Great story of hard work and pursuing your passion. Thanks for sharing!
LEGOS!
@@legodkings7742 That's not a word. The LEGO Group themselves said LEGO in plural is: LEGO.
How many Legos do you have behind you that’s so cool
@@frameoflight Trainscape isn’t a word either 👀
Hello!
I’m pleased that your hard work has been rewarded
Are you his girlfriend or are you just that driver in some lego buying vlogs?
@Het Tijgertje that’s not his gf. His wife is Jose or Josie (I forgot how she spells it)
@@brickpigeon66 Okay sorry!😂 Just a thought...🤐😄
The best advice 14 year old bricksie could of gotten "don't buy lava lamps"
What’s up with the brick beside your name?
How do get that brick?
@@iPably_ he became a member of the channel
"could HAVE"
I felt that 😂
The same way anyone affords anything, through hard work and saving your money. I think it was JayZ that said "if you can't afford to buy it twice, then you can't afford it".
Man he got mony in 90 s only CA's it was poppuler in USA. More so..an Manny kids in oz. Spent lots on bying thier hip hop CD s ..but ozy hip hop..got less mony. In 90 s. An had stuff all jobs ..u can work hard on hobbie s but may get less mony. Than guy with full time job ..we all wish we had full time job but don't. an still gain .Lego .
Correct your a smart guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hard work dosent make your rich it makes your boss rich
Actually, if you can afford it once you can afford to purchase it. It's simple math.
So if you can’t buy your house twice you can’t afford your house?
I loved hearing more about the business side of things for you, especially in regards to rental properties and how you were able to put down a down payment
Interest rates are at an all time low. Leveraging $ is insanely cheap... 1.8% is unheard of. Not sure what it is like in AU.
We are in for some interesting times right now. Not much makes sense, stock market booming, etc. Young ppl like us better strap in and hedge. Governments "printing" $ out of thin air and dishing it out like crazy. Sorry to rant LOL.
@@Bricksie: Dude, according to your story, you made the most advancement when you had a side-hustle going on. Now that your doing "Bricksie" full time, perhaps your side-hustle could be another channel explaining business and entrepreneurial skills to fellow young ppl, (perhaps step-by-step, how-to-do what your doing, etc.) . . .
~ I would LOVE to see future generations doing-what-your-doing, namely turning idle-time in to profit-time, starting a business & incorporating. As you well know, working for ourselves is much more profitable (and enjoyable) than working for others . . . . . (if fact, you have inspired even me to start a side-hustle !) . . . . . God bless. ✌️😀👍
Jordan you should invest in Bitcoin as it is a store a value and appreciate 200% / year since its launch. Fix the money, fix the world.
@@Bricksie yeah interest rates are low but if you didn't move on a house when this video was released and are trying to now, good luck. Houses are way up. I live in Louisiana and a 1300 Sq ft house went from around 130k to 190k in just the last few months.
@@bryandedon7459 US house prices are high, lol! Canadian average house prices are something like $600,000 or maybe $800,000 now!
The dictionary definition of Bricksie:
A genuine nice Lego-loving guy who is real with his fans and talented at what he does
Chill dude. He is building bricks. A child can do this.
Great breakdown. Appreciate you opening the veil to reveal the data behind the channel. And congrats on your hard work paying off. Everyone sees the LEGO you have now and think you're so lucky, but they have to know all the hard work which went into this.
Yes so. Each to thay own ways of gaining more ..I gess we all have owe story s of how we got lots of Lego..but may be less mony. Than next guy or girl but luv it just as much.
TLDW;
1. Passion
2. Hard Work
3. Entrepreneurial spirit
4. Tax Loopholes
5. HELOC on his house
Or, step one get a job
Don't think you can call it a loophole when it's actual written tax benefits exclusive to business owners.
@@brunomatassini9879 Writing off your private property as "business" property is absolutely a "loophole".
@@kumada84 Not really. It's written into the tax code to benefit business owners. If you keep all your tools and cars you use to get to work at your house, is that not basically an office? If you do all your planning and finances at your house, is that not the same as having a seperate building on a lease? Not a loophole, just a benefit that anyone can use.
