Expensive Things That Actually Make You Money

Everyone talks about saving money, but what are the big expensive things that have either saved you money or make you money?

Oh, I've got a list of at least seven or eight expensive things that paradoxically will save you money. The first I'm going to tell you is a driver. So. So, absolutely one of the best investments I have made in my life is having a driver. Because let's say you drive yourself, you'll get stressed when you're there, you'll probably get lost, you'll be dead time for two or three hours. You gotta stop for petrol, you gotta figure out the destination route, you've got the depreciation and maintenance on your car. What's that worth to you? What if you could sit in the back, do two hours of work? So a good hour of work for me is about five grand. I've worked it out. In my book Life Leverage, I talked about how to work out your income generating value. Now, by the way, sometimes I get paid 32 grand for an hour speech, sometimes I do a launch and it might make a few hundred grand. Obviously we all have admin to do as well, that doesn't make so much. But I've worked out a good average hour of work for me. Should make me five grand. And a driver costs me, I don't know, couple of 300 pounds per hour or per journey sometimes depends on the car that you get. And when you start this, what you don't do is go and hire a driver for 40 grand a year. What you do is you hire him for one journey and he'll wait for you. So when I go to a speaking gig, I might be on for 90 minutes an hour either side. So he'll drop me at the door and he'll pick me up in the three hours that I've asked when I want to be finished. So it's door to door and I don't think I've paid more than 300 odd quid. I mean, okay, if you're going 500 miles, might cost you 500 quid, you turn up relaxed, you've done two hours of work, you've saved or made a few grand, you haven't got stressed about the traffic. You can do calls, you can do voice memos, you can have your laptop in the back, get yourself a driver who's got like a Mercedes, you know, and move the seat forward and you've got nice leg room. They've got Wi Fi in the car. This is a game changer, Cane. In fact, I'm surprised you haven't tried it yet because you've got your nice M4.

Yeah.

And you probably like cruising in it.

I do.

And showing off actually, it's the first time yesterday I've been in it. Yeah, it's really nice.

It's not bad.

Yeah, well, saying it from someone who has expensive cars, it's know the screens are nice, it was comfortable but you know you're losing hundreds of pounds an hour driving.

All right, how about let's, let's stick on travel then? Because I know you'll normally travel first class. That can be quite an outlay. What's the upside to that if economy is, you know, it's going the same, going to the same location anyway?

Well, if you get a train, let's say where I live, to London, in normal time, the upgrade to first class is about 15 quid. In busy times the upgrade might be £30 from standard to first class. You're guaranteed a seat, you can get some food. So if you want your 15 to 30 quids worth of food, you can just nickel the food, you can do the hour of work, you can save yourself or make yourself a few grand. You get there relaxed and if you book in advance, you know you can save quite a lot of money. Planes. So I kind of have a rule. I like to sit in the back of cars but the front of airplanes, whereas most people are the opposite way around. So I personally actually think private jets on your own are a waste of money unless it's a tax write off. But with a group of you it's a good investment. But we can come to that if you want to talk about that, because I'm still on planes so I actually think first class is a bit of a waste of money on most flights. But business class is the best value for me in cattle class. I've got no legroom, literally like that because I'm 6 foot 3 and it's uncomfortable and there's noise, distraction. Whereas in business you've got pretty much the same space as first. But I rack up million. I'm an air miles millionaire. I was a millionaire in real money age 30, 31 deca millionaire age 35 and I became an Air miles millionaire not far after, you know, because I use my credit cards on the BA American Express and rack up millions of air miles. So for me business class is actually really just a bit of money, plus the taxes, but the time you save because you can sit and do your work in a relaxed way and save or make yourself a few grand an hour, obviously you get Better food, you've got more space. And this is the thing as well. I don't know if anyone can relate to turning up somewhere stressed or late or behind. How long does it take you to then calm down? Maybe an hour, maybe two hours. Maybe it winds you up for the whole day. I mean, I know people, if someone just cuts in front of them, you know, in traffic, they get freaking angry. They're giving them the bird and they're angry for the rest of the day. What happens if you're late, you've got stuck in traffic, you're supposed to have a meeting, you're like, I've screwed the meeting up. Whereas when you travel in this first class or business class style, you can arrive early, comfortable, relaxed. And here's the funny thing, I don't know if you've ever noticed this, but I probably get double the amount of work done on a plane and on a train and in the back of a car, even compared to when I'm in the office and working. So, you know, we recently went to Ireland, didn't we? Yeah. And you might have noticed I paid the upgrade to sit in the space.

