sharing some honest and vulnerable content. I'm 60 and have been in therapy for the last 6 years and it has made a huge difference in my mental health and my life in general. At least for me, it really works!
Oh Mike Me too ! I’ve compared it to walking along a kerbstone. You don’t realise that everyone is quite happily walking along, totally oblivious to how easy it is to fall off. You don’t actually realise it until you fall off yourself. Then it hits you - Wow. I never expected that to happen to me. I always thought I was well adjusted and more than mentally capable. I’m ok, but I did find things got on top of me and I did wobble. But luckily I’m ok. I had good job, good wife, kids etc. Then just before Christmas many many years back got made redundant. No job, no money, mortgages and kids and bills and loans and no job. It’s few months before Christmas so nobody is hiring. Christmas was …. I had no money kids asked “does Santa not like us as next door have loads of presents “ Ended up on a dreadful job, half the salary, really not great. I can’t put in the swear words here as comments will be removed. But ok life didn’t turn out the way I expected but hey I got through and I’m ok You mate, are young, healthy, good looking, and fun. Please find a new partner and enjoy life with her love, that’s all you need mate
Hey Mike don’t roll your eyes because I’m 15 years younger than you and trying to give advice - but, as someone who went through a divorce (with kids) it fucking sucks. It does feel like starting over. However, in time it gets better (as everyone tells you), way better in fact. The most important thing is having the same mentality you exhibit in this video. Focusing on the positives, growth, and change. My divorce was the hardest thing I ever went through, but the most important and positively impactful part of my life (so far) as well. I believe you’ll realize this too one day soon, just keep your head up 💪
The first step is recognizing that you need to speak with someone to help you understand and deal with where you are at this point in your life. I have no doubt that things will get better for you and better days are ahead. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter in your journey.
I am 23, feel like my life is garbage, but for now I am looking at the positives and things I enjoy. Get in that sort of mindset mike! Everyone does feel lonely at some point in life, but see it like this, a growing point and afterwards coming out stronger. I have been throuhg tough times early on, and sometimes u just have to push
Keep your head high Mike, this will all go away, you are a resilient person. Life has its ups and downs but eventually it all comes together. I will watch your clips when you make them and when my time allows it. A good thought from Romania.
thank you sir! it's because of your authenticity and honesty that I will continue to watch your videos, and to support your channel. please stay safe, and take your time as needed be.
As an older generation male we were all taught in our lives to swallow our feelings swallow the pain swallow the sadness and put on a brave face we were taught not to share our feelings or talk about them we all go through tough times, we all have depression and sadness in our lives especially now with the world we're living in and how tough times are. There are two things you need to focus on right now Mike and that is your mental health and your Financial well-being. If I could I would shake your hand and give you a hug and tell you it's all going to be okay
Long time subscriber here, you are an awesome dude and it’s great that you are working through things instead of making “fake” videos. Keep your head up and your true fans will stick around!
Sorry that you have had a lot of setbacks. I went through a period of loss years ago, but every day can be a day where better things can happen. Get the help you need and don’t beat yourself up. ❤
I’m sorry life has been difficult for you. Your channel is my favorite channel. I love your content no matter what it is. I’ll be a supporter no matter what. Just keep it real. That’s the best part about your channel.
I love your videos, because you find the joy of driving like I once did. About 11 years ago I had a panic attack after leaving the gym. The attack happened while I was driving, and to this day I still have driving anxiety. It's like I'm cursed, because I loved driving fun cars.
My dad had his last at 50 and has been there for all the important things for them - its not too late at all mate its just an adjustment of expectations and logistics etc. I've been watching since the ford dealership uploads and loved a lot of your content so always remember you have achieved a lot over the years and impacted a lot of people positively!
You’re such a good person Mike. I wish you all the success in family and business in life. Unfortunately it’s time to close the door and open yourself to a new opportunity and love. It’s hard it’s really hard but you deserve to be happy.
Mike, I have been living through your experiences for years now. We as men go through life being providers but at some point things don’t work out. Keep moving forward and keep healing. We appreciate you and what you do. I have been down this road and it is re-direction of your life. Everything will be fine and will be ten times better in the future.
