Millionaire Goes Homeless To Prove Anyone Can Make $1,000,000 

Honestly, I dont know what to even say

I believe in him. After seeing this I know ANYONE can make a comeback where your net worth goes down at least $185,000 and you call it quits when you realize it's not working and go work for your dad.

dont respond to assholes :)

Let’s not forget that people have made it back from worse,

People are really ignorant if you have to explain this

So true

Understand the message, gain skills

Not to mention rampant mental illness, physical illness, zero family or support, substance abuse issues, etc...

@@corriejo3655 That is the point though. You start with yourself to get your life on track and then you can ACTUALLY get your life on track. Of course you won't be able to make a million dollars if you live in a crack house, but that isn't something out of your control. You can make the decision to go homeless and then work hard, which will make it easier after that. But it starts with yourself and nothing but your own willpower.

Statistical fact: A majority of generational wealth was created by people who were poor. Correlation is not causation.

School should teach you direct skills to make money or teach you how to learn those skills?

@@sirnikkel6746 no, bcuz then everyone would be rich/succesful Edit(after 2 months): and that would mean chaos and probably end of humanity, because almost noone (except people who have their own passion) would do basic tasks and keep successful people being rich by selling their time as worker and letting people from up doing exploitation

@@Masked_madness09 The good ending. But... Where actual answer: Teach raw knowledge or teach how to learn?

@@sirnikkel6746 They do teach you how to learn those things. Math, English, science, history...all those things give you the basic tools. From there you can use those tools to learn more in your own time. They can't babysit you. I'm sure that you can find plenty of time on your own.

@@sherlyn.a So, teach to learn. Settled it is. *Starts the XP grinding*

❤ I love you for that cause we know the truth

For those whom are homeless, at least in some instances, communication is not a strength. Those who are non-verbal, or those whom are speech impaired, have poor communication and/or social skills and therefore cannot find much of any help from anyone, may never find employment of nearly any kind, but no one expected this experiment to address THAT.

@@HSTRTGMS wow that comment was irrelevant to what he was talking about

The key is he had the knowledge to succeed and wasn’t challenged by mental and/or drug issues.

And he borrowed the use of a computer, and RV. Most of us homeless don't have that, nor power to use them. Try without the cell phone, and charger, and not paying the bill. That's the real life and test. He cheated with far more than I had after being evicted.

Nobody knows anything, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin ,While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving

Many overlook that banks are return-driven businesses. I don't trust keeping a large sum in a bank. Instead, I invest with guidance, enjoy the benefits, and save for retirement.

After the '08 financial crisis, I've learned not to trust corporations. Since 2020, I've been investing with a financial advisor and have had no major losses, so I'm not going back to relying solely on banks.

Poor guy

A homeless person starting with a modern computer with access to the internet is not starting with nothing. This is plane cheating

​@@JamieAllen1977😂😂😂😂

yeah that is pretty bs

And?

He also looked "clean". No, homeless doesn't mean dirty. But it's pretty obvious when someone's actually been living on the street long term vs this guy.

@@StephiieZee yeah, was thinking he needed to not cut his hair or shave for a couple months before starting

Mhmmm exactlyyyy

That's totally not the point. It's obvious that the challenge shows $0 to $1,000,000. And his zero dollar definitely covers 99% of America, even if he didn't smell the exact odor of a homeless guy from Philly. Most ppl will stay poor bc they won't get the big lessons, and rather complain the title wasn't exact enough according to how his clothes looked. Twitter mentality

@@alvinsheczlek5243 I'm just saying that these things definitely contribute. I'm aware not every homeless, or broke person is the same. And well, the reality is, he didn't reach his goal - I'm not sure if he even got close? I do like the message of the video, and I like to look at the other side too.

😂😂

😂

Why didn't I think of that? 😂

Of course being poor is a lifestyle choice..

Yeah your right and I was just thinking that. if he started with nothing but also a major drug problem like 98% of them have.. you'd have to break it first! and it usually cost them their life to break it. meaning a very high percent don't make it. but some do change.

drug addicts can be extremely successful, look at Hunter Biden lol don't make excuses. For sure the most important thing is knowledge of the system/industries

And great credit score friends

@@MM-ig1iv the point of the video isn't to prove that the average homeless person can make a million dollars.