Yeah, yeah.

No one was sat on the front because they didn't want to pay the upgrade. I paid the upgrade and I was on my laptop and I smashed out probably two to three hours worth of work I'd have done in my office, even with a shut door. And no one interrupted me in what, 45 minutes on the flight. Game changer.

How about let's go into the private jets then?

So private jets are shitloads of money. How do you justify paying 25 grand just to go from the UK to France as a one off. Whereas if you get five or eight of your mates or business associates and you go together and you have like a mastermind session and you pull in and it. All right, it's a few grand each, but it's not tens of thousands and you can do some business. I think maybe it's worth it to pull it together.

I think I'd agree. Also hack on trains. There's an app called Seat Frog which you can get upgrades like 10 quid. I got that from a client who's in Leeds, come here to film with me and ash three hour train. It's 11 pound upgrade. Wow. I ate that 11 pounds in the first 20 minutes. So it's like all good. And with private jets, I can't remember the name of it, but I follow them on TikTok. But they'll. They post empty legs. So if you know, you're going anytime really in the next month you can get from like here to France, like you said would be 25, you can get it 3. Get that and a couple of people in a few hundred quid. That's you know, ba's price to do.

Some social media content inside the private jet.

Oh yeah, for your house, which is.

What a lot of people do have. Don't really own one.

Yeah, of course, yeah, that's good.

All right.

What else do you spend money on that makes you money or saves you money?

Cook, cleaner, housekeeper, like it's a close run thing between the driver and the cook, cleaner and housekeeper. It is one of the best investments ever. Now in my book Life Leverage, I wrote probably 50 or 60 different things you can do in your life to create leverage. Scale, outsourcing, save time, make money. And there was just one short chapter on your personal life and it was cook, cleaner, gardener, driver, blah. And that by a factor of 10 to 1. Always got the best feedback. People loved that section. So. And you love cooking, you love cooking. But I don't love cooking. I usually burn it it up, get stressed and it's 45 minutes or an hour or even 30 minutes of time that you've lost, unless you love cooking. So you can get a part time cook to come in and cook a couple of times a week and you can get them to cook your meal for then and then cook you some pre packed for the next two or three days and you can do that twice a week and it might cost you a couple of hundred quid depending on where you live. What great leverage because you can have really good healthy food. And here's what you can do as well. When you've got friends or business associates or you want to do business, get them over, get the cooking makes you look like a big dog. Hiring the private chef only, you know, might cost you 120 quid. I get a private chef to come in on Christmas day and cook really great experience because you can never really book anywhere. So for sure a cook. You know, if you say, hey I have a private chef, people are going to assume you're really fucking rich and they're maybe going to see that as an opulence. But for me it's the time saver again. It's the life quality. Like one of the lowest value tasks that anyone can do is to clean. Like you don't make any money and you can outsource it for what, 15 an hour, you know, and I get a pretty high quality one she's very good. She, she loves it. She listens to her music or does calls or listens to like podcasts. She's Eastern European, comes in, works hard, don't need her full time, need her two, three times a week. Like house is immaculate, tidy and clean because obviously they're different and what a great use of money. She's like five times as fast as you know yourself or your wife would be gardener again, you know, getting someone to come in every two weeks just to, to trim up your garden. Now some people like doing it for therapy. I would say if you love cooking and gardening and you put a podcast on like this and listen to it in the background, that's good time leverage. So I'm not saying don't do things you love but you know, on a fairly fairly so on a fairly fairly fairly, on a fairly fairly fairly, on a reasonable budget, you can live like a king with a part time cook, cleaner, garden. I'm very excited to announce a special long term partnership with Direct Bullion. People must ask me hundreds if not thousands of times where I buy my gold and silver. How to buy gold and silver?

You know, this is one of the biggest things I've learned from you. And by the way, when people say money doesn't bring you happiness. Bullshit. Cause this makes me very happy. So, winter months, have a dog walker.

Yeah.

Do it in the mornings whilst it's sunny at the moment. Good to get my steps in, listen to a podcast. Great. If you don't necessarily always have a cook, there's things like muscle foods, which would be like your high protein, low calorie.