Hope thingss get better for you Mike you seem like a good person. and i have been watching your channel for years now i wish the best for you and appreciate your honesty. I'll continue to support you.
Everything does happen for a reason. Sometimes you cannot see it or understand it but it does. The hard part is not knowing. Surround yourself with great friends and family, and you will find your new beginning.
Some times you haft to lay a new foundation. In order to build something greater. Every day you wake up to see a new day. Means you still have purpose in life, so go be great. God’s got you. Love this video bro!!! 🙏🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
Bro, I’m 46, started building my 3 bedroom house at 44, almost complete now, started a small business doing aluminium stuff, i can tell you now, my life has changed, i can almost be certain that at 50 i will have qualified to be called someone who has money, maybe not rich😂but positively on my way there by at least 55. So, i did exactly what you are doing now, did an introspection, got angry with myself and started doing the right thing, putting shxxt together, its doable bruh, its very doable, you can have a kid/s of your own at your age, infact at your age, you can start all over again, you’re not 66 bruh!!!
It takes courage to open up like that. No one ever said life was easy. At best we are on a roller coaster, it's the process not the destination. No matter the circumstances just be the best you can. Great Vid!
@@DanchoM63 it does take courage to open up like that if only what he was saying was true he used his wife’s divorce and oh I’m going through stuff to get used think about everybody. This isn’t rocket science he needs money and for proof of that he needs money he used to own a Ferrari yet he sold it because he couldn’t afford it because his views were going down so to poke at the algorithm RUclips. He started talking about his divorce and all that stuff context with everyone this guy is fake as hell.
When you put so much work into a relationship especially when kids are involved that are not yours, its hurts deep when it crashes, we always blame ourselves. We always find a way out eventually and I know you will! keep grinding Mike
Thanks for taking us along on your journey, Mike. I’m in my later 40s, my wife is a couple years younger than me. We met 22 years ago, but only 8 years ago got married, after each marrying someone else and having children with them. 4 months ago she was diagnosed with a form of stage 4 brain cancer, so odds are she won’t be with us for more than maybe 5 years. I will need a complete restart / reset myself after that.
Mike you have brought a lot of inspiration and joy to my life personally and I will always be greatful for that. I hope everything works out for you and I will always be a subscriber through the good and bad. I appreciate your transparency 💪
Thanks Mike. I definitely appreciate what you’re talking about here. Knocking on the door 55 myself, I certainly don’t have it all figured out. Far from it, but like you, I’m not giving up. Stay strong people are counting on you and those people need you in their life.
Mike, I’m 43 years old. I still have not figured it all out and still stumble on life’s obstacles but we get back up and try again. You’re a bigger man than most. Some walk around and act like nothing ever bothers them. Great video.
I've followed you for a long time. You are a very likable guy. And I enjoy your content and live my car fantasies through you, lol. But at the same time, I feel you, brother. I believe we all go through tough times. My tough time has been the past 12 years... losing both parents and other life events. Your sharing your personal issues might help others who think they are alone. Keep your chin up, and thank you for sharing!
Hey man, we are all here for the best vidoes, and when things are tough. Keep your head up, talk to who you need to talk to, and know that we are all going through different levels of bullshit. We love you back. Stay strong and god bless.
I am 41, and I pretty much understand this sort of situation. Mike though we are not physically present with you, you have a lot of support from on here. Take time to go through the process and as you said never give up. Good times awaits you. Fine someone and move on if that’s in the plan.
Mike can I just say what a top guy you are and I feel your pain brother because I'm 52 and I have been to some very dark places like really dark, life can and will always kick you in the gut but it's how we bounce back, mental heath should be recognised so much more especially for guys its tuff, but I can honestly say I love what you do I look forward to your uploads on both channels, and I so hope I can speak for all your subs out here please keep going Mike we all love you brother and are here for you and are going no where, stay in the fight because better days are ahead focus on 1% a day wins and never never ever give up were here for you buddy, god bless love you brother ❤️ 🙏
I know exactly how you feel of what you describe. I am 50 and went through the same thing last year and still trying to heal. You're not alone and thank you for sharing! It does help and it will get better.