@@stevob6609 Read the title of the video

Wow 😂😂😂with what money🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I agree with you!! Two houses if your homeless for a yr. This video just did what you said. Why stop with one house...buy a car as well.

@bobshreder u would get approved for luxury house or any house to rent be real 😂

I like that none of the people who replied to you are familiar with the meme. Best comment!

and you're going to effing pay for it?

yeah it was his banker from his private company more than likely.

Yeah, its stupid.

Yup.

It sounds like he did some networking and offered a percentage of profit to whoever co-signed for him. The co-sign was more of a business deal than a friend/banker helping him out

@@Sebav2554 when was this? Imustve missed it.

That has nothing to do with this? Bot comment

Is this about homeless people? I don’t think that’s his point.

@@marcopeel Yeah it is smh... whole point is to try and say anyone, even homeless, can make $1M eventually...

@@SStupendous everyone can make a million u just gotta have a good idea

@@Alexander24871 -AND the facilities to make your 'good idea' happen.

@@SStupendous no u just need a good idea and a working brain and u can make it happen

Yeah all that and there are like 40 more points I could add on. This vid is so tone-deaf.

I feel this story really falls through when he gets a stranger to cosign without background checking or even if the stranger fully knows he has bad/no credit, I agree the camera crew also spoils the experiment as well.....honestly the whole thing is spoiled from day one with him having no debt to pay back while enring money going into a homeless state, yeah this is a bunch of hokum! Lets not get started if the guy was black! LOL Now there's a shit show for you!

I live in Philadelphia. This video makes me think that I need to stop every homeless person I see downtown and be like "Bro, have you tried starting a subscription coffee business? You know how to do that, right? Just rent the office, I'm sure someone will cosign! Not me tho, but someone will."

Yeah he was no long homeless when he was literally given a permanent home for free btw. Let’s see how many actually homeless people get that insanely huge advantage

@@anovosedlik Hell, I'm still trying to figure out how he got a couch transported to him so he could resell it. People giving away free furniture usually aren't going to deliver it to you.

He makes a point for homeless people unknowingly. They can’t just opt out when things get rough like he did.

they can opt out but its permanent@@ireneada1930

@@ireneada1930 Not the same. The guy was still running a 40-60 hour/week project on the background. He was homeless while working full-time for free, basically. If he actually had the time to get a full-time job, things could have been a lot different. Could have gotten a cash job like me and thousands of other immigrants have done. There's a lot of jobs out there, even if you're homeless and stink and look like shit. I'm on telegram groups where people are begging for cash workers to do simple tasks like help move furniture paying $50 for a couple hours of work, do some post-construction cleaning for $20/hour, and similar. Most of these jobs you don't even need to speak the language, evidenced by the fact that my mom (who doesn't speak english) and several of our immigrant friends were able to do these gigs. People just aren't willing to put in the work.

Being homeless is all fun and games until it's uncomfy and you want to quit so you return to your millions.

Imagine being homeless in 2023 💀

💯

What time?

Ya this is fake I have been homeless when I was a kid this is not what is looks like

He was probably talking about the place he was using the computers at

@@SmashtoonGamer idk about that

he didn't get 1 mil, did you watch the video?

He didnt say any homeless person can do this

Well obviously, you expect him to go out with literally nothing?

Facts. He has a big advantage working with a big team also, usually homeless people are alone and have no plan on how to make ends meet.

I feel like there's a misinterpretation with the title saying homeless but the title didn't said he couldn't have his phone with him.

Hahahahaha was thinking the same

He probably made someone a good Offer

You'll be surprised how often you get lucky if you look hard enough.

The guy who cosigned got a percentage of rent money

HAHA I couldnt get my mom to co sign car loan for me when I bought my first car.

Yeah I crashed at a friends house and he kicked me out while he was at work lol not to mention I couldn’t get into a shelter because I stayed at his fuckn house

Literally got everything handed to him on a platter and he acts like he walked over coals.

@@lich109 yeah. I wish what he went through was the toughest year of my life

Few events are more traumatizing than homelessness.

