  • Meet 22-year-old Johnathan, a senior accounts executive with a very expensive obsession. Outside of work John’s life is dedicated to cars, as are his mate’s. They all belong to the same online car community, and, like him, spend any spare time and money fueling their high octane lifestyle. He might earn a healthy £20,000, but he is £17,000 in debt and counting, mostly spent on customising and creating the ultimate show car.

    Crazy how before £20k jobs were a decent salary. Nowadays if an employer doesn't fork out £50k it just isn't a living salary. £20k is what you earn as part time. Inflation, I tell you.

    As someone who lives in Scotland / UK it’s soo weird to see someone smoking in the pub etc, because it just has not been a thing since I was like a teenager. It’s so early 200’s but I’m kinda here for it all

      Ben isn’t a psychologist or psychiatrist. He’s a “psychology coach”, whatever that means. I’ve heard the show introduce him as a self-help writer as well.
      I don’t always like his approach because he seems to be planting thoughts by asking leading questions instead of open ended ones. That is not how a therapist would do it. It takes time to draw people out, but it’s a tv show so they don’t have a lot of time. I think the people on this show have to fill out questionnaires or something. There is no way that guy is that good. He’s so robotic.