I'm only 24, still got a long way to go to get everything in order...but I definitely know that we're all human & have feelings/emotions. The stronger kind of human is one that is comfortable enough to express those tough times publicly for sure!! You're doing the best of your ability & keep up the fantastic work Mike😊
Mike, i hear you. I have been thinking of the same. No kids, how am i going to be remembered, who can i pass things down to, etc. etc. But in the end, its about you, and me, our lives. As long as you are happy, nothing else matters bro. You are an honest, straight forward, good man, that's enough! Just keep being you, doing your thing, and everything else will fall into place.
Everything in life happens for a reason man, don’t feel down, happens to all of us. the best part is to bounce back and better so go somewhere clear your mind and star a new chapter 🫡💪🏼
Mike, you’re an incredible guy, hang in there! And, I stumbled across your channel back in 2017 during a really low point in my life and your content helped me through it, so know you’re making a difference for other people too!
Mike, just wanted to say that I appreciate who you are and thankful for always being open and honest. Always wishing you the best and hope that you find what you are looking for. Rest assured you have a lot of fans and we appreciate you 👍🏻
A person’s worth is not defined by their circumstances but by their strength to move forward. Give yourself time and permission to feel, but trust that every challenge brings an opportunity for a new beginning. Small steps toward a better tomorrow are enough - and I am confident that the future will surprise you with something beautiful.
You’re a damn Legend Mike. Been watching since 2019. You are easily one of the most genuine ppl man. Good things will be coming to you just watch you deserve it brotha!
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and -- more importantly -- using your platform to encourage others who may be going through hard times. From my own experience excluding death, hard times are rarely ever as hard as they seem and more times than not they're over before you realize it.
I was diagnosed with cancer in 2020. It was a life-changing moment. As the saying goes: “A healthy man wants a thousand things; a sick man only wants one.” I’m not much of a reader, but this book helped me. “Man’s search for meaning” by Viktor E Frankl. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Hope you feel better soon.
We love you mate, you have a guardian angel keeping an eye on you. Stay grateful, remember people will love, hate and be indifferent to what ever you do and age is just a number. ❤
keep pushing.... stay positive, you have a lot of great amazing days ahead. Find that fire that makes you happy again. Routing for you. Praying for you.
I'm 46 and I still haven't figured it all out. I focus on being grateful for what I have. That always helps.
This is the only proven antidote for depression
#Gratitude
oh yeah, yes, always be thankful for what you do have in life, never take for granted any luxury, because it will all be gone soon, sadly, we know the collapse of western civ is right around the bend, china is coming!

As I get older, and have been through many "seasons" in my life, more and more the phrase "don't be sad it's over, be glad it happened" holds meaning.
Same here, 45 years old and currently riding the rollercoaster of life with ups and downs, a lot of downs the last years but fighting through it all.💪🙂 Watching you on RUclips certainly helps.🙏🙏👑 I really like your content and that you are talking about these important questions too. Hang in there, love you Mike, sending lots of positive energy from a snowy Sweden.❤️❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪🌨️🌨️
Life will get better. I went through a divorce at 41. Had to be the worst time of my life, especially when you didn’t want the divorce. Keep your head up and keep moving forward.
@@jimmaines9786 see that’s just it nothing‘s wrong with him. He’s using RUclips to get views and he’s using his wife’s divorce to get views in the end. He needs money to pay his bills and unfortunately, if you don’t make videos then you don’t get money that will strike her with everybody hence my wife and I got a divorce now he’s able to make a little bit of money in revenue off of everybody who watches and feels bad for him. It’s always for me for me for me. It’s never how can I help myself some efforts into it but he also got a channel sponsor through better help a.k.a. I’m getting money
Thanks for sharing man. I pray for healing for you and the family. The pain is real and thanks for being REAL. Helps more people than you know
Hats off to you Mike for being brave enough to be honest about your mental health and setting example for other men out there. As a guy who has also recently been through some challenges it is great to see others taking steps to get better too.
People like you are the ones making real change and with every challenge comes an opportunity to persevere, which I'm sure you will do. Take care of yourself first, then get back to business. All the best.
Ben.
I’m not a regular viewer, but I’ve dabbled over the years and have enjoyed your videos. I even bought a c63s and your videos had a big role to play in that. Hang in there buddy, you got this. Good Times will definitely come!