@@ironknightgaming5706 that is true

you should have found a landlord like Mikes, they will let you move into a $4000 a month property and pay no deposit or 1-2 months monthly rent in advance. They will let you sublet it, need no references, you will pay no tax on the rental income from the sub tenants. You can become a property magnet and end up renting the White House

Hope you're doing well now. I've experienced homelessness too and it's the most soul breaking thing a man can experience. Truly terrible.

Good Advice @@chipbuttytime3396 10/10

He already had people, that's why he could do it, if you're no-one, you won't get this easy

And he maintained contact with his girlfriend the whole way through. That feeling of connection, being loved, appreciated, valuable is often the key thing people are missing.

@@williamwatson2423 people in these comments are like "see anyone can do it, if you try hard enough" meanwhile this dude is physically and mentally healthy, has a camera on him all day and even if everything fails he has a literal million to fall back on. Guys if you think this could be you if you just "try hard enough" you are deluding yourself.

Not to mention he had some dude offer to drive out to give him a place to stay. If this was any other joeshmo on the street that would NOT happen so easily lmao

​@@americantoastman7296 "this dude is physically and mentally healthy, has a camera on him all day " and in the same comment you also say: "Guys if you think this could be you if you just "try hard enough" you are deluding yourself." You're trolling right? it's really not at all unrealistic to buy a camera and be physicially and mentally healthy... If being physically and mentally healthy is something you think is unrealistic for most people than I feel very sorry for you.

Which is highly unlikely in less than one year, if not even possible at all lol

The comment I've been looking for

except the fighter would have to try and obtain the belt with a leg and an arm cut off, since the millionare had all of his contacts connections and money taken out of the equation

The point of this is through education anything is possible

@@new_filler unfortunately when I turned 13, I found out this is not the case for everyone. Comes your mind... Comes favor, comes genes, becoming smarter and having income. Some people play life smooth, some make and continue to make mistakes. Anything is possible, but a very low low low chance depending on what it is. Usually, nowadays, we rely on LUCK

Pretty sure he bought that chrome book

He bought the laptop it wasnt given to him

Very!

He bought the chrome book though?

I thought exactly the same.

you heard how much time he spent managing them too, he had is own handicaps

Just search job on subway. They accept everyone. Df

Nobody understands the project. He's not trying to create a literal real representation of being homeless and have nothing. He's just trying to test himself and inspire others to do difficult things.

But he did all the stuff by himself,Meanwhile most people live in their parents house until they are 23~25YO and get food and clothes for free

yeah having a social media audience of millions kinda makes this all worth it for him. Being, alone, and homeless makes this "experiment" a little different.

I’m mentally ill and not homeless

I agree, but for those without these issues and not even homeless at all they can learn to take on more risks while still young.

I agree. Its a fun challenge but he has his wits a phone an education and a safty net. Most are homeless from addiction and trauma. I hope people are smart enough to not just look down on homeless even more from this.

@@sonderexpeditions I agree with you. This can be a good source of inspiration to people who have goals they want to achieve.

@@Y0ROY0 also a good amount of homeless people stay homeless because they like the freedom that lifestyle provides which is a unique perspective.

A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $350k since then.

Thank you for saving me hours of back and forth investigation into the markets. I simply copied and pasted her full name into my browser, and her website came up first in search results. She looks flawless.

Underrated comment dude 👏 I kno the pinned comment says its technically abt a #comeback from nothing butttt it feels like a bait & switch for "anyone can overcome anything and make it." Your analogy helps to explain why ppl keep calling BS on this well done, but kinda misleading video

Damn this comment summed it up.

This is exactly True

then i started shooting

YES just bulshit man.ANd APLLE PRODUCT PUMPIN FROM ANYWHERE :D like wtf

I was just about to comment that. After hearing that I thought "what next? Is daddy Warbucks gonna adopt him from his apartment after he tapped his heels 3 times.

Exactly!… what a let down

Dad gets cancer coincidentally during this short window... He coincidentally gets health problem too. Lol....

Haters says it's fake He is just loved by all gods in the heaven so he has all luck he could have. If he wants to dominate the world, he could become the emperor.

Oh you just tell them i'm actually a millionaire and i'm doing a homeless project. Sign my paper and i will reward you in the future. Easy... Anyway, an actual homeless person can't do this because he has no way to be sure he can pay back the cosigner in one year. He might get killed...

@@mon4d maybe there, in my country not really. It is all about the culture and the env. In a startup env ppl are more willing to help startups.