But when you pay for all of those, they're quite expensive. You can almost afford a chef.

Yeah.

On the cost of those. Because if you get the chef in once, like, no chef's going to charge you more. In a normal place. All right, Central London, it might be different. New York, it might be different. But locally, they're not going to charge you much more than 30 quid an hour. They're going to come in for two or three hours, you're going to pay max 100 quid. You might get four days worth of food out of that.

Yeah. I mean, it's gonna be better than frozen meals, of course, but even on a lower budget. That's what I started with. Cause when I first was listening to that, I kept thinking, oh, no, can I afford that? Should I be spending money on a dog walker and food delivery and a cleaner and a gardener? I paid for all of those things and then I made more money.

Do you know who my first chef was?

Who?

My mum. So I wasn't seeing my mum as much as I should have been because I'm busy building an empire. My mum actually used to be a chef.

Oh, really?

So anyone could start by getting a family member to come in and cook. Time to see them keep the money within the family.

I like that. She's still cooking, you know, my mum.

She's busy. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. What else do you have?

Watches. Watches.

What's on your wrist now?

This is an iwc, big pilot in the Mojave Desert. Ceramic finish, rolls off the tongue. Yeah. So everything we've talked about so far, you said cost, I say investment. And you need to know the difference between a cost and an investment. A watch can be a cost. If you buy an amiga out of the window in Amiga on Bond street or whatever, and you pay 10 for it and three years later it's worth five, that's a cost. Whereas if you buy a Rolex Daytona or Patek Philippe Nautilus, and I'll tell you about IWC specifically in a moment because they're a bit of a. They're an up and coming, very high end brand. But if you buy a Rolex Daytona, that Daytona will beat inflation. As long as you don't buy it new, well, you can't buy it new, but as long as you buy it, well, it'll beat inflation. So it's an investment. But it will open doors. In terms of, on your physical body, probably the biggest door opener is you and your energy and, you know, your relatability. I would say the second biggest door opener is your watch. Maybe if you were wearing sandals, that might shut the door. So maybe shoes. But like, you should pick wisely certain items. So I've had a little bit of criticism for what I'm about to say, but this is from broke people, but I'm going to say it, it is a far better use of 10 grand to have it in a Rolex than to have it in a savings account. Because in a savings account that will go down in value every year and be used by the banks and the government at your risk, because savings do not beat inflation over time. Whereas you put it into a Rolex, if you buy, well, that will beat inflation because Rolex put their prices up 5 to 8% every year religiously. And what business deal might you get out of it? What network might you get in? What connection might you have? So watches are one of the few things where the more you spend, the better the door is. That's opened. I told you, didn't I? I met a billionaire recently. He's the 22nd billionaire I've interviewed on my show Disruptors or I've Got to Meet or had as a mentor. And he was kind and we were setting up and it was like, you know, when you meet people you don't know for the first time and it's this, they're nice, but there's that awkwardness. You can't get over that. That's just always there until you've got rapport. He like, we're in his house. David was there setting up real quick, I'm there, we're in their house. Ooh, do they trust us? And I saw he had a Patek Philippe aquanaut on. I went, ah, you wear an aquanaut and Immediately, within five minutes, we chat about Patek Philippe Aquanaut, Patek Philippe Nautilus. I noticed he had a Vacheron like, you know those big thick coffee table books, one on Vacheron. And I was like, you like Vacheron too? Because most people don't know who Vacheron are. He's like, yeah. And he told me the story of how they made him of a one of one. And within those five minutes, we had rapport that may have taken four or five meetings to create so much. So we're actually, we're meeting up in September.

Damn.

And this recent budget should warn you that your pension is not safe and secure and they're coming for your inheritance. Do you even know how much is in your pension or where your pension is invested? Add to this the recent inheritance tax grab on your pensions and the risk of a market crash. You probably didn't know this and I didn't until recently, but physical gold can be added to your pension. Pot gold is inheritance tax free and has grown 700% in the last 20 years. You probably know from my content I'm investing heavily in silver and gold and that's why I've partnered with Direct Bullion. Myself and Nigel Farage are brand ambassadors and direct bullion can help you with gold to protect and grow your pension. I buy my gold and silver from direct bullion and I don't earn any money on any purchases of gold or silver if you buy direct from Direct Bullion.