So to sum-up Bricksie is a genius.
He went from Boy Scouts to selling and trading Pokemon cards, all the way to a UA-cam channel with a massive Lego collection. What an inspiration
Not a genius, simply just choosing not to be lazy.
@@brandonjones5096 procrastination and depression are pretty big foes to overcome and do what you hope to do in life

How to afford LEGO..
Step 1: Get a Job
That’s it
Are you still living with your parents ?
@@Adrian-Ionut no I have my own place
Finally, Truth!
having a job dont mean you can buy LEGO .
@@funtyes1970 video title: how do I afford LEGO well wouldn’t you need a job for that?
This is a topic I would not have thought about when I watch Bricksie, and it once again tells me how transparent, honest, and caring about his fans
you're the most honest, true hearted lego lover, the realest out there.
you're my fav bricksie. keep on the good work
I watched this with my 3-yr old kid, and he asked me how he can get a job. Thanks for being an inspiration!
Beauty. Get him stated with household chores and allocate a pay for each job and a frequently that they can be done. Then "tax" 25% and put that in a savings account for him. That's what I'm gonna do when I have kids LOL. Teach them work ethic, skills, jobs, labor, saving, and taxes early. Hahah
Just let him be a kid my gosh… it’s not all about hard work. It’s about living your best life.
@@lemkadem91 just to be clear, im not asking my kid to get a job lol. He's the one asking me these tough questions....
Awesome to hear your story, your hard work and consistency shows through and through. Always enjoy the content, take care!
Great story - it does really boil down to hard work, and a love of your craft but also some good education (formal and life experiences) as you used this knowledge to structure your company and manage your money. I am sure you could tell lots of stories but thanks for sharing this. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Well done for building a career with something you love. Took vision, hard work at taking the risk. Thanks for sharing! Happy Christmas Jordan, from Ireland.
Very interesting to hear. I've only recently started Lego in the past year or so. Managed to get a nice collection going but it is very costly and hard to maintain with everything else. So from what you've said has inspired me to give UA-cam/Twitch a go and see if I can make something more out of it.
Nice of you to share your story, I’m sure it will inspire others and also show that hard work is key.
Amazing, I’m just starting my Lego collection and UA-cam journey and I take a lot of inspiration from this video. It’s an awesome achievement you have managed to accomplish and I wish you all the best for the future.
I just recently found your channel accidentally looking for something else Lego related. I was really drawn to the Bricksie basement Lego world you’ve created and was very impressed with the collection you’ve amassed in the last half decade! Now, after watching this video, I’m super excited to see what you have coming in the future and how things develop with your company. You’ve turned a hobby in to something incredible and amazing and now I’m subscribed! Good luck and thank you! I loved legos as a kid and now I watch your channel at work 🤣
Stumbled across this video and superb!! Well done. Good to see someone being honest about the work needed to get a dream job!
The absolute best wardrobe choice for a 'How do I afford LEGO video' - well played.
Yes you are right!!!!!
@@joeb5327 well said time to invest in some better clothes
72K subscribers WOW! Your very transparent explanation which is impressive. I subscribed because of your work effort a long time ago, keep going, your passion will guide you!
So real. Love how you broke it down man. Really fascinating.
Wow man, you're just an awesome, down to earth human being, this is why you're hard work has helped you in shaping your life and becoming a successful UA-camr and lego builder. Hats off to you man.
All the best for the future &
Keep on bricking.
Nice story mate and it’s great to hear all the hard work you put in to get where you’re at. My wife and I have just started to collect Lego. We both had tubs full from when we were kids, but recently I was able to convince her of the joy of building larger set. Luckily our Lego addiction started during Toy Sales here in Australia so we’ve been able to buy a lot of sets on special and just store them to build into the future. Love your positive attitude on life. Keep up the great work and I look forward to viewing more of your videos😀👍
Thank you for being so transparent! Great to hear.
