 Alright guys, what is going on? We're back in this chair down in my lounge room and I haven't been here for a while but it feels nice because I've got the day off and honestly guys lately my days off have been the only days that I can even fathom bringing the camera out and trying to make a video but I do have some cool things that have been purchased in the last few days and that is exactly what the title of this video is going to be about which is how I spent $7,000 in one week pretty fucking crazy but before I do anything I'm gonna get myself a cup of coffee and I'll be back in a minute alright so we're back one there one there that feel when your flatmate has hidden the coffee cups and you've got to make a coffee in a beer schooner but that's alright because I need it now what I was saying is that I've had a lot of cool purchases that is cost me $5,000 well what I neglected to say was that the first three and a half grand of the money that I spent was on bills so actually before I do anything I'm gonna go grab those and tell you a bit of behind the scenes you know a bit of behind the scenes stuff how much things cost to maintain a property or two properties in my case so here is my little organizer first first one is ID stuff second one is this house anything to do with this house third one is my house on the Gold Coast fourth one is other stuff and the fifth one is banking so let's have a look that one that one and that is about it so so like I said before I've got two properties I've got one here in Alice Springs that I live in which I've got a mortgage on also got my place on the Gold Coast which I'm getting paid rent for but that pretty much just covers the mortgage and a little bit of the body corporate fees so I've got the remainder of those to pay I've also got rates over there and I've got rates here as well so insurances man fuck it doesn't end I'll tell you with that said for this place here I paid two quarters of body corporate fees $788 a quarter cost me $1576 which takes me up to the start of April so that was 1600 bucks just like that what I didn't realize is that I've never paid any rates for this property I you know I paid my body corporate fees I paid my insurance my water bill but I've never paid any rates and I didn't really think too much about it and then rudely enough I got reminded that I had four installments of rates due because obviously I've lived in this place for just over a year now and they cost $326 per quarter which means a total bill of $1300 in something cents and that was due as at the 15th of November which was about two months ago so I paid it $1300 that paid all of my rates up until the 7th of April 2017 so both of these things are paid up to date which is fantastic but once again it's another $1300 so that was like nearly three grand just like that and then we go over to the Gold Coast and I got my water bill which is $393 and 66 cents which I paid and then I've got my body corporate fees if you don't know what body corporate fees are there if you live in a complex of let's say 20 or 40 units every owner of each of the units will put a certain amount into a pool which is then used to pay for not only your building insurance pays for maintenance of the property they've got clauses in there so every you know it might be 10 years the place gets repainted and you know revamped it's not for free because they've obviously paid for it but the money is in the bank so I know that that's going to happen in the future which is good and you know especially when I'm away from the property I can't be there a townhouse made sense because it has the body corporate fees the place is maintained you know the only thing I need to worry about is anything actually inside the property which luckily enough the week before I took settlement of my Gold Coast property the fucking air conditioner stopped working so that was $2,000 to replace that and thank God it happened a week before my settlement date because I didn't have to pay the previous owner paid so thanks for that mate but regardless of that so we got like 850 we've got 400 that's 1250 1500 that's 750 that's 2800 plus 1300 is 4100 so that's it $4100 $4100 hook gone just like that but obviously I can't complain and I'm not complaining because I knew from the start that this was all part of the major plan it's just just the way it is so that was the first four four and a bit grand and then from there you know I said to myself fuck this I've just been $4000 on shit that I ain't even gonna see and I never like if you know me in person you'll probably know that I don't really buy too much for myself maybe a pair of shoes here and there but usually I go to Kmart I go to Target these days for my clothes and shoes because I really don't give a shit I don't care about the logos on the front anymore I like sort of plain stuff and I like I look for more of a fit than a logo now but with that being said I'd spend all this money and I said to myself no I'm gonna treat myself I'm gonna treat myself so that is exactly what I did basically bought everything I needed for the next year I hope especially in Alice Springs weather you know I would love to be able to buy coats and to be able to buy jumpers and things like that but man and like you know jeans and boots and stuff I really want a nice pair of boots but fuck it's so hot here it's just unbelievable like you can't do it you can't wear winter clothes until it gets to May or something like that and then