As you know, I don't do many strategic partnerships and when I do, I, I do them with people who are credible, who've been doing it a long time, who invested things that I invest into. And gold and silver's going wild. I'm investing heavily in gold and silver and I recommend you check out robmore.directbullion.com they go up in value and they outlive you and you can pass them on to your children and the growth is tax free.

Damn, that's a good one.

Yeah.

All right, how about the million odd quid in cars you've got?

I think that if you buy the right car in the right company structure, it's a massive investment, even if it goes down. Because if you buy a car in an LLP and you need to get good advice on this, it depends on the company. But I think I own Five cars in an LLP company structure, there's no company car tax, there's no benefit in kind tax because it's a different kind of structure. Basically you can have home, office and a car and you can run them through as if they're personal. So with my Lamborghini Aventador, which was the first car I bought in the LLP many years ago, purchase price, well, 320 new, paid 255 for it. It's probably worth 180 on a fire sale right now. But that depreciation has been written off against my tax, so it's actually a lot less depreciation. Had I paid for it after tax, I'd have basically had to pay double because people don't realize this. But basically with corporation tax and income tax, you're over 50%, you're at 55%. So if I want to draw money that I've earned, corp tax first, income tax next, so 320 grand is about 700 before tax. So I basically paid half for it because I've paid for it before tax, not after tax. Then the depreciation gets offset. So you actually don't mind if it depreciates. All maintenance, all repairs, all servicing, all fuel, everything expensed in the company, no benefit in kind or company car tax on like a cheap 30 grand Merc, you could be paying up to 500 quid a month in company car tax. It is outrageous. So I've done that five times with five different cars.

What else have you got in there?

Right, so I think currently my business partner and I have between us because we share some of them. I think it's seven cars, maybe eight, not including the let's business cars because that's like 15 if we include those. I've just sold a Porsche 911, so yeah, I think it's seven or eight. So for sure the Lamborghini Aventador is in it, the Aston Martin DBS is in it, the Porsche 911 Turbo S is in it. I think there's a Range Rover Sport in it. Maybe the Audi RSQ8 is in it. The Atom isn't in it, the Testarossa isn't in it, because they're like cars we just bought for cash to hold money and have nice cars. So yeah, I think those five because you can have one car per partner. So when we started the businesses, there was only myself and Mark as a partner. But we're like, well, we need more partners because we need more cars. So then we made Mark's Mama Partner, you can see where we went with.

This random bloke in Peterborough.

Yeah. Now, I know a lot of people think that showing off with expensive cars is wanky. I think it's wanky if you rent them and you don't own them. Yeah, I think that's really wanky. But I own them and I really like cars. And whether you like it or not, a nice car one makes you feel good, but it is a status symbol and I try not to be too show offy on my social media because it just feels a bit wanky. Never put my watches on there. I rarely put the cars on there. But when I do the views, the shares are way up. Way up.

Yeah.

People want it. Like, let me ask you this, do you want a shitter car? Do you want a cheaper car? No. Everyone wants a nicer car, all right? You might not want Lambos and Ferraris and Porsches, you might want Teslas and G Wagons and whatever. Everyone's got their own taste. But everyone wants nice car, like, if they're really honest. No one wants a shit car. No. Wants a shit house. So if you can get a nice car and it cost you 30% of what it normally would, would you do it? Of course you would.

Things like the Aston Martin and the 911 Turbo S, the Aventador. Would you say they've made you more money than they've cost you?

Oh, yeah, 100%. So here's an example of how. So when we have multiple streams of property income, our flagship property event over in our training suite over there, on the Friday morning before the event starts, we bring all the cars out and we put the Arielatom, The Aston Martin DBS, the 911, the Testarossa, the Aventador, we line them all out the front. And how many people do you see selfieing in front of them? And, you know, we track this. Do you know the amount of money that people spend at our events goes up when we line up all of our supercars out there? Now, many people can use their cars as marketing tools and expenses. So, Yanni, you know my friend Yanni from Yanimize, you know, all of his cars are just marketing tools. How many clients has he gained through having an Urus and an Aventador? I mean, it must have made millions out of it. People do take you seriously in nice cars. It does open doors. I know some people don't like them or think you're a twat, but I don't know, I think more people would think you're a twat in a shit car than a nice car personally, because you can buy a nice understated car like the Aston's not. I mean, it's sexy but it's not super flashy. Obviously the Aventador is flashy.

