wow, this message gave me chill bumps. I really admire you and all of your feedback. This was the most encouraging message I've received! thank you!!!

Everything John Jacobson said and more... Beautiful job, faith and self reliance...Best wishes young man!!!

@Matt, I suggest that you Pin @John's comment

I didn’t know 75 year olds wrote “OMG”

XXenedo _ why?!? Just why?!?

Yes, I grew up with teachers that have always told me I could not do things. That is why I also left that environment couldn't take it anymore. I am happy where I moved and made a new life.

I can relate. F them

happens more often than you’d think

@@darv2ez oh I don't doubt it. I am just saying shame on them and I'd never do that. Have a good day Travis

My own father use to say I will never amount to anything. I proved him right unfortunately.

😂 that's exactly how it was for me too!

brooo this is mee

I still cant drive stick 😭, i can barely drive automatic

Why is this so accurate and I’m 23 now. but that that is exactly what I did

Lol, too funny

That’s what adult do tho , destroy the hopes and dreams of the next generation because misery loves company 😆

Shut up... You little know it all, know fuck all....

I appreciate the feedback! thank you!!

Hope your nursing school is good well and you are a highly motivaded person .good luck You will accomplish alot in your lifetime

@@MattRyanM 👏❤💞

Your awesome you give me hope. So proud of you

just hope he avoids the onslaught of hungry women

My own father told me I would never amount to anything in life, and I proved him right unfortunately.

impactajuvenile You can do whatever you want with your life. Don’t let your dads words stop you from being happy. I would suggest you look up garyvee on UKposts much love brother ❤️

@@impactajuvenile Its not too late

Yeah, i was expecting him to say the same thing. Very sad no one believed in you.

Mo Mo is there a age when it is too late? Even my wife of 13 years is about to leave me with our two little ones. Never wanted to be a part time father or raise my kids alone when I get to have them. Heartbroken

Tony Williams II You’ve got this man! Dream it, visualize what you want to accomplish and then determine to get it done. Like this young man, don’t listen to the nay sayers! If money is an issue don’t let that stand in your way. It’s amazing how many good things get thrown away so like this young man don’t be afraid to do some dumpster diving. What you will also begin to realize is once you’ve set your mind to do it you’ll begin to see opportunities to get it accomplished that you just didn’t see before. Keep your goal at the front of your mind and maybe most importantly, write your goals down and review them often. It may sound odd, but it works! All the best!

Ryan kind of put all of us to shame, but he's leading the way. Let's follow in his foot steps!

Perhaps he just highlighted the restrictions we all place on ourselves as adults. Don't feel ashamed-- feel motivated. You got this! You can build this too!

Make a video and build it

He already had land and many factors which helped him.

Same...I'm 48 y.o woman, no money, living in a furnished apartment and probably will all my life, and i am just in awe in front of Matt!

Also me at 30.

I recommend that route, too. Nursing is not as fulfilling as people make it out to be and it's soul-sucking. It's a job that should be motivated as a prerequisite as a person of society like some countries and their mandatory military enrollments. This is a job where you can work your ass off or do nothing and still be exhausted by the end of the shift. It definitely wears down your health in the long-run in a short amount of time.

@• 9 years ago Already doing that now but I'm pretty inventive and know how to branch out on my own. Perk is I won't have to deal with weird people and bureaucracy to a great extent.

I really appreciate the kind words! thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much!! this really means a lot:)

agreed. maybe you were a goof, so no one believed you. or you have lots of negative ninnies around you. that's good you left nashville

Facts

@@MattRyanM greetings from Barbados I am proud of you as well. You are an inspiration.

It's his family's land, not his. He clearly doesn't come from a poor background or else none of this would be possible. 16 year olds don't just have $8,000 (probably cost more) to spend.

@@Drybones2015 he worked 2 pt jobs while in school, it took him 2 years to complete. Do you not pay attention? Why is it so difficult for you to comprehend that SOME young adults DO WORK THEIR ASSES OFF to get what they want instead of acting like spoiled privileged BRATS .... Let me guess, you're merely PROJECTING...

@@denisehaley9271 Yes Karen, I watched the whole video. I honestly don't know what you're getting at with the "projecting" comment and I also find your use of all-caps to be quite annoying. Sure, he built it on his own and work jobs to pay for it. But to do it while he still most likely lived with family who continued to supply his living necessities (allowing him to use all of his earned money on this specific project) and his family conveniently having land that he could put it on placed him in an opportune position where it could easily be accomplished by anyone with the desire to do so. But most people are not in his position. WHY is that so HARD for YOU to Understand?!?!