Most people don't even have the guts to simply ask. If you never ask the answer will always be no 💯

Well of course, any homeless person with cameras following him and good phone can get business partners

By being active this dude said he worked 40-60 hours a week. If u do that too only couple months i can quarantee you start to see results. Ppl whine how hard thing are when they actually never put in work. Work year like crazy and if still startin point something wrong badly

Well said lmao

...

Bad comparison. Even if Ronaldo signs for a new club, he still keeps his skills and tactical understanding. If you said “Ronaldo resets his football skills and prowess, but still remembers the ways he got them” that’d make sense as the man in the video uses past experiences and knowledge to gain his way up.

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.

The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $3900. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills

You trade with Judith M Layton too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family

Riiiighhht cause people definitely reach out to strange homeless ppl and offer them an opportunity to come to his house! Marketing education may have helped a little as well and of course most homeless ppl have that and no mental health issues. This is just like a true homeless experience I’m certain!

@@dddaaa6965 Higher than that, probably.

That last part sums it up perfectly 😂

i honestly thought the same watching this, i been in situations like this before, and nobody thats a stranger will just pick you up, especially for FREE.

Well you were homeless and now you have a phone and money. What’s the difference? He was just able to do it quicker because he knows what he’s doing and yes, maybe had a small advantage.

@@joelk3187 I have a phone now and money that took years to achieve - Not because I did not work for them, or I didn't know how. It is extremely difficult to recover from poverty and homelessness, it is mentally exhausting, stressful, and depressing. You fail to realize how unrealistic your perception of homelessness is if you think that starting from nothing, with nothing is easy because he did it quicker? Most people "know what they're doing." With that being said he doesn't have a small advantage, he had enablers. His situation is unrealistic. As I mentioned before in my original post he had so many helping hands. If you think people in reality are that helpful, or even that caring you are sadly mistaken. No one would drive 30 minutes to pick up a homeless-man that they don't know. And the thought of someone co-signing a lease for a homeless-man is straight out insulting.

Go read the pinned comment they explained all of that except that weird fixation you have with the made up advantages he clearly didn’t have

@@CORYBUXtv yeah that’s the point of the video smh

Sad to see all the hate Mike (the millionaire) is getting. Yes he has some cheats, and unfair advantages but it was only a little. He pushed through and it's inspiring, I'm touched.

@@tubbysza A business degree and years of experience in marketing are significant advantages that most homeless people don't have.

@@mattwong5403 Is that not one major moral of the story? Be knowledgeable on getting rich, financial management, etc. With that alone, going from homeless to 100k can be done expeditiously. What's the problem? People here act so offended and personally attacked by his success, also acting like he is bullying homeless people. I'm concerned for the many viewers of this video.

Why not cultivate a similar mindset then?

lmao well said

Yep LOL I quit my job, oh no I have to sleep outside, I call my buddy and stay on his couch (the RV) and have another job working on network systems by next week, tomorrow if I take a temp job for less than 50k just to bridge the resume gap. If shit got real bad I could just use my credit to get loans or rent apartments and sublet them for more, almost like he does with the apt in this video. Meanwhile, homeless people with no credit, dirty clothes, whos work experience is 4 years in the army and 15 years in a factory, with a health condition, no health insurance, and live in one of the gorgeous Republican states that doesn't give Medicaid to homeless people? Get Fucked

When i heard these niggas say 25 dollar a hour was below average wage bruh....... I genuinely cant believe thats considered below average wage

don't forget to spend the 250K for the camera crew/support team on call or you just would'nt have that support or that local office to sleep in if you don't get back to the RV in time!!!!! lol...

Yea having a film crew with you....it really compels others to treat you well for their own fame....in case it goes viral (which it did).

Even with those things and natural aptitude, apparently you'll probably only 'make' enough to pay the bills... barely. It would take multiple years and/or serious luck to get anywhere sooner

Chase enough to be comfortable. It's more rewarding. Cause you can actually do it. And keep yourself from overindulgence that seems to turn decent humans into vane, materialistic dumpster fires.

