if i was you
I'm often told what I should do with my money, my travels, my insurance battle, and even my life. But I've noticed something missing from much of the advice people give online. Four simple words. In this video I look at three real comments from viewers and explain why those four words matter more than most people realise. I’m John. 48. Scottish. In September 2025, my wife Yvonne and I left the UK to rebuild life differently. No fixed plan. No guarantees. I document the reality of it through YouTube, investing, travel, routine, grief, reinvention, and the strange process of trying to slow life down after decades of constant pressure.