Hey Mike. I am 28 years old now and been following up to your channel since 2015 (since I was 19). So, basically you are what I am growing up to.
But looking back at what you have done through videos, you indirectly teach us about enjoying life to the fullest (hoopties, straight piping, hanging out with your friends), and how to be responsible (financing stuff, how you take Syd out and be there for her as a Dad, climbing in life from a leased Fusion to the Rari and AMGs).
You are super and you are one of the people that I really look up too. I hope everything will be fine, and wishing you great health and happiness, Mike. We will always be a loyal buddy to you.
I really hope you’ve got a good friend to speak to, cus that’s really important to have. A big hug from a danish guy, to a Swedish guy. Have a great one 👍🙂
Brother, we all go through similar things in life and most of us here can relate with you, the real ones will always know you’re a good man and support you. God bless you and I wish only the best for you.
I’m so sorry your feeling that way. I’m 20 years old and just lost the girl I thought I would marry and my life has been completely derailed. I understand your pain but it will all work out keep your head up Mike❤️
I'm so sorry, stay strong!
block her everywhere and keep urself busy. just went through the same
Time heals brotha go and enjoy the journey
Add value to your life, if you are working, take another course to study to better your self. Stay focused on your goals and life will be better with the right woman soon.
I’m sorry wade. When I heard she was banging some lobster fisherman I was worried about you. Take care bro
One door closes and another opens Mike. You just need to keep your eyes AND your mind open to see that door. sometimes it’s right in front of you but when your mind is always in the past you won’t see it. I tell myself life is just a roller coaster and you have to accept to a large degree you’re not in control. Go with the flow and enjoy each stage of the ride, each stage brings a new chapter and experience in life and one day you’ll look back and appreciate all of them. Been where you are and totally get it. Rest assured you’ll be a happy chappy again soon.
Det viktiga är att du inte ”stänger in dig” utan försök va mer öppen och positiv, som du känns i videon. Och om du kan, se inte bakåt, du vet misstagen, blicka framåt. Du är en bra kille och jag har följt dig i flera år. Vi finns här och stöttar dig. Fortsätt med det du gillar att göra så ska du se att det blir ljusare igen! ❤
Bro, you are helping more people than you might know. You are a good dude and its always came across.
Ngt som hjälpt mig är att inte låta saker äta på mig. Säger alltid ”skit i det”, och det hjälper.
Omge dig med positiva människor som kan ge dig energi 😊
Följt dig länge och gillar att du är så rak och ärlig med saker och ting.
Literally walked in the house after having a breakdown after realizing what I'm going through rn with suffering permanent spine damage from working construction. Hadn't seen your videos in at least 2 years and was the first thing I saw on my RUclips page. Good to see I'm not alone in tough times. Like divine timing seeing this video pop up at this moment.
@@Mr40soccerfan this dude’s fake if he’s really that messed up then maybe he should do a job that doesn’t require RUclips
@@crf1012what do you know? You live in your parents basement.
hey man I feel for you! what you guys go through in that type of work has no equal, you always earn my respect.
@@crf1012Lol, oh the Internet…It just wouldn’t be the same without clowns like you.
Remember that 51% of relationships fail so there are so many of us that have driven down that same road. There is a silver lining in all of the heartache, its just hard to find until you turn that corner. Chin up brother.
Also remember 80% of American women initiate divorce. I think something bad is in the water, LoL.
💯
Wishing you the best Mike. I’m 44 and just starting my career now. Scary as hell. But self doubt is THE biggest enemy. Like others have said - trust in your Lord. We can do this.
Mike your first mistake was marrying a single mother , she wasted your time didn’t have a child with you , left you and now you’re a 46 yy man with no prospects of leaving a legacy behind !! No man who wants to start his own family should ever date or marry a single mother , you’re playing another man’s saved game …..
True single mothers are always quick to marry, but Mike should have enough sense to see that he was getting older and she didn't want to give him a child but so he should have left a long time ago
I can see what your saying but it's not all truth. I know of plenty of strong relationships where eother the mother was single or the father was single with a child and all is well. Plenty of people who go Into a relationship without kids involved at all also have high invested relatiosnhips that fail for one reason or another. Either way, it's unfortunate especially with a child blood or not blood when they become attached to that father figure ect.
