    Something that I didn’t see mentioned (except maybe one comment).

    Even without considering connections or know how, He was not burned out, not at all.

    That’s why all these experiments are faulty in principle. People don’t become homeless when they are ready for a challenge. They become homeless after they become burned out.

    After the 10 months, he was closer than he has ever been in his life (still not there since he had $60K) to being homeless and that’s when he couldn’t continue and had to quit. Lol

        Substance abuse as a stand in for medical care to treat chronic pain.

        Mental disability thanks to physical abuse from your elders/peers, malnutrition, and chronic stress.

        A criminal record from living on the street as a vagrant. Nevermind hygiene issues.

        But it’s no sweat. Millionaire in 365 days. Easy. Anyone can do it.

        This is the real thing. You need some combination of substance and mental health problems and not have access to anyone who can help you. You’re guaranteed to be homeless.

        That’s one reason why I’ve always been told never to give money to homeless people sure it could help but most of the time they are just going to blow it on drugs so if you actually want to help give them food or a comb or cologne so they can make themselves more presentable in a job interview