I think the Turbo S can go under the radar a little bit. Like if you're a car guy, you look at that and go, that's like peak. Like that's going to demolish most things out there.

Yeah, it does.

But compared when it's parked next to a Lamborghini, you wouldn't even look twice at it.

Well, let me say this to everyone who's watching, depending on your brand, you just get the car for your brand. For my friend Yanni, it's got to be Lamborghini and they've got to be wrapped in crazy colors. But let's say you're a bit more understated because, you know, my friends have a care home. They can't turn up in a Lamborghini Aventador outside a care home where they have the elderly there, but they can have nice high end luxury Mercedes. You might want, for example, more of a chauffeur car. And if you buy them well as well. So buy them three years old or five years old. I told you. Mark got the Turbo s for what, 30 grand less than what they were on Autotrader. Or get this for a tip, the Taycans have gone like that. So Taycan Turbo s was probably 150, 160. It was just going up. And because of the uncertainty of electric cars now you can get a Taycan Turbo S0, 60 and 2.7. All the bells and whistles, 150 grand car for 50 grand. 60 grand depending on, you know, what's happening in the market at the time. My Aston Martin DBS, 305 grand new. I paid 136 for it and wrapped it because it was a color. So there's quite a lot of hacks you can do here. Now, I'm not the sort of person that wants to live a champagne life on lemonade money, you know, I still want to live a champagne life. But you can be smart with buying expensive stuff but buying it wisely. Good advice actually. You sent me a few ideas, didn't you? You voice member me. A few expensive ideas you wanted me to talk about.

Yeah, well, there's one I haven't got, but you have, which is children. So I heard Elon Musk talking about this because by the way, he is a marketing Genius that he has rebranded like 12 children from seven wives as good for humanity, not trash.

Dad. Yeah.

Great marketer.

Do you know the Saudi kings? I think Saudi Arabia was actually built like Dubai was by. I think he's called King saud. He had 45 children. So people who literally build cities and empires and, you know, understand the trajectory of humanity all seem to want to have fucking loads of children. 45 kids.

Sorry, they don't have Christmas.

So if you want to be a billionaire, like everyone's talking shit. Just have 45 kids.

Or you'll end up in a Jeremy car. Okay, so in your experience, if children made you more money having children?

Well, they've definitely cost me more money. Kane. I did make this commitment to myself though. I would send my kids to private school and I would meet the other rich parents and make sure I paid for the kids education through doing business or going into a property deal or doing a joint venture with one or more of the parents at the school. So then the kids education could become free. So that's one way of looking at it. I mean, look, kids shouldn't be a transactional thing. Unfortunately, many people in the world, they can hardly afford to raise their children. I definitely think that having children makes you take your legacy more seriously and it makes you think about your own mortality and therefore it probably gives you accountability to build your empire more. Because Obviously I've got two kids, 10 and 13, and I would like to have a chance for them to take over the empire. I am now at the age where I'm thinking about them and their children. So yeah, I would say if you, if you've got an empire building element inside you, for sure having kids can grow that. I mean, it can cause challenges. Have you seen Succession?

Yeah.

Succession is the best series on the Internet, bar none says most people have watched it, even if they're not in business. It's kind of loosely based on Rupert Murdoch, but basically you've got all these children all fighting for the empire. I personally believe that the greatest gift you can give your children is education as opposed to a thousand properties to manage or a billion dollar company. Yeah, I would say that having children has probably made me think about my legacy and mortality and therefore I probably made more money having them.

What's your opinion on leaving stuff for your children? So if information's the most important or education is the most important thing. Are you somebody that would say you can have absolutely everything? No. Are you somebody that says you're going to have absolutely nothing?