@ yeah but he came in the relationship without any children of his own , so my point still stands , any single man that has no child and wants to start a family should avoid a single mother at any cost !!!
"Marrying a single mother" is not the mistake, the mistake is misjudging the character of the person and assuming they share your goals. The same mistake dudes make with non-single mothers. Also, "legacy" is overrated- in 100 years no one will GAF about you, even your own great-grandchildren, despite the fact they are direct descendants of you. You'll be lucky if anyone even has a picture left of you.
Absolutely right look at ALL OTHER RUclipsRS WHO WERE MARRIED BEFORE THEY STARTED MAKING MONEY OR BECOMING A BIT FAMOUS ! Tavarish, Hoovie ! All
Of them got pos wives!! I’m 37 still
Single not looking to
Jump into anything where all
Women today are truly not
Mentally right ! They don’t know how to be in a relationship and do what’s right !
We are all here for you Mike! Be Strong, Stay Strong and continue with life’s journey. You never know what tomorrow will bring.. 👍💪🏻🙏🏻
Mike, everything you said in this video we could feel along way. Thanks for sharing.
Life will get better! Continue to take us along on the journey.
The lows in life suck, but make the highs in life worth while. You'll bounce back. Cheers, mate!
Hey Mike as long as you have good health, you have everything. Focus on the positive things in life. That what I had to do when I went through hard times, and everybody does at some point in their life ! You’re gonna be OK !!!
Man I have been following you for years. Always seemed like a genuine nice funny handsome guy. Your ex was so bitter and angry would give you the side eye every video seemed like you were trying so hard buying her dream cars and Raptors and it was never enough. You raised her daughter as your own. A terrific loving step father. As a man bro you did your duty. Now listen you are 46 but in 2024 that is the new 30. You will find yourself a beautiful young woman in her late 20,s and have beautiful babies with her. I have been through my own mental health struggles and trust me bro it is always darkest before the sun rises. You were an inspiration to me and many other youtubers. A regular dude selling used Fords in Pennsylvania was able to make a RUclips channel successful enough, it afforded him to buy 3 C63 AMGS, A FREAKING FERRARI, AN R8, AN RS7 ETC. YOU ARE A BOSS BRO! NEVER FORGET IT 💪
He probably blew all their money on cars. Probably why she was mad all the time.
Jäkligt starkt av dig att berätta, livet har sina baksidor och man lär hantera den också för att hålla sig på framsidan! Kämpa på 🙌!
Hang in there man! I’m here for (All) uploads, I am 53 and at this age you’re correct we all think that but all in all if you’re happy things all work out.
Hey Mike. Just move to another state and start dating again, it's never too late to start again man
Or another country - Sweden is full of Nordic beauties
@@Christoph-sd3ziPoland as well
No. Stay put and STOP dating.
@@Christoph-sd3zi he moved to Usa from Sweden. He's born and raised in Sweden
Luv to you mate !!! hopefully you continue as your content as I’ve enjoyed everything that you’ve posted from a small town in Queensland Australia ❤
I know you say you and the ex are friends and all that but sometimes its best just walk away and open a new page and forget the past, or in my opinion the women just play with your emotions, akk the best bro
This hit hard Mike. To me, family can be more than just blood relation. We care about you. Life can be tough, but stay strong and it will turn around!
Cheer up Man!! I started watching you since 2016. I remember you made a video you bought a truck for your wife, your first C63 etc etc. Your channel has grown a lot since then. You have accomplished a lot and entertained so many people you never met. Just be yourself. Things will be fine.
This video really resonated with me Mike. I’m in an extremely similar situation, and feeling the same way you described. Some days are definitely better than others. I appreciate you taking the time to post this video because like you said, guys aren’t supposed have feelings let alone discuss them openly. We all go through shit, and we have to lean on each other to push through the hard days. Sending you strength my friend, because this too shall pass
Praying for you Mike, hope you feel better soon
In deed your content has been helpful and inspirational to me going through a break up too. Your content is still entrataining, it's just a more mature and real focus. Keep it up Mike, great things are coming
I’m 26, I graduated with my masters in May just to get shafted and fired from my job in July and not by a small company mind you. It felt like everything was crashing down and now I’m starting essentially from rock bottom, ofc I have my masters but I don’t have corporate work experience and looking for something entry level in this economy has been tough.
