17. 0:28wanted to talk about
18. 0:31that i've been working so hard and i've
19. 0:34kind of
20. 0:35lost pictures sometimes of what i've
21. 0:38achieved
22. 0:39in the trading markets and
23. 0:42i've neglected a lot of things in my
24. 0:44life but i've really felt
25. 0:46a difference in how i feel
26. 0:49and i feel i don't feel selfish anymore
27. 0:52like how i did when i was trading
28. 0:54when i was trading it was i need to be
29. 0:56better every single day i need to be
30. 0:58pushing as much size as i can
31. 0:59and that's what excelled me to make
32. 1:03over six million six and a half million
33. 1:05dollars now
34. 1:06and that was the mindset of just being
35. 1:08the best and being selfish
36. 1:09and grinding as hard as i can but now
37. 1:11that i've gotten to where i want to be

73. 2:24beneficial for them

75. 2:28give the money for
76. 2:29um as we get into showing you a tour of
77. 2:32where i grew up in my mom's house
78. 2:34and then my dad's house also um
79. 2:37my parents actually just got divorced a
80. 2:39couple years ago
81. 2:41and it wasn't easy during my um teenage
82. 2:44years
83. 2:45their relationship started kind of
84. 2:46falling apart after i turned 10
85. 2:49and you know they stuck around until i
86. 2:52was 18 they wanted to be by my side to
87. 2:54support me
88. 2:54and watch me grow up and they didn't
89. 2:56want to leave even though it was hard
90. 2:58they stuck around
91. 2:59and they made sure i was 18 and i had
92. 3:03um now my own life that i could create
93. 3:06and
94. 3:07you know it was hard but i just kept
95. 3:08working so i'll catch you guys on the
96. 3:10inside
97. 3:11of my mom's house the wind's just
98. 3:12picking up here so we're gonna go inside
99. 3:14catch you guys in a minute
100. 3:17hey guys i'm back follow me and come
101. 3:20into
102. 3:20my childhood house as you can see it's
103. 3:23it's not going to be anything too crazy
104. 3:25i mean i didn't come from a lot of money
105. 3:27i think
106. 3:28my mom's a school bus driver now and i
107. 3:31think the 50
108. 3:32000 is going to be more than her entire
109. 3:33yearly salary and my dad's an
110. 3:35electrician and i think he makes like 70
111. 3:37or 80 000 a year
112. 3:39so it feels really really good to
113. 3:43make a big difference in my parents
114. 3:45lives like they did for me
115. 3:48so come right in here
116. 3:56so this is definitely the most
117. 3:58embarrassing part of
118. 4:00the house i would always fear my friends
119. 4:02coming over here because
120. 4:04of our carpet kitchen and
121. 4:07i've never seen a carpet kitchen
122. 4:08anywhere else in my entire life
123. 4:10um i mean all these cabinets and stuff
124. 4:14are from the late 1900s and our ovens
125. 4:17from the late 1900s
126. 4:21so that's really what i want my mom to
127. 4:23use the money for
128. 4:24is to kind of redo this entire house
129. 4:27because that's what she deserves
130. 4:29um i've been able to work so hard and
131. 4:31now i get to give
132. 4:32and upgrade the people's lives that that
133. 4:35matter to me
134. 4:38and it was just really tough growing up
135. 4:40in this house because as i'm going to
136. 4:42show you
137. 4:42throughout the entire house it's really
138. 4:44really small and
139. 4:46three of us lived here like i said i was
140. 4:48an only child
141. 4:49but follow me in here this is
142. 4:53the kitchen or the dining room where he
143. 4:56would eat
144. 4:57and then coming into
145. 5:00this this would be the living room
146. 5:05and actually my mom is using extra
147. 5:08padding on the couch right now because
148. 5:10of how crappy it is and it's so
149. 5:12uncomfortable
150. 5:13so she's going to get a new couch she's
151. 5:16going to get a new kitchen
152. 5:19and that's really really going to make
153. 5:20me feel good because
154. 5:23growing up this house just it had a lot
155. 5:25of scars in it because
156. 5:27like i said in my teenage years my
157. 5:29parents really started arguing and
158. 5:30fighting a lot more
159. 5:32and coming into my room i didn't have
160. 5:34any privacy anywhere
161. 5:37this was my room right here and as you
162. 5:40can see my
163. 5:41mom lived right down the hall
164. 5:45and uh i couldn't find any privacy ever
165. 5:48you see these doors are hollow noise
