    I built a rendered garden wall after watching YouTube, saved a few grand. 10 years on it's still standing and looks great, currently got landscape gardeners in now on another job saying how good it is

    I'm just in the process of renovations in my house getting it ready for sale and YouTube has literally saved me thousands of £'s.

    I like the 'reels' where, for just a couple of hundred quid you can fix a hole in a hosepipe.

    I used YouTube to fix an issue with low pressure in a Karcher yesterday.

    Anyhow, now I have to buy a new pressure washer.

    And I bet it was described as a "life hack".

    I detest that everything these days is a "hack" when it's just a way of doing something differently.

    I saw a reel the other day where a woman was at a cinema, and bought a drink and popcorn as a combo deal to save 30p, and described that as a "life hack". Get in the ******* bin.

    I used YouTube last week to replace the wing mirror on my car. It turned out it was so simple I really didn’t need to have bothered, but it’s always nice to know what you’re doing in advance. I must be well into the tens of thousands of pounds what YouTube and random forums have saved me by now.