But even then I still have to say that this is better than working a job that doesn’t value you and that doesn’t develop you in the way you’re looking for. Despite some of the resentment I still feel I know that I have an opportunity to become someone I want to be and adding those building blocks has only empowered me to move forward in this uncertain time.
It’s never too late to reinvent yourself and sometimes you can only do that when there’s nothing left besides you.
Finally this guy has realised the fact that that old hag he used to live with aint gonna give him sincerity happiness family or kids… good on ya mate! Took u a while but u got there.
Thank you for sharing some honest and vulnerable content. I'm 60 and have been in therapy for the last 6 years and it has made a huge difference in my mental health and my life in general. At least for me, it really works!
Oh Mike
Me too ! I’ve compared it to walking along a kerbstone. You don’t realise that everyone is quite happily walking along, totally oblivious to how easy it is to fall off. You don’t actually realise it until you fall off yourself. Then it hits you - Wow. I never expected that to happen to me. I always thought I was well adjusted and more than mentally capable. I’m ok, but I did find things got on top of me and I did wobble. But luckily I’m ok. I had good job, good wife, kids etc. Then just before Christmas many many years back got made redundant. No job, no money, mortgages and kids and bills and loans and no job. It’s few months before Christmas so nobody is hiring. Christmas was ….
I had no money kids asked “does Santa not like us as next door have loads of presents “
Ended up on a dreadful job, half the salary, really not great. I can’t put in the swear words here as comments will be removed. But ok life didn’t turn out the way I expected but hey I got through and I’m ok
You mate, are young, healthy, good looking, and fun. Please find a new partner and enjoy life with her love, that’s all you need mate
Hey Mike don’t roll your eyes because I’m 15 years younger than you and trying to give advice - but, as someone who went through a divorce (with kids) it fucking sucks. It does feel like starting over. However, in time it gets better (as everyone tells you), way better in fact. The most important thing is having the same mentality you exhibit in this video. Focusing on the positives, growth, and change. My divorce was the hardest thing I ever went through, but the most important and positively impactful part of my life (so far) as well. I believe you’ll realize this too one day soon, just keep your head up 💪
The first step is recognizing that you need to speak with someone to help you understand and deal with where you are at this point in your life. I have no doubt that things will get better for you and better days are ahead. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter in your journey.
I am 23, feel like my life is garbage, but for now I am looking at the positives and things I enjoy. Get in that sort of mindset mike! Everyone does feel lonely at some point in life, but see it like this, a growing point and afterwards coming out stronger. I have been throuhg tough times early on, and sometimes u just have to push
Keep your head high Mike, this will all go away, you are a resilient person. Life has its ups and downs but eventually it all comes together. I will watch your clips when you make them and when my time allows it. A good thought from Romania.
Appreciate your openness and this is a good way of understanding and healing. Thanks for sharing.
😁
thank you sir! it's because of your authenticity and honesty that I will continue to watch your videos, and to support your channel. please stay safe, and take your time as needed be.
As an older generation male we were all taught in our lives to swallow our feelings swallow the pain swallow the sadness and put on a brave face we were taught not to share our feelings or talk about them we all go through tough times, we all have depression and sadness in our lives especially now with the world we're living in and how tough times are. There are two things you need to focus on right now Mike and that is your mental health and your Financial well-being. If I could I would shake your hand and give you a hug and tell you it's all going to be okay
Men have to be tough, but not women and children. So, this doesn't apply to women.
Long time subscriber here, you are an awesome dude and it’s great that you are working through things instead of making “fake” videos. Keep your head up and your true fans will stick around!
Sorry that you have had a lot of setbacks. I went through a period of loss years ago, but every day can be a day where better things can happen. Get the help you need and don’t beat yourself up. ❤
I’m sorry life has been difficult for you. Your channel is my favorite channel. I love your content no matter what it is. I’ll be a supporter no matter what. Just keep it real. That’s the best part about your channel.
