    All my videos are filmed using my iPhone 13 Pro Max and edited on CapCut app’.
    For those that don’t know me I was popular on RUclips despite only having my channel for just 8 months.
    I had over 540 videos nearly 1 million watched hours, several thousand subscribers and was gifted products to review from companies.
    Unfortunately in April 2024 I felt compelled to take it down due to my personal safety was compromised.
    However since then safety measures have now been put in place allowing me back on RUclips.

    Your taught from a young age to get into the system. Institutionalised from cradle to grave.
    School is the first institution. You sit together, eat together, learn the same things.
    Teachers will stress the importance of passing your exams....
    Exams that nobody will ever ask to see a copy of ever again in your life.. Thats how important they were!
    Then you can go to college, thats your second institution, where you sit together, eat together learn the same things.
    Then maybe University where you sit together, eat together etc...
    Some join the Army where you sit together, eat together...
    Some go to work in a factory where you work together, eat together...etc
    Your actively herded like sheep on to the hamster wheel, where your encouraged to get hold of some liabilities, a car, a new sofa, a holiday, a credit card, a mortgage... all of these purchases allow the government an opportunity to collect taxes.
    Then they've got you...
    You spend the rest of your life paying taxes and paying off those liabilities
    Individuality is not taught anywhere in these institutions, neither is sound money management, budgeting, investments or taking responsibility.
    Why would they? Its more profitable to herd you into jobs where most people will spend their lives paying off debt.
    The vast majority do not understand fiat money systems...
    Which is very profitable for governments and financial institutions.

      Individuality cannot be taught or encouraged, it's an internal natural trait of the few.
      I did most of the things you mentioned, yet I was always an individual and black sheep of the mainstream. Travelled and explored extensively across 100 different countries on a shoestring... and truly loved it. Been living in a car for the past 5-years and absolutely love it. Life is meant to be enjoyable, happy & stress-free...mine certainly is.

    Hello Mark its Skippy, great video mate. Best take away you said was you work 16 weeks a year, if you have your overheads down to 16 full weeks of the year you are a success. My one suggestion for you would be to build a brand, business, and web site. Then get reviews from every client. Google will love you and you can then have as much perpetual work as you want. You could turn work on and off like a tap. You know how to contact me if you want to grab a beer and go over this. I am 64 and have my 2 year escape plan, then I will work for the highest paying customers, and pick which ones I want to work with. More vanning, fishing, inventing, and biking. Best of all the government can go uck themselves. I am not relaying on them any way in the future. Kind Regards Skippy.