166. 5:51traveled right through
167. 5:52this house there is no privacy anywhere
168. 5:55ever
169. 5:56and not to mention all these doors and
170. 5:59these windows too
171. 6:00are so old and they i've been staying
172. 6:04here for a couple weeks now
173. 6:06and it gets really cold at night because
174. 6:08these windows don't keep
175. 6:11the cold air out the cold air just seeps
176. 6:13right in so
177. 6:14also my mom's going to get new doors new
178. 6:17windows
179. 6:18so the house you know is more
180. 6:21comfortable
181. 6:22and not so open and
182. 6:25um less private and stuff like that even
183. 6:27though she lives
184. 6:29uh by herself now it's still it's just
185. 6:31gonna be nice to
186. 6:32just feel a little bit more secure so
187. 6:34coming into my room
188. 6:37my bed was right over here and that desk
189. 6:40was over there
190. 6:42i mean when i came home and i saw my
191. 6:45door
192. 6:45that's what really brought back a lot of
193. 6:47memories
194. 6:48of just a lot of pain growing up like it
195. 6:52almost feels like
196. 6:53each one of these blemishes on the door
197. 6:55is just a scar for my childhood
198. 6:57um you know and that's that's what drove
199. 7:00me to work so hard and keep going
200. 7:03and not just be satisfied ever and
201. 7:06and keep going because now i have
202. 7:09more more than enough to to give and to
203. 7:13help and to
204. 7:15really create my own dream life and be
205. 7:17there to support my parents as well
206. 7:19who were also there to support me
207. 7:22you know they did all they could like i
208. 7:24said even though it was tough
209. 7:25they stuck around they gave me what i
210. 7:27wanted and they were
211. 7:28they revolved their lives around me
212. 7:32so it's really going to feel really good
213. 7:35helping out my mom coming into
214. 7:41the bathroom now my mom's actually super
215. 7:44handy
216. 7:44and she's been trying to redo a lot of
217. 7:47the house
218. 7:48um but it's just a lot of work and she's
219. 7:51getting older and i don't want her to
220. 7:52keep trying to
221. 7:54you know fix up this door she was just
222. 7:56trying to
223. 7:57sell some things on let go and get rid
224. 8:00of for
225. 8:0040 70 bucks just to scrape some money by
226. 8:04so she can buy some new things
227. 8:06and um you know redo the house a little
228. 8:09bit
229. 8:09and kind of like sell some things off so
230. 8:12it's been really really tough
231. 8:14um for both my parents right now and
232. 8:17you know all their money went into me as
233. 8:19a kid i was asking for a two thousand
234. 8:20dollar bike and
235. 8:21ten thousand dollar quad and it just
236. 8:26all of their money and time always went
237. 8:27to me so now it's my turn really to give
238. 8:29back
239. 8:30i don't want anything for my birthday
240. 8:32this year i told them that and the only
241. 8:33thing i want to do is to give back to
242. 8:35them
243. 8:36because of what they did for me growing
244. 8:39up and even though it was hard they
245. 8:40they stuck with it and they raised me as
246. 8:43best they could
247. 8:44with what they had so following me
248. 8:47into the bathroom as you can see
249. 8:54as i was talking about the windows like
250. 8:57these windows are just
251. 8:59like i can barely even open this window
252. 9:04it's just so old and and so
253. 9:08crappy honestly um
254. 9:13and just the shower is just not the
255. 9:16prettiest that the wall
256. 9:17the ceiling is all just
257. 9:21gross looking i mean there's holes
258. 9:24there's holes in this door as well um
259. 9:28so our mom really deserves batter
260. 9:32and i'm going to finally be able to give
261. 9:35it to
262. 9:36her and it makes me super super proud um
263. 9:40other than that though guys i think that
264. 9:43is all i kind of really want to talk
265. 9:44about here
266. 9:46that's the entire house that's it um
267. 9:50but one thing i would want to know is
268. 9:53that
269. 9:54now we do have in upstairs where my
270. 9:56mom's bedroom is now
271. 9:58but during my childhood and growing up
272. 10:02this this is just new a couple years ago
273. 10:05so
274. 10:05this is all that we had when i was
275. 10:07growing up
276. 10:08i'm going to catch you guys on the way
277. 10:10to my bank and i'm going to explain