I love your videos, because you find the joy of driving like I once did. About 11 years ago I had a panic attack after leaving the gym. The attack happened while I was driving, and to this day I still have driving anxiety. It's like I'm cursed, because I loved driving fun cars.
My dad had his last at 50 and has been there for all the important things for them - its not too late at all mate its just an adjustment of expectations and logistics etc. I've been watching since the ford dealership uploads and loved a lot of your content so always remember you have achieved a lot over the years and impacted a lot of people positively!
I think we all got through that. We will never figure life out, thats part of life brother.
You’re such a good person Mike. I wish you all the success in family and business in life. Unfortunately it’s time to close the door and open yourself to a new opportunity and love. It’s hard it’s really hard but you deserve to be happy.
Mike, I have been living through your experiences for years now. We as men go through life being providers but at some point things don’t work out. Keep moving forward and keep healing. We appreciate you and what you do. I have been down this road and it is re-direction of your life. Everything will be fine and will be ten times better in the future.
Hope thingss get better for you Mike you seem like a good person. and i have been watching your channel for years now i wish the best for you and appreciate your honesty. I'll continue to support you.
Everything does happen for a reason. Sometimes you cannot see it or understand it but it does. The hard part is not knowing. Surround yourself with great friends and family, and you will find your new beginning.
Some times you haft to lay a new foundation. In order to build something greater. Every day you wake up to see a new day. Means you still have purpose in life, so go be great. God’s got you. Love this video bro!!! 🙏🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
Bro, I’m 46, started building my 3 bedroom house at 44, almost complete now, started a small business doing aluminium stuff, i can tell you now, my life has changed, i can almost be certain that at 50 i will have qualified to be called someone who has money, maybe not rich😂but positively on my way there by at least 55. So, i did exactly what you are doing now, did an introspection, got angry with myself and started doing the right thing, putting shxxt together, its doable bruh, its very doable, you can have a kid/s of your own at your age, infact at your age, you can start all over again, you’re not 66 bruh!!!
It takes courage to open up like that. No one ever said life was easy. At best we are on a roller coaster, it's the process not the destination. No matter the circumstances just be the best you can. Great Vid!
@@DanchoM63 it does take courage to open up like that if only what he was saying was true he used his wife’s divorce and oh I’m going through stuff to get used think about everybody. This isn’t rocket science he needs money and for proof of that he needs money he used to own a Ferrari yet he sold it because he couldn’t afford it because his views were going down so to poke at the algorithm RUclips. He started talking about his divorce and all that stuff context with everyone this guy is fake as hell.
Truth is, all of us guys are dealing with a lot of stuff mentally every day man. Life is definitely a rollercoaster.
Really great that you shared this. I am sure it helped many men and I am very sure that many can relate.
When you put so much work into a relationship especially when kids are involved that are not yours, its hurts deep when it crashes, we always blame ourselves. We always find a way out eventually and I know you will! keep grinding Mike
Stay strong, and keep grinding. You'll be OK. Your content is great and has entertained/helped people along their way.
I am 44 and lost my family/ being a daily father . I totally understand how you're feeling. We got this 💪🏼😎
Thanks for taking us along on your journey, Mike.
I’m in my later 40s, my wife is a couple years younger than me. We met 22 years ago, but only 8 years ago got married, after each marrying someone else and having children with them. 4 months ago she was diagnosed with a form of stage 4 brain cancer, so odds are she won’t be with us for more than maybe 5 years. I will need a complete restart / reset myself after that.
Mike you have brought a lot of inspiration and joy to my life personally and I will always be greatful for that. I hope everything works out for you and I will always be a subscriber through the good and bad. I appreciate your transparency 💪
Thanks Mike. I definitely appreciate what you’re talking about here. Knocking on the door 55 myself, I certainly don’t have it all figured out. Far from it, but like you, I’m not giving up. Stay strong people are counting on you and those people need you in their life.
Sending blessings, prayer and strength Mike. We’re here for you brother !!
I've watched your videos from the very beginning and I enjoy it. I hope get on top of it. Hope Everything works out and you make videos great again!
Mike, I’m 43 years old. I still have not figured it all out and still stumble on life’s obstacles but we get back up and try again. You’re a bigger man than most. Some walk around and act like nothing ever bothers them. Great video.