The best part of the video for me is that he had all those things you outlined and STILL failed lmao. Like they had to change the message of the video from the beginning statement that like "Ohh anyone can make a million dollars..." To "Being healthy and happy is the most important thing in life!!!" WHICH BY THE WAY IS A LOT EASIER TO DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT LIVING ON THE FUCKING STREETS lmaooooooooo

@@nathan-qx2ep addiction isn’t only in the form of drugs, addictions come in all forms. Sometimes mental health is something you can’t just work through, there are severe and less severe cases. There are variables in everyone’s life but to make a video and say on anyone can do this is incredibly misleading. The only ignorant one is you here, even though you want to display intelligent, you’re not. Glad you’re able to work with the band dealt to you but for some out there that just isn’t a reality.

@@nathan-qx2ep yes but you are only one case. and some ppls mental health issues are way beyond yours. everyone has a mental illness at one point or another in their lives to a certain degree. if you saw something like your buddies brains get blown out or something along those lines traumatically then its going to be a lot harder than some other peoples "mental illnesses"

​@@CarmenBuenrostro I don't believe there are many more addictions that are quite as harmful, destructive, and most importantly difficult to escape from as drugs/alcohol. It is also one of the main causes for homelessness. Regarding mental illness however, if the one you posses prevents you from completing work, then this video isn't for you, and additionally, the help and path out of homelessness for you required is quite visibly extremely different. A third party's help is almost always needed. It is ignorant however, to say that Mike was trying to give a solution and guide to all homeless people. That he treated this as a game and that his past experiences were to blame for his success. Its obvious he more intended this as a guide not to those facing such complex issues, but more towards those that have only fallen into homelessness due to a chain of unfortunate events that befell them. He is giving tips like flipping free products on craigslist for some profit. Clearly it is not a solution to millions of Americans' homelessness, however, it is a stepping stone that they can use effectively, just like he did, to recover from the situation. Making about the median US salary in only, 10 months, and what would have been more if he had gone all 12 months, after starting with just a phone and clothes is extremely inspiring and helpful to those who are in a similar position. Not only did he show that you can recover from such hopeless situations, inspiring most likely millions of people that watched this and other videos about him, he proved that hard work is really all you need. Many probably doubted themselves and their abilities. Watching this however, shows you can make serious cash with just hard work. And even if he had only his past experiences to thank for his clear success, he shared the steps he took with everyone else. Now anybody recreate his steps that you say were only achievable through his expertise, and do the same. Is it not ignorant to say that this video documenting his experiences, "...doesn't prove anything."? Even if hadn't shown that anyone can do it. If he had proven that only those with his knowledge, and those that have nothing to lose (which doesn't even make sense as what does a homeless individual have to lose?) could make it out, then is it not still ignorant to say that he doesn't prove anything if he had now given everyone a step-by-step tutorial on just how to replicate his actions? These "normal people" without his expertise and experience can now just follow his steps and escape. Your comment is just full of broken logic, hypocrisy, ignorance, and really just pathetic and pitiful. Why do you hate on, and more precisely, disregard and discredit someone's successes? He succeeds in his challenge. He inspires millions. He creates hope and opportunity. And he Yet this is seemingly not enough for you as it has not solved a deeply intricate issue, that is old. It has only done the listed above and more, yet you still dispute his actions. Extremely disrespectful and ignorant behavior towards his journey and those he impacted so greatly. Perhaps you just envy those that work hard and succeed. Perhaps a young millionaire proving that its not luck that got him to where he is, but work and intelligence, just makes people less successful than him feel insecure and envious. That is where your ignorance truly shines, where as you cannot acknowledge that someone is more intelligent or experienced, you stay believing the world is pitted against you. Instead of perhaps understanding and thinking to yourself, "maybe this rich guy knows a thing or two that I could learn and pick up on," you choose to claim he still had some unrealistic and/or beneficial circumstances that made him succeed once more, instead of just listening and improving. Many lessons and conclusions to be drawn from this man and his experiences. I choose to learn that perseverance and hard work can make anyone succeed. That focus and determination are vital towards the successes of our goals. As well as much more. You choose to conclude that there is some underlying or concealed thing making him succeed. That he is just lucky. That his steps are unrealistic in the real world. That he ignores several issues that can be encountered, never once pondering that perhaps making excuses and discrediting him won't benefit you in anyway. Instead of bringing yourself up to everyone else and above to feel good. To feel smart. To be good. You choose to bring everyone down to and below you to feel better about your issues. To mask your insecurities. To feel better than everyone else. Instead of being like a flower seed that uses the protection given by the Nurse Plant to just peacefully grow, you act like a weed that only grows the tallest by bringing down the plants around it.