Appreciate the very candid overview of your business entrepreneurship. I think it’s fair to say whilst you love what you do and most of the time we see you buying lots of great lego sets and building them, behind the scenes there is a lot of hard work to make it all happen.
This was very interesting to listen to! It’s fun hearing about your experiences, and congratulations on being full time!
I love this. It’s really inspirational but we appreciate the honesty and also the amount of dedication and purpose and hard work it took for you to be here. Congratulations, Jordan!
Thanks Bricksie, I really appreciate the explanation and the transparency you provided as a fan I'm really happy for you.
Hey I watched this a while back and I’m watching it again today. I just started a Bricklink store and I’m learning about investing and reselling. Buying up a bunch of retiring sets and starting a channel about it all. Keep up the good work! It’s inspiring!
Loved hearing your story! Very inspiring! You took the leap and look at where you are now. Very cool. Keep up the great work! 🎉🤘🏽😎
great video bricksie! you are an inspiration to all young lego youtubers! keep up the great work man!
Omg, respect to your honesty 👍 so many UA-camrs talks about this topic without talking about it. Happy for your achievements and hard work does pay off!
If ur under 18 like me, I found that the easiest way is to work a summer job, even if it’s a minimum wage job and you work part time hours, you can afford some very large sets after just a week of work. Thanks for sharing your tactics as an adult, I will definitely use these in the future.
Neat
Jordan thanks for sharing, what an amazing story, jyst goes to show what a lot of hard work and some great advise from your parents and I'm sure maybe others has worked out for you at such an early age. You should write a book as I'm sure it would inspire others to save early and just be super smart with what you do. CONGRATS my dad used to say " if your job is doing something you love, it will never actually feel like it's a job" I hope someday soon that is how you feel about your channel. Im lucky to get to see it.
Great to see you are following your passion. And agree, you gotta work hard. Nothing in this life comes for free!
glad to see the hard work paying off. Only way is up from here, great work!!!
You work hard and you are wicked smart!!! Congrats on your success! We are grateful for you!!
Thank you so much for making this video I've been wondering for so long
This is really inspiring! Thank you Bricksie!! :)
That was quite a story. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Obviously you’ve worked hard for what you have. Cheers!
This is a question I ask myself all the time. The answer: I don’t
This was actually really interesting and awesome to learn about! I've always had a dream of starting my own business, and it's so cool to get a glimpse of what that is like.
This is the type of stuff target for AFOLs and I love it! Give a true real perspective on how others can achieve the same goals. I recently started a bricklink store and this type of stuff helps.
Rad nice one .so much to it. Thoe s saleing a million brick n part .great stuff what that doing ...but if can tourn it into a every day an nightly thing . .u just don't know how much $ u may make .good luck man...
Thanks for sharing - great to know about the business side and of course hard work that went into it.
I love this! Great advice for everyone. There’s no get rich quick schemes to get you everything you want. Hard work, smart work, and patience. Great video! Earned a new subscriber!
Amazing story. Very encouraging to hear in detail how you did it. People should live and learn from your methods, smart and sensible. And hard work! My introduction to bricksie came because I can see Lego spending increasing and wondered how other people do it, so I was curious to his methods. Great content.
This was great to watch!.. congrats man hard work and patience 🙌🏽
Awesome work ethics , truthful and kind. Community of greatness ! Thanks bricksie
that was amazing to hear! I’d love to hear more!

Thanks @Bricksie!
thank you for the back story all your hard work has paid off and your getting to pursue your dreams!!!!!!!!!!
Truly a success story about hard work and initiative pays off! Way to go you!
Me a 14 year old
Lava laps👀
Bricksie “No”
Me ok
LEGO 👀🤑🤑🤑
I subscribed because I really appreciated the candid conversation on the business side of things.
After hearing about all that hard work, you defiently deserve every single subscriber you have to this channel and every set you own (or brickise owns lol)
Got to hand it to you my friend, you are one smart cookie! Keep it up!