I've followed you for a long time. You are a very likable guy. And I enjoy your content and live my car fantasies through you, lol. But at the same time, I feel you, brother. I believe we all go through tough times. My tough time has been the past 12 years... losing both parents and other life events. Your sharing your personal issues might help others who think they are alone. Keep your chin up, and thank you for sharing!
Hey man, we are all here for the best vidoes, and when things are tough. Keep your head up, talk to who you need to talk to, and know that we are all going through different levels of bullshit. We love you back. Stay strong and god bless.
I am 41, and I pretty much understand this sort of situation. Mike though we are not physically present with you, you have a lot of support from on here. Take time to go through the process and as you said never give up. Good times awaits you. Fine someone and move on if that’s in the plan.
Mike can I just say what a top guy you are and I feel your pain brother because I'm 52 and I have been to some very dark places like really dark, life can and will always kick you in the gut but it's how we bounce back, mental heath should be recognised so much more especially for guys its tuff, but I can honestly say I love what you do I look forward to your uploads on both channels, and I so hope I can speak for all your subs out here please keep going Mike we all love you brother and are here for you and are going no where, stay in the fight because better days are ahead focus on 1% a day wins and never never ever give up were here for you buddy, god bless love you brother ❤️ 🙏
You got this man, keep your head up, just remember you have a lot more things now that you prayed for than before.
I know exactly how you feel of what you describe. I am 50 and went through the same thing last year and still trying to heal. You're not alone and thank you for sharing! It does help and it will get better.
Love you man, you'll get everything figured out one day. Just stay true to yourself and don't ever give up! Much love
I'm only 24, still got a long way to go to get everything in order...but I definitely know that we're all human & have feelings/emotions. The stronger kind of human is one that is comfortable enough to express those tough times publicly for sure!! You're doing the best of your ability & keep up the fantastic work Mike😊
Mike, i hear you. I have been thinking of the same. No kids, how am i going to be remembered, who can i pass things down to, etc. etc. But in the end, its about you, and me, our lives. As long as you are happy, nothing else matters bro. You are an honest, straight forward, good man, that's enough! Just keep being you, doing your thing, and everything else will fall into place.
Everything in life happens for a reason man, don’t feel down, happens to all of us. the best part is to bounce back and better so go somewhere clear your mind and star a new chapter 🫡💪🏼
Mike, you’re an incredible guy, hang in there! And, I stumbled across your channel back in 2017 during a really low point in my life and your content helped me through it, so know you’re making a difference for other people too!
Mike, just wanted to say that I appreciate who you are and thankful for always being open and honest. Always wishing you the best and hope that you find what you are looking for. Rest assured you have a lot of fans and we appreciate you 👍🏻
A person’s worth is not defined by their circumstances but by their strength to move forward.
Give yourself time and permission to feel, but trust that every challenge brings an opportunity for a new beginning. Small steps toward a better tomorrow are enough - and I am confident that the future will surprise you with something beautiful.
You’re a damn Legend Mike. Been watching since 2019. You are easily one of the most genuine ppl man. Good things will be coming to you just watch you deserve it brotha!
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and -- more importantly -- using your platform to encourage others who may be going through hard times. From my own experience excluding death, hard times are rarely ever as hard as they seem and more times than not they're over before you realize it.
Bro - hope you guys are in good terms. Mental health is very important. life goes on man and hope you find what you are looking for in this life man.
Saw you on LadBible! Congrats brotha. I miss the more consistent uploads, but we understand with everything going on in your life.
I was diagnosed with cancer in 2020. It was a life-changing moment. As the saying goes: “A healthy man wants a thousand things; a sick man only wants one.”
I’m not much of a reader, but this book helped me. “Man’s search for meaning” by Viktor E Frankl.
Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Hope you feel better soon.
Good luck on your journey brother,all the best🙏🏾
We love you mate, you have a guardian angel keeping an eye on you. Stay grateful, remember people will love, hate and be indifferent to what ever you do and age is just a number. ❤
keep pushing.... stay positive, you have a lot of great amazing days ahead. Find that fire that makes you happy again. Routing for you. Praying for you.
Never apologize for being true to yourself. Keep learning, improving and growing along the way. Good luck! 🍀