278. 10:12what i'm going to do for my dad and how
279. 10:13i want to help him now
280. 10:15um and then after that we're gonna go to
281. 10:17my dad's house first and surprise him
282. 10:19and then after that we're gonna come
283. 10:20back here
284. 10:21and finish it off surprising my mom so
285. 10:23i'll catch you guys momentarily
286. 10:28hey guys on the way to the bank right
287. 10:30now so i just wanted to talk about my
288. 10:32dad for a little bit
289. 10:34and mainly the one thing that my dad did
290. 10:38was
291. 10:40he you know he stuck around and he
292. 10:42waited for me to grow up before my
293. 10:44parents
294. 10:44split apart and they had a lot of times
295. 10:47where
296. 10:48they would have to separate for a little
297. 10:50but my dad he always came back
298. 10:53to be there for me and
299. 10:57throughout trading he said i was going
300. 10:58to and he said that
301. 11:01i should just get an electrician job
302. 11:03like him and just work
303. 11:05and make my money and
304. 11:09now that i've
305. 11:12achieved a lot in trading it's not like
306. 11:14that
307. 11:16i want to be like ha ha screw you like i
308. 11:19did it dad like in all this
309. 11:21i know that he only said that because he
310. 11:24truly
311. 11:25loved me and cared about me
312. 11:28so much that he just didn't want to see
313. 11:31me fail he didn't want
314. 11:32to see me not make any money he'd rather
315. 11:35have me take the safe way
316. 11:37and that's kind of his approach
317. 11:40but in my in my heart in my brain
318. 11:44and with all my energy i knew that
319. 11:4710 of traders were successful and i was
320. 11:50in
321. 11:51a position to put all my time and energy
322. 11:54into it
323. 11:56and i really believed that you know i
324. 11:58could make it so even though he doubted
325. 12:00me
326. 12:01he made me work even harder because he
327. 12:04always
328. 12:05reinforced that you know this is going
329. 12:07to be hard this is going to be um
330. 12:10very challenging and it's not just going
331. 12:13to come easy so
332. 12:14having him doubt me help me because
333. 12:18um if everyone's always just like you
334. 12:19got it you go like you got this
335. 12:22you're not going to get anywhere because
336. 12:24sometimes you need
337. 12:26that that doubt that hate that you need
338. 12:28that motivation to keep pushing
339. 12:31and that's what my dad gave me so
340. 12:34there's no
341. 12:35hard grudges with anything that he's
342. 12:37ever done for me at all
343. 12:39because i know that anything he's ever
344. 12:41done is just
345. 12:42out of love um so
346. 12:46basically my dad's been talking about he
347. 12:48really wants a boat
348. 12:51and a couple uh nights ago at dinner he
349. 12:54was like
350. 12:54i just don't have the 10 000 to you know
351. 12:57i'm not just gonna
352. 12:58shell that out for a boat right now like
353. 13:00i can't so
354. 13:03i'm going to load up my pockets with
355. 13:06five grand each
356. 13:07or uh 10 grand each and
357. 13:11we're going to surprise him when he gets
358. 13:12home from work momentarily after we go
359. 13:14to the bank
360. 13:15and uh we're going to surprise him when
361. 13:17he gets home with
362. 13:18twenty thousand and um
363. 13:23after i came back home from michigan
364. 13:26once i came home back to connecticut i
365. 13:27was
366. 13:28over his house every single night for
367. 13:29dinner and they would always give me
368. 13:31leftovers so
369. 13:32i would eat and i would have food and
370. 13:35like i was saying just a few nights ago
371. 13:36i was over his house
372. 13:38and he made salmon and uh
373. 13:42what else did he make sweet potatoes and
374. 13:44broccoli and it's basically my favorite
375. 13:45meal
376. 13:46and he gave me a big quantity to take
377. 13:48home so i'm gonna refill
378. 13:50that container um let me grab it real
379. 13:53quick
380. 13:54i'm gonna refill this container with an
381. 13:57additional thirty thousand
382. 13:59um and i'm just going to be like hey i
383. 14:01got your container for you
384. 14:03and it's going to be another 30 000
385. 14:05inside this container
386. 14:07so i'm really excited i think that will
387. 14:08really really surprise him after that
388. 14:10um and that will total his 50 grand that
389. 14:12i'm gonna give him
