Yes because selling $50 worth of weed is equal to a federal crime like counterfeiting.

You seem like someone who has little life experience.

It was more a comment on discipline. And selling small amounts of weed is hardly equated with "drug dealing".

Again, the point was the will to do it not necessarily how he did it.

I'm not saying I would do it and I don't think he was homeless more than 2 or 3 months.

He worked 80 hours a week. In SF, you can make up to $3000 in one week driving for Lyft.

I have a friend who saved $15,000 in 1 year selling cars and low quality marijuana (he made $1000/month from it).

He traveled to 50+ countries and slept outside everywhere except poor countries where it was cheap to get a bed.

When he returned to the US, he sold cars and was homeless. Literally he slept outside but still worked out and ate well. When he got a car, he still slept outside.

He recently just made $60,000 driving for Lyft/Uber in 6 months and saved $30,000 (assuming a lot went to taxes).

He then moved and slept in hus car for 1+ month while having 30k and perfect credit, and still driving. Now he's taken a month off to pursue creative and side projects.

If you don't have a family, then anything is possible.
