DO NOT BUY A 10YR OLD MERCEDES, you will spend more on maintenance than either leasing a new car or buying a non German used car. A 10 year old Lexus is a safe used luxury option and will last for years without any huge wallet breaking costs.

[@JoseRodriguez-lp7rs]

Talking from experience I reckon

[@cccycling5835]

I agree but there are some Mercedes I recommend. C class or E class typically. And get the cheapest trim level. Less things to break after 10 years. Any Lexus is 🔥 tho. I still own my 02 GS300, best car Toyota ever made.

Concept artist here. I just restrict my game time to “study” time. I take notes on designs and ideas I like when I play games. I only buy 2-3 games a year.

[@esponru5602]

@jamescornwell9502 same here, I only play on weekends for 1 or 2 ours a day maximum. But I do it to enjoy it as the piece of art the game is. Mostly single players with rich environments, good stories and wonderful art direction. I really enjoy it, it is like watching a good film for me

[@Numantino312]

if you do gaming/development for work, i suspect you would do notably better with it if you designated some game-free time, ideally for a physical activity. and all the better so if for a team sport, ie soccer... even if it's just one day per week, or only a few hours on that day, it will reset your brain and make you ready to go back into the gaming world with a vastly sharper edge.

[@esponru5602]

@Numantino312 yeah that's something I need actually, I love baseball but in the country I'm working sadly it is only possible to play it during 5 months a year due to the cold temperatures. Although I do every day some kind of mid or low intensity training to give my body and brain some activity during the cold seasons

@@esponru5602 recently fell in love with lacrosse. in my part of the states (north dakota has short summers too), it's not terribly popular, and 90% of it is done at high school level. at adult age, one has to be a super-organiser + persuasive personality to get a team sport going. 😐 sounds like you understand importance of physical activity regardless. hope you find a way to spend some time on the diamond.

[@holdingspace]

Gotta take the opposite approach here. I got deep into Counter Strike in my teenage years. It led to my career in finance as it gave me a fundamental understanding of trading. It made me sociable as being the an in game leader when I played with friends thrust me into student leadership positions. It taught me self improvement as I always suspected the enemy of using cheats as a last resort - I always thought ‘if he’s legit, how would we pull that off?’. Even staying up at night for an objective to play so many matches taught me dedication - something I lean on in my part time law school at the moment. Ultimately, I don’t think its video games but rather how one approaches and makes sense of experiences - not just video games.

[@Aurora-bv1ys]

​@@holdingspacetrue. I however do believe in dialing back a bit on online games. I think online games suck the soul out of me personally. Plus they are made on the same model as how addictions work. Which is why I believe story mode games are simply better.

[@francescorocchi4251]

Salutation, don't mind me too much maybe I'm too late but I will nevertheless say that every activity can bring good things for your improvement like abilities or knowledge or coordination like reflex, everything depends on how much time you dedicate to them as matter of speaking also keep lasting even for videogamess. But this games also can have effect on improving some kind of brain functions like imagination or 3d reasoning and memory and spark new passion in you that will you pursue new pathways and reflex like mind hand one as I was saying before about coordination. Though the equilibrium is key. As alwaus said it is the dose that makes the poison from an old chemistry professor. You can still play but do over waste money and time on it as yiu wouldn't do the same overtraining in gym maybe. Keep it sane and clean you're the one in control also try to avoid games online where there is a toxic chat environment. These are many masterpiece that now costs less than you think and I will suggest them cause they also bring in them valuable lessons of life. Told this have fun. Kind rewards my fellow gentlemen 😂😏

Great video, I have to disagree on the video games point though. Games made by companies like Rockstar, Insomniac, and others make impactful and enjoyable interactive experiences that tell stories and teach lessons that would be too long and detailed for a movie format. There’s also nothing wrong with spending a couple hours on a good battle royal game every now and then to foster your sense of competition.

Even something like Pacific Drive is a nice way to relax. Like any hobby, it is up the the user to be responsible in terms of how much time they spend on it.

[@bp4187]

[@hangtimedangjang]

As a wise-learned middle aged man, I would caution a young man against purchasing any 10 year old car, including a Mercedes unless you can buy it outright and not feel the financial squeeze. If you finance a car that old, you'll be paying for the car AND the inevitable maintenance needed on any vehicle of that age (and Mercedes are not cheap to fix). My advice is to find a nice car that's a couple of years old with 50K or so miles. Someone else has already taken the depreciation, and you'll have a newer car that you can drive for several years while you build your wealth. THEN you can buy the Merc and impress your friends. A nice watch on the other hand, is a one time purchase, probably won't need servicing for several years. There's something about the low key IYKYK-ness of wearing an Omega Seamaster that just gives a man a boost. If you're going to splash out on a luxury item, a good watch will last more than a lifetime.

[@skzion2]

You make a great point, but most men don't have any watch at all, or have a piece of garbage. Seiko or, even better, Orient, is a great alternative to a $5-8K watch that you really can't afford. Notice that Orient only makes mechanical watches. I think a gentleman should never wear quartz OR a so-called designer watch.

Good advice. well made video and subject matter. A year ago I went in to an MB dealer to get a CLA45 and lease it. The dealer recommended a demo they had that they could give me cost on, a CLA35. It was cheap enough to pay cash and although both were within my means, the 35 was a much better deal since I've been going to that dealer for decades- this was a hook up. No car loans needed, well within my price range, still an epic car. I'm glad I settled. A few months ago I was in the market for my first Rolex. Instead I got a nicer Breitling for half the cost and with the money I saved I started making my own watches- another hobby, and a useful skill. Now, I'm not a watch snob, I am educated on the subject via first hand experience instead. Learn to do everything, find useful hobbies, be self made, a man with skills, not just money. People will treat you differently and look to you for answers. These were just two examples, it's time we all create our own as learned men of interest.

