@@Sabadiver Depends on your definition of living. Some see surviving in the woods or on the alm in the mountains as their challenge, it's exciting for them. And others in their 9-5 job complain, they don't have money for the theme park or a musical ticket. It's all just expectation and attitude. Hiking in the mountains or strolling through the forest is for free - and I consider this more than just "existing". You can buy a $50 tent for the whole summer, or rent a $100 hotel room for one night. It depends what you enjoy. For a homeless, the tent is cynical, I know. I just say, no claim fits all.

Have you looked into alternative cancer therapies? Fasting has some benefits as cancer cells starve to death before healthy ones. Also the healthy cells start eating the damaged ones during a prolonged fast. This is known as autophagy. The anti parasitic drugs, fenbendazole, and ivermectin have been claimed to have good results against cancer cells. More common plants, and foods which may have some benefit are garlic, dandelion root, and flowers, cruciferous vegetables, green teas and apricot kernels may also help. Cancer cells also feed off of sugar, and foods high in carbohydrates. Anyway, good luck to you, and I hope that you win this battle.

Happy Birthday again Matt, 23 was it? I wish I was like you, too. I'm at the other end, 25 years of CSA due to 2 previous marriages. It took until 55 to pay the mortgage off, but I'm debt free. I just need Amanda to give up work before I die. 😂 Have a great Birthday, and keep the show on the road because us that can't, can live vicariously through your videos. Thanks for sharing. Happy Birthday.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated 🙏 keep doing what you're doing 🥾

Praise be!!!!! Just a normal bloke saying how it is. Good on ya fella. I hope one day I have the balls to stand up and do something like this. Sick of the routine and non existence. Feel like a spectator watching everyone around me progress. To quote u2....."still havent found what I'm looking for'🤔🙄

lol same here 42, no wife, no kids, no house. i do have a job that's the only difference and i do hate having to make small talk. it's nice and relaxing!

Mental happiness is everything, do what you love to do and it will bring everything that brings joy.

[@Erasmo-wf2il]

It is most common to support a family, that costs a lot. First you have to support the wife, then the children. Having a big budget and not having an itinerary to do things nowadays.

[@johndillinger1918]

Mental happiness is key

Completely relate to the job stuff fella working for London Underground. It’s why I’m looking to break free too and soon!

[@donnyetta]

Glad you are happy! I have chronic fatigue 24/7 so moving into a hotel with them doing household chores, would help me immensely ❤

Doing thing's you don't want to do, with people you don't want to be with. That's the reality for so many workers.

Happy Belated 43rd Birthday!! Be thankful for small blessings and I wish you all the best!!

[@DAN-bc5ev]

That's interesting to hear what you're doing, as a fellow Englishman. However in reality, living with no money can also become a grind cant it? Do you have savings, how are you surviving financially? If youd have bought a house at home at least you could have rented it out while you travelled. A mortgage is not always a trap you know.

[@no_soy_rubio]

As a guy that is almost halfway through his 20s and with a dream to explore the world, I needed to hear this. Thanks for sharing all your adventures, Matt. Happy birthday 🎉

[@wanderbeard]

If I can offer some advice, as someone who's twice your age, don't wait. Don't think "Maybe next year" or "after I get a good job and a house", or any of that. Breaking those norms is hard to do, but so well worth it in the end. My only regret is having waited as long as I did. But as they say, the best time to start something was 10 years ago. The second best time is today.

[@Karibee61]

Happy Birthday! I think it's great you are doing what you want.❤

[@JamoonXerxesSauber]

1:13 this is one of the hardest things about modern society. You get disrpected in your job? You just have to take it. No support. People are too comfortable being disrespectful and anti-social these days because they can get away with it. It's especially bad if you have a professional registration as you're constantly worried about losing your reg. And you know full well the 'perpetrators' will experience zero consequences from any other quarters, which makes it even worse. And they wonder why hard-working people, with relatively well calibrated moral compasses (repsect other peoples space, property and respect their freedom from harassment for instance), dont want to work anymore.

[@totalnonstopholidays]

Happy Birthday Matt! You look great for 43, and happy. 🙂

Happy Birthday Matt, you are spot on with everything you said there. Your travel videos are superb giving everybody a great insight into Latin America, it's food, culture. Workplaces, I just find them a nightmare and totally agree with everything you said. You have done the right thing and got away from the rat race. All the best with your travels and have a great birthday. Travel is one of life's joys exploring, hiking and getting immersed into other cultures.

Happy birthday Matt 😊 life is worth living gotta make the most of it.

[@Tony11806]

When I started work in 1976 I quickly learnt that money is not everything in a job and there is nothing worse than getting up in morning and dreading going to do a job that you don't like doing or working somewhere that you don't like to work. I was able to stop working at 56 and I am 64 now and although not working does get boring at times and even though I was happy in my last job I am still glad I don't have to work anymore.

[@grayfreeman]

Happy birthday Matt!!!! Sounds like you're exactly where you want to be and where you're supposed to be!

I’m 31 and havent celebrated a birthday since I was 14. I am glad you dont allow the curse of pessimism to be the tyrant of your life. Means a lot, as a young hopeless man who doesnt even believe in acknowledging celebrations or birthdays, to see you with seemingly nothing but yet your heart seems full and content. Thanks for that.

On top of all your points explaining your life changes, you are a handsome chap which always helps in getting whatever we want.... oh yes it does! And I have also retired from the railway, many passengers treat train crew like dirt. Good for you in taking action. Don't forget the pension at 55. We never know how long we will live.

It's good to see someone making the most of life. We are all here only once, so live it to the fullest every day. Possessions tie us down, and as long as you have enough money for food and a bed to sleep in, enjoy every day like it's your last day because none of us know what the future holds for us tomorrow. Good luck to you, much respect. 🥰
