Transcript

This dude gets paid by the government to go to school. What? Somebody got to tell me what country he's from. But he's ballooning out, 15 years old has a cold calling agency. There you go, $2400 for going to school. Obviously he's a kid, so he's not going to pay anything for housing. Shopping, entertainment, handicrafts, food, mussels. This dude is living his life to the fullest, as a 15 year old. And he saves 12 grand. All right. I wish they had this update when I was in school. What the hell, man?
