    Black ended the challenge having completed 10 months, with just 60 days left to run. He had managed to make a grand total of $64,000.

    Pretty damn far from a million, but much more than many make in a year still. I do wonder if he used contacts/network he made while wealthy, that would easily completely invalidate the point he was trying to make.

      I read a bit about this the other day. He absolutely used his connections and skills to make this money.

      In fact one of the first things that happens is he gets a free place to live while working. He’s documenting this process the whole time, you see, and someone who was a fan let him stay in their trailer.

      He winds up making money by reselling coffee marketed as “for dog lovers”.

      How in the fuck a homeless person is supposed to even start doing that is beyond me, nevermind getting a free place to stay.
