WE DID IT! Thank you all and Merry Christmas!
[Music]
We did it, guys! We did it! Come on, that's so awesome! Guys, 25 YouTube videos in 25 days! The new money advent calendar is successfully completed. Well done, everyone! Well done for keeping up to speed. There's been about, you know, three to four thousand people that have basically showed up every single day to watch the videos on the channel. So for that, you know, that blows me away. I'm truly grateful and thankful to all of you guys for watching, for keeping up to speed with what I've been doing, my efforts here on YouTube.
I hope that you guys have really enjoyed the content that's come out over the last 25 days. I've tried to, you know, kind of vary it quite a bit, so I've tried some new things and I hope you guys have enjoyed that. There's been some educational content; there's also been some more entertainment-based content. So let me know, you know, what did you like? What didn't you like out of the new money advent calendar? I'd love to hear from you guys.
But in all honesty, well first of all, Merry Christmas to everybody and Merry Christmas! 25th of December. I hope you guys are having a fantastic time, you know, with your families, enjoying maybe a little bit of down time where you can just kind of kick up your feet. No, yeah, 2020 has been one hell of a year.
For a lot of people, it's been very, very hard. I think there's not, not been someone; there hasn't been somebody that's gotten through 2020 without some form of hardship with everything that's happened. It was only this time last year where we were basically here in Australia just dying of smoke inhalation.
So, and that continued into the new year, and then from, you know, February and March onwards, it's just been lockdown and illness and sickness and confusion and people getting stood down from jobs and uncertainty and fear about what's coming into the future. I feel like now, heading into 2021, we're all starting to get back on track. Everybody's spirits are lifting a little bit, so I hope that, you know, Christmas and New Year's is a little bit of downtime for you and I hope that you can enjoy it and just get back to having a good time.
I feel like 2020 has been one of those years where it has been hard to find, you know, to find enjoyment and happiness with everything, everything that's negative that's going on around us. So anyway, first things first, thank you guys very much for watching all the videos, the new money. I think advent calendar: enjoy your Christmas! I hope you're having a wonderful time with your families.
And of course, if you missed any of the videos, then feel free; they're all up on the channel still, including the live events. So if you want to go and watch them on replay, go ahead. There's so much content.
So that leads me into the next thing I want to say is, with the new money advent calendar, I wanted to say a massive thank you to everybody that has come onto the channel, other YouTubers from literally around the world that have joined me for at some point or another during the 25 days, the first 25 days of December.
So a massive thank you to Nate, to Sven, to Richard, to Daniel, Gally, Tom, Hamish, Jason, and Queenie. Thank you, everybody, for giving me some of your time out of your busy December schedules and coming on the channel and, you know, taking the new money advent calendar to another level. It's been great talking to everyone and getting everyone's insights and opinions. So a massive thank you.
If you're someone that's given up your time to come over onto the channel in December, then thank you very much! I really appreciate it. So yeah, overall, guys, thank you very much for watching during the advent calendar. Of course, I've done heaps of different types of videos, including three live events.
So the first time these, these are the first three live events I've ever done on the channel. So a massive thank you to Hamish, Jason, and Queenie for joining me for those live events. Of course, we did stock market trivia; make sure if you haven't watched that one, go and follow along. If you've got some downtime or if you want to play some stock market trivia, go ahead and watch that.
And then, of course, we tried doing two, or a brand new concept for the channel, and that is sitting down and doing two movie nights with Jason and Hamish. We watched through The Big Short and we watched through The Wolf of Wall Street. And of course, if you wanted to watch those movies over, maybe some time off, go back, you can watch all this on replay, so you can sync up your movie to our commentary and feel free to watch it along with us if that's something that you're interested in.
But overall, guys, I think that's just about me finished for the year. I am going away over New Year's. You might see a video here and there from me, but I'm going to be away. So I think that the content will kind of drop down a little bit for the next week or two, so I try and have a little bit of time off as well.
But overall, I just wanted to finish off by saying a massive, massive thank you to everybody, all of you guys. I mean, I say this a lot, but I really do mean it. Without you guys watching the videos that I put out, this channel goes nowhere; this channel gets no views. I can't do this as, you know, as a full-time job. So at the end of the day, I just have to say a massive thank you to you guys.
2020 for me and for the channel has been very, uh, has really grown a lot, so I really do have you guys to thank for that. And I hope that you guys have gotten some educational content and also a little bit of entertainment along the way by following the channel in 2020.
And every single year I say this, but every single year I've done YouTube, it's just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. So strap yourselves in because I think 2021 is again going to take the channel to a new level, and I hope that I can make even better content, more engaging content, content that you guys want to see throughout 2021 as well.
So thank you guys very much for all of your support; it really does mean the world to me because, as I said before, this whole channel, all of my efforts here on YouTube, nothing without you guys. So I really do appreciate it.
Anyway, guys, thank you very much for making the advent calendar such a success and something that I really looked forward to doing. You know, there was not a day that I woke up where I kind of felt like, "Oh damn, I, you know, I have to make another video today. Oh, let's get this over and done with." There's not been a day where I've woken up like that, so I've really enjoyed it.
And thank you for following along the way. But anyway, guys, that's where I'll finish it. Merry Christmas, have a happy New Year, and I'll see you guys very soon.
