Well damn. I mean going to $5k a month from nothing isn't bad (especially in the middle of a pandemic) but those health issues are sure to put a damper on your spirits.
Instead of laughing we should give him props for putting his money where is mouth was and hope that he at least managed to get his health back.
Once you've been rich, you get certain privileges that are difficult to remove from the equation entirely, like education, connections, and (at least generally speaking) health. You also get a lot of leeway by having a safety net to fall back on.
But honestly, all that aside, big props to him for at least giving it a shot.
I Haven't read about him..
Did he admit defeat?
Did he admit that being born into poverty vs wealth and wellbeing provide vastly different opportunity?
Did he admit any use of said prior opportunity?
Did he admit his weak will when he couldn't go another measly 3 months to accomplish this one simple trick to stop being poor?
Did he admit he couldn't suffer through what millions do, what millions have to, what millions are forced to do, because of people with attitudes like him?
Did he admit he's a clown?
There's a bunch of videos in that article, so if you have the time to watch them, you'll probably be able to answer most of these questions yourself.
