You can see from the video he can't believe it himself.

I quite liked his comment which was along the lines of enjoy what you've got today because you might not have it tomorrow. Something i should try and learn to do.
Anyone should be allowed to brag. And people who fund their lifestyle should be entitled to comment. Plenty of people have more than him but don't feel the need to post videos of their lifestyle on the internet.
Maybe because those people didn't make their money from putting their lives on the internet?

So much bitterness on here, I enjoyed the video as I didn't realise how pre Youtube, at a young age, he had already set up himself up a bit by buying property and investing. Good for him, most people his age are still living at home with their parents. Looked to do it all himself and as built it up bit by bit.

Why would anyone have a problem with this? Can't win, if they do it with someone elses money you moan, if they do it with their own money you moan.

I think STG was right about this thread.

I really enjoyed that video, and echo the well done Matt comments made above!

I didn't get any smugness or bragging vibes from the video at all, more an inspirational vibe.

Just a down to earth, hard working guy and his genuine girlfriend done good.

I think his whole crew around him massively helps, especially Hannah and "Matts Dad" as everyone calls him! Keeps him and the whole thing grounded and real, you just get no sense of fakeness or agenda from any of them.

Hats off, they are genuinely enjoying life, clear to see and it comes across well in the videos!

Wish them all well.

Anyone moaning about Mat and his video is just trolling at this point.

Thats just the British way though isn't it, some folks just don't like someone who's successful.

No, but those people don't make their living by posting videos of their lives on the internet.

I can’t say Matt A is someone I’ve followed but out of curiosity I just watched his latest video

I’m pretty impressed with the lad’s gumption and his work ethic

Deserves the success imo

I owned a multi level period cottage when we had our first kid. As soon as she started to walk it was a nightmare, all those level changes and little steps meant we needed about 20 child gates.

He's got a whole channel about his garden.
(admittedly it's a big garden!)

Anybody else watch Chris Slix's latest update on his BMW X3M after being tuned, 801bhp is nuts in an SUV.

There were newspaper articles and a feature on Countryfile when he built his 'eco house'.

This. Let’s be nice for a change.

Even the wheels on the McLaren are growing on me!

Its a bit of imaginative fun, and a way of showing the variety of characters who make car YT videos.

Sometimes it is just good to set jokes up on this forum - the above comment about his garden was fair and funny for us all to enjoy.

Anything that winds up jealous tts is fine by me. Hopefully he'll post more of the same.

The vast majority are interested in all aspects of his life. It's a damn sight more interesting than some crap about the Kardashians and he is a much more engaging person than most of the vloggers.

Who is jealous exactly? It's well documented if anybody has watched him from the early days that he's now achieving big viewing numbers, sponsorship from different brands who i imagine are all paying him a decent sum just for mentioning their name in his videos for a minute or two regardless of whether some of them are st or not, property investment he's got going on, It's there for everyone to see.

He's also right in saying that he's enjoying it all now as the bubble could burst and it all goes, and i guess 1 or 2 wrong videos could quite easily change that, the sad fact of reality is that there is people out there that WILL see someone showing off a fleet of sports/supercars etc along with a big house on lots of land and take negatively to it, I don't particularly agree with his "hard work beats talent" thing he talks of as there are thousands and thousands of people who bust their backsides off daily and will never achieve anything like what he has.