This video was very informative. You are a very intelligent man and I was blown away with your story. Just shows what you can do with with hard work and knowledge. Take care. Merry Christmas
Thank you for sharing that and it just shows that hard work pays off, plus your pretty smart and driven, good job! Enjoy your channel.
Mad respect for the hustle! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! What a sincere story! Thank you for sharing this. It is quite inspirational.
I’ve been able to start my LEGO hobby by obtaining credit card sign-up bonuses and finding ways to “manufacture spend” (buying gift cards to flip) and netting the cashback/points from credit cards. Made $9k last year from my side hustle all while working full time 40/hrs a week.
Your method is fantastic though, too! I’ll have to look into possible LEGO reselling as you mentioned. Happy 2021!
Great lesson :) Thank you! Keep up the awesome job man!!!
Great video Jordan really enjoyed that! I would love you to do more!!
Great video! Brave to put yourself out there. I started making Lego videos a year ago. I've found that if you buy used locally and build, video and resell there is almost no cost. It's almost like a library check out system but you maintain your virtual UA-cam collection.
Hard work definitely pays off. You are truly amazing Jordan. Keep up the great content. I'm looking forward to seeing where your UA-cam channel goes from here. I'm proud to be a moderator for you and a member. 💪
Great video, very informative; I think this is a topic that many people find very helpful and would be interested in learning more I know that applies to me for sure, plus this information is helpful across many industries whether it be Lego related or not.
Love this bricksie. Would be honored for you to do another video expanding on this. Great job look forward to more.
GREAT work dude. Your work ethic and ingenuity are a stellar example. Thanks for sharing
A lot of respect there Jordan, or is it Bricksie haha. Well done for having the courage to go for your dream and brains to do it. All the best for the future!
Hey Jordan appreciate the video and yes i would love another video on the business aspect of this channel. Its really cool and inspiring to hear
one of the best advice set /life lesson i ever heard .
thank you Bricksie (Jordan).you are a real hero and the best lego lover i ever seen.
and once again thank you for making a video like this..😃👍
Wow , thanks for the good tips , also the city is looking amazing
I probably gonna watch this video some more. So interesting and inspiring... Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot for sharing! 🙏🏼 As a private person you basically outsmarted the system by taking the company lane. Well done!👍🏻💪🏻
Thank you for the info. We appreciate it!
Dang, Bricksie! I am loving your formal attire! You really go all out and turn on the style for your viewers! Thanks for dropping some knowledge as well! 👍🏻 🤵
I respect the hustle, Jordan!
Joel" how did you afford this?"
Jordan " i sell hardcore Drugs"
Found you on Tik Tok my 9yr old son is turning into a Mini Bricksie. He’s addicted to LEGO’s. Interesting to see the sets he loves and has built also in your collection. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Sweet!, i just started off with lego collecting as well and first time see you channel. Same here, said part-time job to fund it and buy it on sale. By the way, is nice to see an Albertan ( i'm from Calgary) with a great story!! keep up the good work.
Really enjoy watching this channel. Great to see Canadian content too!
Thans for sharing! There are a lot of tips you said, that can help me:)
Wow!! This is awesome. I am very proud of you for accomplishing your goals and became able to do UA-cam full-time. I would LOVE to learn more as I would like to one day become a Lego Ambassador.
Kind of funny was just watching another video of yours and this exact question came to mind, then this video popped up randomly to answer that question. Keep up the good work it’s very inspiring 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing. Wishing you great success with Bricksie
Smart and motivated kid.
Thanks for the video, really helpful as I'm about to open my Bricklink store
Thank you Bricksie. I needed this. God bless you.

That is a very inspiring story. You deserve what you own. Now I'm even more into your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Love it when I open UA-cam and it says uploaded 30 seconds ago 😄
Good hard work pays off every time! Nice story Bricksie!
Hey @bricksie, thanks for the summary of your business choices. Would love to learn more about the stories and failures that lead to those smart decisions
I love how Jordan worked so hard for what he loves and what makes him happy:)❤
I’d love to hear more. Great video, well done.
Congrats on the hustle and success!
Awesome info! Appreciate you sharing the business side.
