It’s too bad he’s in such difficulty that he has to eat at a food bank, but where did all that money go? And, presumably, decent money earned in previous years?
In a cyclical business, or a business dependent on the vagaries of a giant monopolistic corporation that can change the rules seemingly arbitrarily, it’s prudent to save for a rainy day.

- carlosjobim 2y agoHe probably eats at a food bank so that he doesn't have to touch the money he invested in the stock market when making $250 000. Asking him to touch his nest egg would just be cruel, so I recommend everybody in the food bank to get out of the line and make room when he shows up to fill his duffle bags.
