It was good to see Caleb open up and be vulnerable about his dating anxieties.

00:00:00 - Intro

4:06 it’s nice seeing Caleb helping someone with their recovery. As someone who also struggled with an addiction to something of the crystal variant it’s nice seeing someone understand that it’s not just as easy as stopping I remember in my early recovery I would occasionally get a 20 bag every few months and it’s nice seeing Caleb understands that it’s hard to go more than a few months without a relapse in early recovery

A 30k surgery for sepsis is crazy. My husky had an emergency surgery at a year old for septic perotinitis also, and it cost 900 euros with no insurance (I got pet insurance immediately).
No wonder people in the U.S go bankrupt or need a 2nd job to have a decent income. I find that crazy!

Im a working guy and paying 10$ for a spotify is a game changing vibe you get at the work + the music means alot to me so having that for a 10$ price it means more to me than having I don’t know what kind of a car. It was always about priorities

I have this feeling that Graham don't really want to create value for his money, and he really don't want to spend any. Don't want to hire people for real, even if it's probably profitable. Just really cheap, everything has to be cheap or an investment.

I do everything with the ads. But YouTube has gone nuts lately! The ads are put mid sentence of the video and there are way more ads per video. What YouTube don't think about when it comes to that is that if they get too annoying I (and others) just hop to other platforms.. it's not something that makes non payers to start paying. I rather get my money directly to the people I watch in some way (memberships, patreon, merch and such) then to pay YouTube for subscription.

01:03:46 - Life goals

Graham has small man syndrome, always thinking about money not personal worth. He will die alone with a bunch of money because he’s sad. His wealth has become his personality.

Wow, these dudes are prejudice delusional dbags to the max to tell this wholesome guy on how to live his life.

Togi, Caleb, and Iced Coffee.. take a 5 day trip to vegas... with the goal to double thier wealth. Maybe the best youtube video of all time 😮😂🎉🎉

Watching this makes me realize Caleb is popular because he’s still relatable and hasn’t lost the plot of using money to build a life you want.

As someone who is basically broke, I tip even over-the-counter service most of the time I only leave a dollar or two, but even if I come in and pick up the order, I like to leave at least a buck

01:49:08 - Quitting YouTube

28:29 this statement pretends as if congress looks out for the people. Credit card debt is great for banks. And by proxy, because banks lobby the Congress members, credit guard debts are good for Congress. There's no way they're going to regulate that The only reason why they regulate stocks is because stocks allow people to exit the rat race. It gives the common for much more of a fighting chance, and potential allows the 1% to be expanded into the 50%. But it can also cripple companies and bankrupt the economy if those that are investing in stocks aren't educated enough. And since when does the government want an educated populace? The answer is never. Modern government is doing everything it can to support the rich and exploit the poor. With visible efforts to erode the middle class. Congress isn't helping anybody but themselves and their lobbyists. If that was the case TurboTax wouldn't be a thing. Because, into it, specifically lobbies the government to make the tax code more complex than it needs to be, so that people need to use their services. Lobbyists even stopped the federal government from putting out their own free competitor. The only way this stuff improves is from self-responsibility. Congress is no friend to the lower classes.

I wish we could find someone to help me. If I could just get 10,000 from someone I could pay off my debt and finally get to start my life and work towards fixing my credit. This world is suffocating me all because of decisions I made when I was young and was not taught anything about credit, loans, cards. Then covid I had to survive and missed so many payments. I’m trying so hard and getting nowhere. It’s starting to affect me negatively greatly even though I try so hard to be positive and keep going

@Luv4me427

I’ve been doing $1 for non tip expected places if I should even do that. Did you know at some clubs they have tips for cover??? HAHAHA no tip!!!

@alexc8512

Graham: “don’t pursue your dream of having a family, grow your already established business for another 5 years!”
“If you do date, make sure it’s a real estate agent for the tax benefits!”
Dude cares wayyyy too much about optimization of saving every dollar and not about just living a happy life

@tpurcell6467
@

Graham seems like the worst type of person to take relationship advice from.

@tpurcell6467
@

Damn Graham is out here being sponsored by Rocket Money instead of promoting Caleb's app. Thats Crazy!

@hectorbaez1332
@

Half this conversation is them just calling Caleb fat and telling him to be lonely. Like what?

@14lorod05
@

Graham is calling all yall broke

@samirx03

Caleb, loose 50 pounds and none of those girls will have boyfriends or be married

@joesmiley5726

I’m glad Caleb didn’t listen to any of these ideas 😂

@sbfifi4

No its simple take responsibility always. Not hard. Thats apart of behing an adult

@lanceverbeke2718

What the heck happened at 5:58?

@Savsal12
@

So if you can’t afford a $20,000 surgery (with only a 50% chance of survival, “maybe even 20%”…) for your dog, you shouldn’t own a dog? There’s some extreme disconnect there😐😳

@Keep.the.curiosity
@

Everyone talking trash about Grahams advice are wrong. You should definitely be in a relationship for a good amount of years before you try to make a family together.

@katatonik_klock
@

why does graham see relationships as a distraction. so strange and scary. i wonder how many people he's convinced to "never date again"

@aleister_b
@

Graham doesn’t understand how much kids cost. Most Americans with three kids don’t make $90k+. 😂

@brandonfleet9908
@

Goodness gracious Graham. Shut up about stuff you know nothing about. Kids are not $30k/year. Kids are not a burden. They’re not barriers that get in the way of business goals. They are the goal for many of us. Having toddlers in your 40s is exhausting. If you want kids, the younger the better. Stick to finances.

@ghfan2011

If Caleb lost weight, then he booked every seat on a private plane just to fly around, it should be done as a party for the guests on his show that largely met their goals.. That episode would be a blast and worth a few videos.

@jimwhitehead1532
@

30,000 on a kid per year is absolutely outrageous

@smward1126
@

Graham is a bit too scared. Go on dates man get a prenup

@smward1126
@

A very clear example of how important it is to fix your relationship with money emotionally. Graham is worth millions and it will never be enough. Money is a tool, not everything. Real fulfillment comes from the relationships we create, and all the people that love us! Find your wife Caleb! ❤ ps. I also don’t agree that kids hold you back! They light a fire inside of you!