you know what's crazy? a lot of people thought this was real

Even if the video is not real. Here in Portugal its just like you said. Generous strangers and people, easy job opportunities and graceous clients. When i went to the North of Portugal, in 22 days, i only went 3 times to a restaurant. I even had managed to sleep in some houses. After a good little talk people invited me to join in dinner or lunch. Its not something out of this world. I am used to travel a lot, so if you have confidence and good talking, you can make that too. People just find it hard to do it because they see the world too selfish, and never in their life they will think that some stranger will give stuff for free. Here in Portugal, my house furniture is mostly made out of free stuff.

@@dubious6718 right like what stranger is going to give you his credit, not knowing if they will leave you hanging.

Not to mention, almost all his businesses he started when his homeless miraculously turns a profit, thats incredibly lucky.

Yep I said the same thing. Actually is super rare to pick up a random person from the street and take it to live with you.

Yeah... even if it was true it wouldn't prove a point. He has experience, if his project fails, he doesn't have a problem, he does have external motivation, social pressure etc etc

Yeah what homeless person can just get a random dude to stay with and get that person to lend you a car?!

Yea why would you trust a random person on the street you don't know to live in your home? No one would do that

"just buy a chromebook and start a company, hire several people and start having fucking meetings"

This guy has no idea what it's like to be homeless. This was just a challenge and not a real struggle. Unlike a real homeless person who struggles day to day with with where to sleep, where to eat, trying to keep a decent mental health to not sink into despair, dealing with health issues and knowing you can't afford the medication , even some cheap OTC stuff, petty police harassment due to city ordinances that for all purposes make it a crime to be homeless... I could go on and on and on. If he really wanted a challenge he should've had someone else chose a random day and drop him off at a random location with no resources. Maybe $100, a sleeping bag and a prepaid phone and figure it out from there. At the end of this challenge he knew he was going back to his comfy lifestyle so he has no idea what it's really like.

@@markalbarracin2011 Almost no business made 0 - 1m $ in a year. But making 0-60k in a year is a success by itself, and if you were businessman, which, well, your comment gives answer away easily xD, you would know that 2nd year he can get 150-800k. And plus most people don't start on a bench. Worrying about making enough to pay the bills is one thing, setting up your living conditions and all that stuff takes time, which he could have spent on business. Also, those who inherit wealth are more likely to fail without it, but that doesnt take away anything from them, its not wrong or right, its THEIRS, period.

Exactly

Same thing I thought.. he had to have real good credit obviously and 2 years of income atleast here in texas to get a house. Im pretty sure the cosigner saw his credit report before he signed too.

Co-signer 😂 you found one on Facebook marketplace? Good one buddy, my parents own their home and have good credit so do I, us combined wouldn’t qualify for that

Mf my own parents won’t co-sign for me

Probably cuz the whole thing was on social media and someone watching him decided to help him

This is a constant thing that wealthy people and their defenders miss. And they miss it intentionally because then they can't claim to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and say "I didn't have an advantage." If someone wealthy did lose their fortune overnight they probably would get it back eventually. Not because they are geniuses that work hard. Because they already have networks and access to people with money. This is the real key.

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.

Investing in stocks can be a wise decision, especially if you have a dependable trading system that can lead to successful outcomes.

You're absolutely right.

and that lack of control leads to hatred, bitterness, apathy and inflammation. you feel pain both outside and inside. as if you are in a burning hell despite standing on a cold street. Seeing internet comments or commerials telling you: "just work harder ;)" makes you want to gut them out of spite. I still have issues trusting people these days.

