  1. “The 28-year-old, who receives $500 a month in disability checks and makes another few hundred dollars as a video game streamer, says it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with expenses”- Who would have thought that? This guy is in his prime earning and investing years, yet he chooses to play video games. The credit card can’t swipe it’s self.

    1. Just like Trump and the PPP loans…. and the next 90 year old we elect president will continue the cycle… yawn