you know you're out of them by August so at the moment it's between probably about 36 and like 42 degrees every day and I'm inside right now it's nice and cool but honestly especially when the cloud comes over it gets humid but you just get used to it it's just the way it is in Alice Springs you you have to give up some things like the comforts of cool weather to earn a bit more money and that's what that's just the way it is but I'm gonna go to my Westpac account and just check my my credit card statement because I can't exactly remember how much I spent or what I spent it on but I'll tell you guys so I don't know if it looks like I'm naked at the moment but I'm certainly not we've got tights we got shorts we're getting ready to hit some legs as I said before it's my day off and really my day off is is the only day that I can fathom hitting a good leg workout because otherwise it's just too too rushed it's after my my day at work which is 12 hours which is a fucking long time and I just can't be bothered so we're gonna do legs today but that being said let's have a look it was all that shit there then I had to pay $300 on fines to finally like I got in this mood where I was like nah I'm just gonna clear everything so that's what I did I had this I had like $2,000 worth of fines that has taken me so long to pay off it's unbelievable I just end up just leaving the payment plan don't pay it it goes a couple of months I'll get a letter in the mail saying that my license is suspended I'll go back in I'll have to pay a bulk amount put me on another payment plan I'll leave that payment plan they'll send me out another letter saying my license is suspended and it went on and on and on and the last time I rung up I wanted to put it on another payment plan believe it or not and she said this is your seventh payment plan that we've put in place to clear these fines seven and she said I'm sorry we can't do another one you're gonna have to pay the remainder and it was 300 bucks and I was like fuck it all right take my money it's dead money I hate paying fines but at least they're gone now so then I went shopping for myself and culture kings was first I had two purchases of culture kings one for 211 and one for 239 and the first one was six t-shirts which I selected my favorite t-shirts they're actually fucking sick and the second purchase was two pairs of shoes both on special both Nike's and I love them to be honest the one thing about the culture kings purchase which has kind of put a dent in on it is the fact that the warehouse got burned down over the weekend and there's now a big red banner at the top of their website saying that each well basically saying that they're not processing any orders online anymore so until obviously they've restocked and and found a new warehouse premises and I still don't know where my my orders have actually gone through I hope they have but I haven't heard anything from them and I think I went through the website as a guest so I don't know if they can contact me what but I've got 500 bucks worth of shit that I want so anyways then I went over to my old mate freeze miss page old Jim Steeze I haven't bought a Jim Steeze Singlet or a Jim Steeze pair of shorts or anything and probably a good year and a half even two years Jim Steeze is is a brand I've always supported I'll always support my mate Freezy and yeah I said to myself well you know I need some tanks I need some singlets to train in so why not go back to Jim Steeze so that's what I did I bought four singlets 180 bucks all good so that was that and then we went to the Nike store and I bought a couple pairs of shoes and three pairs of shorts for about 500 bucks and then I went to Golden Aesthetics which is Artemis Dolgan's brand based in LA I love that stuff Golden Aesthetics the stuff that I bought in the past has kept its shape it's been fantastic got nothing bad to say about it and I bought a jumper and I bought a sleeveless hoodie and I think I bought a hat as well for another 180 so that was that then what did we do that was Nike Jim Steeze Golden Aesthetics culture Kings and then we went to the Adidas store was took that was 540 so fucking hell how much did I spend five 540 you know fuck no I'm gonna write this shit down so I was like for grand let's just say who's about 42 for the bills 540 at the Nike store 500 at culture Kings 180 at Golden Aesthetics 180 at Jim Steeze before so we'll go 4200 on the bills plus the 300 for the fines is 4500 plus 540 on Adidas 500 on culture Kings 180 Jim Steeze 180 Golden Aesthetics 500 Nike which equals about $6400 total and that's it so that's basically all that this video is about just telling you how I spent seven grand in a week because it doesn't normally happen but what it's done it's put my head in a nice place I've got all these bills that were crowding my my headspace and I've been able to put them away I've written paid the date that it's paid put them away yes my bank account has suffered but I really don't care and there was no way I was gonna spend 4500 bucks on shit like that without spending a little bit on myself so I probably went a bit overboard I think I got you know I've got all that I need going forward and I can't wait to wear it to be honest so one thing we're gonna do is go down to the post office it's been it's been six days since I ordered all this shit I ordered it all on the same day obviously not all of it's gonna be there but I'm hoping for at least something so that's