@@Drybones2015 why don't you just give the kid credit for doing something positive and worthwhile. He accomplished a major task of building his own home while still being a teenager, with ambitious plans for his future. Most kids his age expect the world to kiss their ass. HERE ARE SOME MORE ALL-CAPS FOR YOU KAREN. HAVE A LOVELY EVENING

@@denisehaley9271 Give him credit? Re-read my reply and you might find that I did. It's pretty clear that you have no understanding of the challenges the greed of older generations have put on newer ones. Its not a lack of determination or willful independents, it the lack of opportunities to do so. There's something wrong with the way our society operates if the only viable option for young adults outside of years of mortgage and crippling debt is living in a shed on wheels. And don't give me that "lazy people should just work their ass off" crap. That's not how the real world works Karen. Having the odds stacked against you by design =/= being lazy. Younger generations have to (and do) work harder than your's.

I was thinking the same. Very good video to show to students all over the country. Let them know anything is possible. This guy is amazing ❤️ very inspirational. I hope everyone shares this video with the world.

People have been like that my whole life too. Supportive people are few and far between.

His parent's do so he's still set. It's a nice set up on the outside too.

it's an honor to receive feedback like that! I really appreciate it! thank you so much

Jalah Minners I’m 19 now bro!! And you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. Never doubt yourself!!

@@MattRyanM you are an inspiration, to any age group. I am 66 years old and reading that was amazing from such a young person. Never change that terrific attitude and self confidence, it will take you a long ways.

Dude, your missing the part that his family had land. SMH

Yeah.... sure

..how

Buying and selling what? and why are you paying someone to fix said things ?

I wish the best for u man!! Good luck!!! 😁

cameron hines i started buying and selling bikes(i fixed myself bcuz i know bikes really well) then i moved on to small engines and chainsaws and stuff which i dont know how to fix so i pay my local hardware store to fix and i am about to buy and sell cars. i will be starting over(no im not getting rid of my money im just using 100)with $100 and make 100,000 bcuz i lost the mrbeast riddle and i want to make a video on it and make up for the challenge i lost. so i guess stay tuned

@@dynasean3115 I was wondering where he got the money to buy the trailer but he said he had part time jobs. He said no family or friends supported him or thought he could do it, but the land he's on belongs to his parents.

I think he needs a GF, maybe you should ask him out.

@@abc123fhdi lmao yeah and I'm a self made millionaire that has no parents. I was born in a dumpster and picked myself up all by myself and worked at McDonalds until I was 16. Now I own a $200,000 home. Don't believe everything you see on the internet, friend.

@@abc123fhdi Considering you can't get a job until you're like 14 or 15, this kid would have to work 24 hours a day and drop out of school, making minimum wage to build a home. Gtfo lol.

"ALL ON YOUR OWN" hahhahahha

You are amazing! thank you!

Imao

You can do it and the best part is, you can make it how ever you want. You need to do it. You can do it. Go for it friend.

Ur parents buy ur first car for you to get ur "part time job" or are you lucky enough to live in a $300,000 house as a child and have tons of job options within walking distance? mhmmm.. thought so. This shit aint possible for most of the country, this is all people who are born with money. I couldn't even get my first car by myself until I was 20 because it's impossible to find a job and afford gas when you have to drive to ur place of work.

@@VroomTech shut up bitch

@@reecesydenham3972 silver spoon baby incoming. You're the problem with this country lol..

@@VroomTech Umm no, u useless lazy, unambitious leftists are wth is wrong with this country.

Very true but most people don’t get that and I am not about to build something in my parents backyard cuz there’ll be no privacy lol

@@nalinir5092 same here even though crossed my mind 😅

One of the reasons why I haven't built one is because there is no land around here that I could put it on.

@@arianeparadis6439 it's the same for me. Land shouldn't be owned privately it should be communally shared and when you reach a certain age a small piece of land should be made available to you to build a small house or yurt. But we don't live in villages or the organic way anymore. Unfortunately. But hopefully things will change somehow, somewhere.

@@mumsinatra WTF NO ONE WOULD HAVE PRIVACY

thank you!

