$250k guy is fundamentally retarded. He has more credit card debt than he's admitting (even that which he admits to is stupid--$8k credit card debt is dumb. He has more than enough money to pay that off. No wealthy person carries any balance--and certainly not $8k. what a dummy), has an idea that he "needs" 4-5 times the money that $1mil guy needs, but no current plan, let alone a foundation to get there.
how does the poverty line guy keep getting so many tickets? i mean, stop getting tickets! he said he had $3000 worth of tickets. then he says he pays one off and gets another. wtf???
He said half of it is just interest payments. He literally can't pay it off at this point.
I think the criticism is that he eats at home and still spends $800+ per month on groceries. That's absurd. I eat very well, very fancy, at home, and spend roughly $300 per month these days (that's for 2 adult humans). Maybe a little bit more.
Granted, I used to spend quite a bit more and ate fancy a bit more often per month, but considering that he's also in CA, where food is actually very cheap and very good compared to everywhere else, I find that to be a wasteful amount of money for a guy that claims to count every penny.

I want to feel bad for that guy at the poverty line but I was making more money than that at 16 and I knew then that condoms are cheaper than kids. And only one job? What a slacker.
I'd never want to live like that millionaire, too much focus on financial gain. Makes a million bucks/year but spends $800/month on groceries and eats at home. Seriously?
I feel like the guy at 250k is my kindred spirit.
As a Vietnamese American who grew up in Orange County, no I am not surprised. They are even more rich now because they all bought houses in the 80's/90's/00's that are worth xxx% more now.
On the other hands, culturally, people in the U.S. are among the stingiest in the world when it comes to buying food for themselves to prepare and eat. I certainly don't spend $1200 a month for just two of us, but just last night while my wife and I were at the grocery store picking up something for dessert after last night's dinner, we grabbed a couple of other things. A little pint of red raspberries were $3.99. Ditto the little pint of blackberries. A few other ingredients, and we were up to about $20 just for a breakfast.the million dollar guy spends 1200 a month on food.
must be eating some damn good food!

Most Americans see $4 for a small package of fresh blackberries and opt for pop-tarts with raspberry filling instead, because they can get the jumbo pack of pap-tarts for only $1.99 at Walmart.
Unless there is a chef skilled in the cuisine of basically culinary region stashed in my pantry that I have yet to find I'll be going out sometimes thanks. Last night was latin (Brazilian), two nights ago it was Bavarian, had dim sum last weekend, the list goes on. We cook at home a fair bit but there is a ton of stuff that I don't have the knowledge, time, or inclination to prepare. Also unless several of my favorite restaurants are going to give up their recipes to me they'll still be getting my business.

15 credit cards, seriously?

We eat main*ly at home. We spend around $1,200 a month.
You're pretty solid at missing the point. MOST of my meals are cooked at home. MOST != ALL. Good Indian food, I go out for that. Mediocre Indian food, we make at home with jars of sauce from Trader Joes or somewhere else.
There are plenty of things we'll go out for, but the majority of our meals get cooked at home because it is cheaper, healthier, better tasting, easier, etc.

I'm thinking to myself, you're eating all that fucking junk, then you work out at Planet Fitness.
Isnt that where they give you free pizza?