[@maximiliandonegan5156]

I concur with the points raised in this video and extend my gratitude for the insightful discussion. In today's context, particularly within the United States, leveraging thrift stores has proven to be an effective strategy for acquiring high-quality attire such as suits, ties, and shoes at a commendable value. Location plays a significant role, and residing in proximity to affluent areas enhances the likelihood of finding premium items. Personally, frequenting Goodwill establishments situated in upper-middle-class neighborhoods has yielded favorable outcomes for me. I am keen to explore further avenues for prudent financial management. I welcome any additional insights or strategies from fellow viewers on effectively managing expenses.

[@onceuponatimeinamovie3577]

Another financial tip I’d offer is to be consistent with your income and overall wardrobe. As a student, I’ve made some large, impulsive purchases, as well as some well-thought-out ones. I once went to Suite Supply for a tailor-made suit, spending $2,000 without hesitation. On the other hand, at the same store, I bought a pair of trousers for around $450 with taxes, which was a frivolous expense. I understand that the fabric is likely high quality and will last a long time, but consistency is key. Wearing $400-$500 trousers doesn’t make sense with a $30-$40 shirt. It’s pointless to have one extremely expensive clothing item. You can find high-quality items that may not be Egyptian linen but are still durable and stylish, allowing you to economically own multiple pieces. For me, once I tried something on in the store, I felt bad backing out in front of the salesperson, partly due to my ego. We should also have a desire for consistency. Sometimes it’s beneficial to look for bargains and consider used items of good quality. If not used, it’s worth exploring alternatives while being mindful of the fabric. It might also be interesting to make a special video about fabric care, including cleaning processes and recommendations for maintaining high quality. After all, it would be a shame if an expensive garment looked worn or faded after just a year.

My timepiece is a Burei, which garners compliments all the time.

I'm a bit older than you, and being a big fan of the super famicom back in thd day inspired me to learn Japanese. I think of games as another form of art, a lot of work goes into them. I appreciate the soundtracks especially on retro games. My son has learned aot from playing minecraft. I suppose it's a question of whether every hobby or interest should have a productive outcome or if it can be enjoyed from its own sake. Definitely agree nothing good comes from playing 8 hours a day! But you can let any hobby get out of hand I'm English and if people start talking about football my eyes glaze over. They can talk about it all day! Love your channel, you've inspired me to start dressing better after a bit of middle age dad Comfort wear.

You might like to consider covering Horse Racing. 40 years ago a friend introduced me to the joy of horse racing. He was a gambler, but I was not, it had no appeal to me. But I started to wonder why the late Queen Elizabeth was so involved in racing as well as so many other gentlemen of standing. Lord Howard du Walden for example at the time., the Aga Khan. Then I discovered it was all to do with the breeding and the classics, particularly the Derby. The great late Sir Henry Cecil trainer was a superb role model of how a gentleman should dress and conduct himself in public, and the sport of kings has been a very rewarding interest of my since then, but absolutely not gambling, which is just a waste of money.

Great clip! What brand watch are you wearing? Thanks

I do believe it can be possible to find enriching community, healthy competition, and real joy from playing video games. Obviously more solitary games are lacking in the social component but if you can control yourself and not binge entire days away in front of the screen or at the table, gaming in general can be a healthy, stable, and fulfilling way to develop a community at a “third place”-somewhat like being a regular at a bar or the like.

What about a Video how to act like a dekadent Jet Setter without Money,- like going to Grand Openings of exibitions ( free drinks and catering) or to Horse Races without placing a bet ( Sitting and cheering in the first row is such fun!) Cheers

[@Gent.Z]

Haha that is quite a funny idea

[@jerryc5743]

2:36 - @Gent Z - if not overdone, can one piece of your ensemble, whether a sweater or, in warmer months, a polo, sport the Ralph Lauren logo without being gauche or over the top?

I enjoy that a young man is teaching his generation how to be that "classic gentleman." We don't need another generation of 40-60 year olds dressing and acting like poorly reared teenagers.

[@PyroClit]

A gentleman should only pirate the Onlyfans content and not buy.

[@Aurora-bv1ys]

Lol

[@devindemond1972]

Brilliant 🥂✨

[@ma.ku.520]

Video games is a good point!!

[@Tee55118]

women and simps spend, men invest. Cars depreciate; I rent when I need a car. I hate watches: they irritate my skin. I know that I'm supposed to wear a watch, but my sensitve skin can't handle a watch. I will do strings or simple bracelets: I wish you could recomment a watch for Gentleman who don't like watches. I tried a pocket watch, once, until it broke. Should I try a pocket watch, again?

It's irritating that any link will cause a response to be removed. Check out titanium watches. Some people are allergic to the nickel in stainless steel. Search for Teddy Baldesarre's video on titanium watches.

My Mercedes (CLS 350 CSI) is now 16 years old. I bought it new and I have never had any significant problems with it and believe me it makes a much better impression than a Lexus.

[@maniwyatt6559]

Love my Benz! The maintenance is very little, very well built.

[@peterdockrill9653]

I can literally buy any car I want but drive a 25 year old VW polo,I get it it serviced every 2 years, had it 20 years and only let me down once. Wouldn't waste money on expensive watches.With clothes I buy mainly one expensive brand, Paul and Shark. Their knitwear and leather jackets are quality and looks good.Not to sure about their other ranges like shirts and trousers. I only buy them at the right price though.