Don't get me wrong. Many don't have any aspirations of doing this...or the drive to push thru what was clearly an arduous and detailed task... But many more don't have the opportunity, even if they wanted to. Good for this kid. We need programs in place to help kids learn HOW to work with their hands. I had to push myself to do it...but many won't. Many simply think its below (too good) or above them (they aren't skilled enough). Man, I wish I had fam with land. I wish I had an out of state tuition paid for for me to even consider doin something like this. Not taking away from this kid at all. Hes clearly a monster. Im just making the point we should make changes in our society to allow for and ENCOURAGE MORE of this. My 2c. Thats a sick build btw. Especially at 16. You should perhaps consider something in architecture...or even just entrepreneurship, if you happen to see this, my man.

Awesome to know he's a Christian! I knew he was special... God's plans and purpose for him must require his many gifts. God bless you.

@@JoanneSgrignoli--- And to think that just ten years ago he probably also believed in Santa and his elves!

@@gordon3186 What is the purpose of your comment? To quote Dr.Seuss, "Say what you mean and mean what you say." But in all you do, choose to be kind.

@@JoanneSgrignoli How can you take anything negative away from gordon's comment? I interpreted his comment as meaning 10 years ago Matt was just an 8-10 year old child. Just a kid having the beliefs and dreams that little kids have. And now, he's a young man who has achieved so much, has a true philosophy on life, and is going for it. But that's just me seeing the glass half full... Be well Joanne Sgrignoli.

@@linedanzer4302 How do you interpret my comment as negative? Gordon's comment was a response to something I said, and it appears to be a comparison between Matt's faith as a Christian today and his belief in Santa Claus 10 years ago. I'm assuming that you read the thread, being an optimist. I'm an optimist, too. My cup runneth over. I am not a negative person. My joy is new each morning thanks to God. Have a lovely rest of your day. If Gordon is your child, please tell him that I was trying to clarify.

Thank you sir! you as well!

That means a lot!!! thank you!

That really means so much. thank you!

You can do it. let nothing get in your way!!!!

You can do anything if you put your mind to it!

i so hope you gonna share that then. you can, you can, you can and you will.

Never compare yourself with others. God created us all with a plan and a purpose. We each have different gifts. Seek Him through his word and as your relationship grows He will reveal his plans for you.

Joanne Sgrignoli there is no god dumb ass

Clancy keep your negativity to yourself k!

@@earthbound2772 I suggest, with all due respect and sincerity, that you research the subject, as this is an important decision. If you're wrong, there are eternal consequences; if you're right you now have solid investigative information and no harm done. I recommend the movie "The Case for Christ," the true story of Lee Strobel, an award winning investigative journalist for the Chicago Tribune. He & his wife were Atheists. Something happened & his wife became a born again Christian. He was pissed. So he put his skills to work & used his myriad of contacts to interview top theologians & others. He set up an office in a rented storage space, so his wife wouldn't know what he was doing. For me, it was a walk down memory lane. It took place in the 70s, so he had long hair & drove a very cool car, a GTO I think. Intellectually, I research everything before coming to a conclusion. I'm not a blind follower. You're worth the effort, don't you think? Don't just watch the movie. Go to a Bible based church (non-denominational is my choice); investigate with an open mind. Talk to the pastor; join a Bible study, ask questions. Think of it as higher learning. Then make a decision based on what you've learned. You ARE worth it. If you want to ask me anything, please feel free. I'm straightforward & honest. I'd be happy to give you my email. Here's a good place to start. This is from a great website where you can ask questions. This question is "Is there a conclusive argument for the existence of God?" www.gotquestions.org/argument-existence-God.html P.S. I became a born again Christian at 14, but believed in God since age 3. My mom was very smart and had taught Sunday School as a teenager. I strayed for a few years but came back. Even so, it was a few years before I learned that "It's Not About Religion, It's About a Relationship." I'm praying for you.

Joanne Sgrignoli Jesus fucking Christ....

I appreciate it!!

You can totally do it! I believe in you!! Let me know if you have any questions.

Love it! upload a video!

Spencer Williams thank you dawg🥺🥺🥺

Thanks man!

@@MattRyanM no problem man we need more positive hard working people out there and who go for it. Good vibes good energy I kinda did something similar when I was younger. But nonetheless I was I was inspired by your video.
