<p>Read along to learn the English phrases YOU CAN&#39;T TAKE IT WITH YOU and YOLO!</p><p>In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English saying, &quot;You can&#39;t take it with you.&quot; When you say you can&#39;t take it with you in English, it&#39;s a humorous way to talk about the fact that when you die, it&#39;s a loud train, eh? Can you guys hear that? I&#39;ll just keep going.</p><p>It&#39;s a humorous way to talk about the fact that when you die you can&#39;t take your house, your car or your money with you. And so it&#39;s kind of suggesting that you should either, a) Spend all of it before you die, or what I think is a better idea, b, give away generously some of the money to causes that need it.</p><p>So you can do either, and the phrase can mean the same thing for both. You can&#39;t take it with you simply means, well, why are you saving all of your money for a later day when eventually you&#39;re going to die and you can&#39;t take that money with you to whatever lies beyond. The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is YOLO.</p><p>It&#39;s actually an acronym. I think I might have taught this one before, but YOLO is kind of like a young person&#39;s way of saying you only live once or just have a really good time because you&#39;re gonna die eventually. You only live once. YOLO.</p><p>You&#39;ll hear this sometimes when you watch TV or other shows. So to review, you can&#39;t take it with you. A humorous way to talk about money and things and material possessions. You can&#39;t take it with you, so you might as well enjoy them while you&#39;re here. And my suggestion would be is if you can afford it, donate to worthy causes.</p><p>And the second one is YOLO. Sorry if you&#39;re wondering what all the noise is, we now have a garbage truck going by. YOLO means you only live once, so enjoy life as much as you can. By the way, did you see the there&#39;s an actual barber pole here.</p><p>That&#39;s kind of that&#39;s kind of a Blast from the past, but hey, let&#39;s look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Unsal. I was wondering how common are fences in residential areas in Canada? Is privacy that important for most homeowners, or are fences mostly used to mark property lines?</p><p>Just to mark property lines. Thanks for another great lesson. You&#39;re awesome. Have a great day. Bye. My response: Very common. It is usually the first thing a homeowner builds when buying a new house in a town or city. Th