No. Somewhere in between no, it's good time that you asked me to do this because I'm redoing my will and I'm thinking about the best way to manage my children so that they don't become spoiled little shits and entitled. And I realize that if I give them too much without the work required to earn it, that would be a curse, not a gift, and that would be my fault, not theirs, because they don't know what they don't know. So I'm going to ensure that my children know what I do, how I've built what I've built, what I've got, and educate them as much as I can and as much as they want. Because by the way, there's no point me lecturing them on property if they're not interested. So I've learned this with children you have to like, it's not what you tell them. First of all, you've got to get them to listen because you can just tell them a hundred times. So as long as they show some kind of interest, I'll teach them everything I know and I will drip feed them small amounts of assets that maybe incrementally increase over the time in their life. Because you can actually pretty much write anything into your will. You could write into your will that by age 35, whatever they earn, I'll match. And so you could release a year's worth of money based on what they earn. So if they earn 30 grand, they get 30 grand a year. If they earn 60 grand, they get 60 grand a year. If they earn a million, they get a million a year. And I kind of like the match, the earning. I like that. I don't really want to give them it in the form of money either. I want to give them it in the form of asset. Because if it's in the form of an asset and if I can find a way. I don't know if you can do this, I'm still in the middle of this process. But if I can find a way to give them an asset but not allow them to sell it and just have them manage it. My business partner's friend, his dad, stroke of genius, taught him how to be an entrepreneur, age 17. So he's just about to leave school and go to uni and the dad said, I'm not buying you a house, I'm lending you a deposit for a house. You can get a six bed house in central Nottingham, you have to rent out the other five rooms, you have to cover the mortgage, but anything you get left is yours. And Then so this guy went out, went to uni, got all of his mates to rent off him and learned how to make money in property and how to rent to people and what it's like renting to your friends and having to collect money from your friends and having arrears and all the shit that is real that you need to learn. He Learned at age 18 in his first house. What a stroke of genius from his dad. And I want to do shit like that for my son and my daughter, of course.

Your daughter's quite entrepreneur.

Yeah, she's, she is, she's got her own bracelet business. She made £300 in 15 minutes in a, in a speech. I mean I helped her a little.

Bit, but that's fine starting. Right, you meant to. All right, so here's another one that you spend a lot of money on, which is Alexander McQueen.

Yeah, yeah. So I think high quality clothes, low volume, high quality, I think is a great investment. So I got married in a Tom Ford suit. I got the Daniel Craig, James Bond, I think it was Skyfall, that gray three piece suit and I got married in that. And every special event that suit comes out and still fits well, which is a good sign and makes me feel good. Because if you think about it, let's say you went to a charity event, a business meeting and you felt shit, you're not going to connect with anyone, you're not going to do deals, you're not going to be attractive and radiant to other people. Anywhere where you go, where you feel good, you're going to get good vibes with people. Because you know, there's the old saying, people buy people. And still to this day, even with the Internet and AI, you do business with people, especially big deals, you know, big property deals, you do them with people. So anything you can do that makes you feel good, a nice car, nice house, nice clothes. Don't go and spend like I used to. I used to spend 300 quid a week on clothes when I earned 200 quid a week. And I used to wear big brands because I wanted to be noticed because I was insecure. I don't wear any like brand names anymore. I just have, you know, the McQueen on the top, the Armani on the bottom and then the Louboutin shoes. And I feel comfortable, I feel good. I know that they're good quality, I know that they'll last years. I mean these hoodies, I bought two of them. I'll often if I know something's really good and I really like it and it fits perfectly. I'll buy two or three of them, so I know I've got them for 15 years. I'll give you another example of this. Everyone should have a really good laptop bag because, you know, when you go to a meeting, your laptop bag is a part of. You know you're going to go into this meeting with power. What, and you've got some sort of cheap rucksack that you hike with? No. So I bought this Prada laptop bag 15 years ago. Still got it, still use it. Is it here? 15 years. And back then as well, you know the one I mean, don't you?

Yeah.

The same blue one. And I think back then that was about a grand. And so a grand divided by 15 years. That's cost me not even. Not even 75 quid a year. I'm actually going to get the lighter blue one just because. So I. I think there's a lot to be said for that. Oh, you'll have that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Put into the wheel. Yeah. As you're writing.

Yeah. So I think low volume, high quality in anything, that's what you want to buy. Wait, be patient, earn it, pay for it.

Low volume, high quality.

Yeah.

Unless it's kids and you want to be a billionaire, then have 45 of them, hope for the best.

Yeah. This is something you should never do. Never buy your kids designer clothes. It's grotesque. They don't value them. They grow out of them in five minutes. Anyone who buys their kids designer clothes is showing off or showing their own insecurities through their kids. So I think it's an absolute waste of money and it's grotesque to buy kids designer clothes. And I have done it before and I learned my lesson. Waste of money, waste of time. Also, they wear something that's 150 quid and they want another one like that and they don't value it. And then you raise sport children.

Thanks, Rob.

All right.
