“genuinely tries to help people instead of selling them stuff”
YouTube crowd loves his investment advice and practical tips, with people crediting him for major life decisions like getting married for financial benefits. Reddit's mostly on board, saying he's one of the few people actually working to improve ordinary people's finances rather than enriching himself. X is where the dissent lives, with people calling him out for blocking critics and claiming he's not even a proper financial advisor. the man's got a 98% approval rating on YouTube, which is basically unheard of unless you're a golden retriever.

“A broadly positive presence in public life. Particularly in the last couple of years he seems to have done more to try and help the average person than all the people who should really be doing that.”

what's working

  • He advocates for reforms that benefit people struggling with bills and financial hardship
  • He educates the public on important financial topics like investing that aren't taught in schools

what's not

  • He speaks very quickly which makes it difficult for people to concentrate on what he is saying
  • He promoted student loans as a good idea in the early days of Plan 2 by calling it not a real debt
  • He blocks people on social media who challenge his views or ask questions that contradict his world view
