I've made my riches by buying foreclosed houses from poor people and reselling them at a major profit. It's not right that people lose their homes, but if someone is going to make money off it, it might as well be me.

I'm not sure you understand what some of the words you wrote mean.

It gives me a weird feeling that you're trying to profit and become rich off of homelessness. But, this is HN so... I guess its to be expected.

It's not racism. It's never been about race.

It's always been about money. The people who have it and the people who don't.

Wait, so you know you will work after retirement. You get personal enjoyment out of your work. But you don't know what your work will be?

It sounds like you're saying that you want to continue existing and being able to do things after you retire... That is exactly what retirement is. Why do you feel like you need to sound like one of those "go-getting", "I'm-always-working" people who thinks everyone should work 22 hours a day?

Realize that the only person in the world who cares about your frustrations is you. If you can't handle your shit, people won't want to be around you. You need to make it your personal responsibility to be a good team player. It should help you to realize that all of your amazing skills and talent aren't worth anything if no one can stand being around you.

Only the naive believe something is "free"

yikes, the shameless stupidity of this comment is very worrying to me

> As someone who lives outside of the US: your political and economic system is at best illogical

What a dumb, dumb, dumb thing to say. Why are you not embarrassed to be saying things like this?

Back to /r/the_donald with you!

Do you know how I know you're in your 20s?

I would like to get rich from working on an easy software project that will make me a lot of money for not a lot of effort.

Does anyone have an idea like that? Thank you.

Can I chat with you some time? You are basically who I am going to grow up to be in ~15 years and I'd like to know more about where I'm headed.

My advice to you would be to be less self-obsessed. It will be important for you and your happiness to come to terms with how little you matter and how unimportant you are to the world. No one cares what you did in university - that was another life.

This should bring you comfort.

You got to take a 4 week vacation from work and YOU GOT PAID FOR IT.

That you would say "Maybe the problem is you and not your lack of trust fund" is absolutely hilarious. You think everyone is as spoiled as you with free months of salary? Sorry to shatter your world view....

This is basically exactly what I would expect someone who has gotten rich from exploiting poor people to say. We need fewer people like you in the world.

People actually fall for this? He made a long, sob-story blog post about how miserable he was being homeless and how he wishes he had more money so he could afford more nutritious food.

And then people sent this guy over $40k? For no reason?

I need to get into the sob-story business.

This guy seems to have fully embraced the "Haters gonna hate" mentality that he advised against in the last article.

Amazing what happens to some peoples' minds when they get hit with a little criticism.

The "supportive comment" is just a 2-sentence opinion telling him exactly what he wants to be told.

I would urge people to take any advice from this person with a healthy dose of salt.
