How can you earn 500k/year and not be able to retire and live off of your index fund investment after a few years... Where did all that money go?

money finds a way to get spent when you feel like the influx of money will never stop at same or higher rate

Man fails to build nest egg, reaps the rewards.
If he was really making $500k/year for an extended period of time he must have had the lifestyle inflation to match, in order to be homeless in such a short timespan.

The man is literally homeless and begging for money. I try not to judge people and how they spend their money, but tbh I don't think him spending $500, $50, or even $5 on having a human make a similar picture would be a good use of his meager resources.

He has a fiancee. Any selfie or amateur picture would raise more symphathy.
Guy had approximately one shot at making a desperate call (we can all be there) and he fumbled it with AI imagery and text which will turn off a lot of people.

I must admit that it became extremely difficult to feel sympathy for the guy when, after extensively describing how AI systematically took from him every means he had of creating value, his conclusion was “AI is still great, the problem is that government and charities aren’t doing enough to cover the costs AI is imposing on me”.
