I respect him as a man, poster, icon, hero. but it is called "attention seeking behavior" I work with people like that for a living. Nothing wrong with it or knocking him in any way. Facts are facts.
He did take that bus (or was it a train) a couple of times to Jersey with a bag full of cash to Jersey to make his March Madness bets.
Doug definitely learned/knew how to live not spending much money day to day.
Totally agree. Me and Sam were talking about this yesterday.
I can't imagine what it must feel like to have 400k+ cold card cash at his disposable to basically nothing now. and for what? To lose it on 3 hour sporting events and now has to go back to work. I can't even fathom what that must feel like. I can't relate because I would of used that $ for my future.
If his monthly nut was $2,000 (and I definitely don’t think it was that high). He could have lived 20-plus years (factoring in some interest on the principal) on what he had.
And if he moved to a different city or state probably even better. I once told him he could come to SEA , start a new life and he would of been set.
I once told him I lived in one of the nicest mid-size cities in my state (no state taxes to boot) and a sweet 3-bedroom, 2-bath house could be had for under $300k. Sure wish he would have. Hundreds of cities like it across the US that aren’t NYC. Didn’t get the impression Doug had a lot of family there except that crazy ex-gf.
Same man, u know how much i hit for, gona take a month to unwind somewhere sooi have like 560 hrs pto somewhere around there
There are many states you can get nice homes for 150k or less too. LIfe changing money for most people. Odds are for him to ever get near that again is gonna be hard.
He said he hasnt talked to his dad in yrs and mom died
I know he was getting some govt assistance, but yeah sucks man if he kept it small like i do couldve lasted forever and hit some futures lol
A cautionary tale.
The ones he hit are so hard i think a few he laid like 20/30k on which are insane.