@@williampan29 Yeah, I totally get what you're saying. I also felt a little bit frustrated while watching this video, because it's the exact representation of the narrative of "if you want you can". Which of course has *some* truth to it, but if you want to make a dogma out of it becomes delusional and disrespectful. And a lot of people that think this way end up blaming the homeless people for not finding a way out of it with a "Oh he's just lazy" and people in 3rd world countries with "they are savages" not knowing that if they are not dying of starvation it's because they had the luck to be born in a modernized country, but they would still say that it's not luck, they deserved to be born here and the others deserved to be born there. Regarding trust issues I totally understand what you mean, I'm still not over it, but I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that the thing that helped me is *becoming myself the person I would trust.* (I know, it sounds a little bit cheesy). For example there is an old homeless man that sometimes waits for the bus he would then sleep in at the bus stop just outside the condo I now live in, and when I see him I grab a bag and put some food (bananas, oranges, crackers, chocolate, biscuits...) and some other useful stuff (masks, hand sanitizer, new socks, a compact umbrella...) and since he both drinks and smokes I go down with a nice beer and a couple of cigarettes (he usually picks up the unfinished cigarettes from the sidewalk) and have a chat with him while we drink a beer. I stopped smoking cigarettes years ago and I never drink alone, but I do both when I'm with him because I know that human contact is even more precious than food in that situation. I don't know if this could also be useful for you, but it helped me to restore a little bit of faith in humanity. After all, I'm part of the same humanity I lost my faith in. It's a strange concept, I know, but it worked for me. Another example of this is that one year into being homeless (I found out that my mother had terminal cancer) I started using drugs (mdma, ketamine and cocaine) to ease the pain and feel a little bit of joy, when I realized that I was becoming addicted to them I decided to stop using them all, and I managed to do that, helping myself by helping a friend of mine that started smoking heroin. (her ex boyfriend got her into that, that piece of sh!t). She is now clean, she has a boyfriend she lives with and a job. Helping her helped *me* a lot. I didn't even went through the usual struggle of withdrawal from using this substances.

@@williampan29 But yeah, it still have some trust issues and sometimes anger issues. That will take time to fully elaborate it, and it would probably still be a part of me for many years to come. I think the key here is to process and accept every aspect of this experience, even your own anger in order to end up being more or less capable of managing it in the future. This at least is my experience, I know that yours might be very different. I really hope you'll find your way to rise above it.

The guy in this video's experience with homelessness was pointing at a bench and saying "I thought about sleeping there" and then got all his medical expenses paid for with insurance. He basically went glamping but for being poor and literally couldn't even show himself that he could do it even with all the advantages he had.

Agreed. Like this guy, I also have multiple autoimmune disorders. He should try this experiment without proper medical care. Body running down, no meds, too tired to run around to the thrift store or wherever he can get food or whatever, too ill to ride a bike, while trying to do the gig economy shit, with no saviors who can easily sniff out his class and career background and offer him housing and showers and cosigning on a lease, probably with complex trauma from a life of poverty or fleeing abuse. This man was not even doing homelessness on a standard couchsurf difficulty level.

This is true and at the same time the message still stands. You can improve your situation by pushing forward. Sometimes people need help getting there but it's still possible. Not saying everyone can become a millionaire within a year, that's unrealistic. But you can improve your daily situation and that's what matters. It's easier for him due to his background and mental state but that doesn't mean someone can't go from being homeless to renting a room or couch surfing, moving to an apartment eventually, etc. It won't be easy and it will take a lot but you can move forward. I know a few people who have been homeless before due to drug problems they had in the past but they eventually improved their lot in life.

oh,so are you homeless?

Well, the message would still be the same if he said starting below the poverty line. Many people are missing the point. Look at your own life how can you improve your situation? If you are fine with mediocrity then no one will stop you. This message is for those who will use it to better themselves.

@@krishanmani1796 You personally don't need to experience the exact circumstances someone has to understand their situation, it's called having empathy. As an extension of that people also learn by observing others or from mentors, so your point isn't really a point as it is moreso just you shrugging off accountability. Most people are going to have a hard time in their life and the reality is you won't always have someone there to save you. Even if the situation you're in isn't your fault, you are still the one who has to overcome that situation. It won't always be easy, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. You can do nothing to improve your situation or you can try to better yourself. You may not get the results you want but the alternative is doing nothing and forever staying in the same circumstances. Don't quit before you've even begun.

Regardless of skills, which can be picked up, this doesn't even come close to the mental condition of the homeless. You don't have all that drive to make calls and work jobs when your mental health is in shit condition, you are depressed, you are constantly threatened by other homeless far more crazy than you and you risk getting addicted to something.