what we're gonna do but actually I'll tell you what before that before that let's go and purchase my final purchase of the week which is gonna bring us above seven grand and it's probably my most exciting purchase of the week and that is a flight from Alice brings to Melbourne which I'm gonna book right now because if I don't do it now I never will I brought it up on the screen fucking every day for the last like two weeks and I still haven't booked it so here we go return Alice brings to Melbourne Wednesday the 15th March returning Monday the 20th of March but we'll make that Tuesday because I want I want more time down there so Wednesday the 15th of March 2017 come back Tuesday the 21st of March 2017 what do you think's on around that time guys that's right it's the Arnold classic so let's fucking book this shit so I actually go to the 2017 Arnold classic Australia which I've been meaning to go to for two years now haven't done it gotta fucking get down there I'm gonna see what these pros look like in the flesh man I gotta see what these these guys look like but to be fair like that the main reason I would have gone two or three years ago what would be to see these social media personnel to be honest guys I'm not fazed by them anymore I know all the tricks behind all the you know pictures and people use fake weights and people use Photoshop and you know people people just aren't who they say they are at the end of the day and so the or you know the or around around those guys and around the celebrity trainers and the personalities you see on Instagram and YouTube and that the or around them has has dissipated a lot for me over the last couple years and I'm more focused on my own journey to be honest with you whether I actually become one of those fitness celebrities is yet to be yet to be known but I'll do my best and if I do get in that position I'm certainly gonna keep my morals and keep my values and keep keep what's important to me and what's important for me to portray to you guys which is truth honesty being real being natural and representing that to the best my ability so with that said let's let's fucking get on this yep that flight looks good yep that one looks good but raining that's such weird weather here lately a honestly anyways the one thing that I hate about flying out of Alice brings is the fact that it's two hundred and ninety nine motherfucking dollars to get anywhere so that literally the cheapest flights I can get like it doesn't matter when you book it doesn't matter if it's six months in advance two months in advance two hundred ninety nine dollars each way economy with Qantas so five hundred ninety eight bucks total and but that's fine that's a wrap I don't care it's worth it so we'll go no car no don't want that fuck off mr. Jake I hate bullying in this crap mr. Jacob McDonald frequent flyers yes yes I do have frequent flies actually never use this shit but I should that's my number wrong frequent flyer number right one nine two da da what the fuck all right I won't have Qantas frequent flies in travel insurance yeah reduce my carbon footprint yeah all right cool so we're heading to Melbourne just like that seven thousand dollars spent in one week fuck I can't wait to go to Melbourne now yes can't fuck wait it's gonna be sick I'm gonna try and get big as fuck too small for that place man too fucking small all right mean so what's there left to do but to go to the post office and see what we got so I'll see you there disappointed what do we got certainly no clothes and no shoes but we do have banking shit what do we got don't tell me this is another fucking bill I just paid them all fuck me that one can wait another fine from South Australia oh something else registration of my car runs out when in a month right that can wait honestly man this is just unbelievable you can never you can never catch up you just can't it's impossible I guess times like these you have a pre-workout meal and then you go to the gym and forget about everything for an hour sounds good to me all right guys phone up one leg workout in the books we went hard we went heavy it was actually a day where I'm feeling weaker than what I normally would for example front squats I actually started on hamstrings for once train my hamstrings which I'm happy about I did five working sets on the lying hamstring girl then I went over to the front squat barbell front squat I wanted to do 100 kgs more working sets but I was weaker than I have been previously so we went with 35 aside which is 90 kgs and did five working sets of 8 to 12 and then went to a leg press did seven plates aside for five working sets of 12 to 15 and then after that I did a leg extension to really fucking fuck up the quads and I've just finished my fifth working set with 75 kilo I think but regardless of that it's been a week of spending a lot of money and I've just finished it with an amazing lead workout so I'm going to try and have a little shot of my legs here see what they look like trust the camera around it actually see if I can get them so that is the legs after a workout currently no carbs have been trained in the last two years I'm really really ashamed to say but they haven't and I'd say I'll probably train hamstrings about 10 times in the last two years so my legs work out my leg workouts being mainly compound and quad based movements but that's about to change so mark my words that will change this is the lead workout I'll see you guys in the next one
