I feel sorry for the guy who gave him the room in his RV to sleep in. He wanted to help out someone who's homeless, but instead he's helping a millionaire who's trying to prove a point that people shouldn't have "excuses" for being poor.
and also taking up that opportunity for someone else. he might have given that room to someone genuinely in need. same with all the free stuff from market place. it might have gone to someone who needed it.
i was thinking this but im sure its fake
@@fuzzjunkyThis this this, as a homeless person of six years who works his ass off and still can't afford an apartment the way we are treated is terrible enough already but now what if this guy makes people fucking wary of helping us? They already fucking don't so he's just fucking us even more
What I feel makes it worse, is that Mike was trying to prove that there was no 'luck' involved. Night 1, and Mike got lucky that a good samaritan with extra living space found him and gave him a roof and bed... so Mike didn't need to struggle going day to day, keeping his phone charged on public outlets, maintaining hygiene, and finding places to sleep. It could be a problem if his battery died, and had to pause whatever work he was doing to recharge. He might not have given as good first impressions if he looked dirty and ragged (such as when getting the $40/month workspace). He might have have just... become overwhelmed with stress, suffering from the cold and weather, only making it difficult to focus on work. Like Pyro said, it's not like he should SUFFER, but unfortunately, suffering is what many homeless are trapped with... and Mike always had the option to 'tap out' once he got hit by bad luck. Granted, said bad luck was a health issue, but again homeless don't have the luxury to address that.
@@EthanHarmony-mu1li imagine being homeless lol cringe gay L
One thing important to realize abt Mike is that he already had health care before being homeless, eliminating that cost, along with business classes that he already took to start his first bonus which most homeless ppl won’t have.
no
I know this is very off-topic but thank you for posting a comment that's actually related to the video and not another dumbass unfunny and overdone joke like most of the comments on this channel 🙏🙏🙏
@@user-xh8df9oz4y i was just about to say this, you stole my line!! i need more comments w substance!
uhm healthcare is free in europe
@@user-xh8df9oz4y how much is the inflater paying you
There is NO way he was picked up like that and offered food and shelter without being recognized. Zero chance.
nah people are just nice. thought i think what make it posiible is that he looks clean. comparing to other homeles people
@@Chronor so in general the odds of this happening are miniscule, the odds of this happening the 1st night someone is homeless significantly less than miniscule.
The best case scenario in terms of that being genuine is he told him he was doing a youtube challenge and then the guy offered. Which most homeless can't do.
Also take if from someone that was homeless, don't let strangers who need money sleep in your home. It's a safety thing. There are way safer ways to help someone. $50 bucks gets a motel room. ✌️
@@Chronordefinitely because he's clean, mfs don't trust homeless people, dude looked like he just walked out of an office
@@Chronor he does not have the instincts or street knowledge to actually pull this off truly impoverished. does he even meet the locals? even if it is real, his integrity was taxed for taking the offer on the first night without the foresight that it would look suspect. the most credible thing he could have done after getting that autoimmune disease was to sit out in the rain and soak in it.
your idea of the poor is completely absent of what actually leaves people in destitution, and only conceptually that "you have no capital". that doesn't work. this isn't meant to infantilize them either - but many "average" folk have a support system that prevents them from being homeless in the first place. you don't half-ass vagrancy.
He looks nice. He doesn't look messed up. That's why he'd be offered help while actual homeless people wouldn't.
The funny part is he still utilized a lot of what he had before. His social media with millions of followers, he gave public talks because of his background.
He was essentially doing homeless on easy mode and even then got destroyed.
Yeah. When you are out in the backcountry of the desert living in a broken yurt under 120 degree heat, it's a hell of a lot harder without friends, money, and a fridge with solar power.
Not to mention all the knowledge he had before hand on possible ways to make money that the avg homeless person doesn't even know
@@amergingilesliving in the Mojave wasteland almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter...
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 When I got this assignment I was hoping there'd be more gambling.
@@amergingiles Honestly it's not much better being homeless in the middle of a city in the desert during the summer. Like yeah it's definitely better because you are much closer to resources if and when they are available for the homeless, but walking around in 100+ degree weather without proper access to water is basically a death sentence. We get lots of heat stroke victims that are trying to make their way to shelters, or to the parks with good water fountains. Hell, we get lots of heat stroke victims period, regardless of status.
Pro tip: Respect the desert the way sailors respect the Ocean. It can and will chew you up and spit you out faster than you thought possible.
Pyro's hair actually looks good when he's not running the 1400's peasant cut.
lowkey
Goddam i laughed too hard at this
His haircut would vaporize a victorian child
This is the worst trim i ever seen on pyro no cap.

-not in debt
-not severely mentally/physically ill
-not laid off/escaping abuse
So most of the reason people end up homeless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Chronorhe also used his solid gold resume and credit to secure housing, employees, and a headquarters on top of his existing contacts and experiences giving him more insight on what will sell well.
@@Chronor I wanna see you out on the street with nothing but your clothes and a severe depression. Let's see how your motivation to start a business holds up then. No actually I don't want you to go homeless, because no one deserves this, but being in that situation for a day might change your opinion...
Real
@@Chronor When you get bankrupt from medical bill, you wont be able to even get a phone plan nor a phone. When normal people go homeless, they desperately try to fix their current situation without forming an elaborate plan how to come out of being homeless 2 months prior that happens. After you realise how deep you are, you end up under a bridge in a cardboard box smelling awful, roaming and looking for scraps to eat. Getting that 1000$ Iphone and lucky to hog a free wifi from a mall before they kick you out is pretty far from your options at that point.
This dude got instantly picked up by someone giving him a home and food. He also already had a phone. He wasn't homeless for even 24 hours.
@Chronor physical handicaps are real btw, someone who's wheelchair bound, missing and arm or even just experiencing chronic pain might just straight up not have any options to go pick any items up or ship them somewhere else. In terms of mental illnesses there's literally a never ending sea of conditions that might inhibit someone's ability to do precisely what you described and if they push themselves to do it consistently despite it causing them severe stress it might worsen their condition. If you seriously can't imagine these things being that much of an issue that's "more of a you problem" as in you or your relatives are probably not affected by anything serious enough and you haven't been able to see that aspect of life.
A homeless man with a vlogging camera actively filming a vlog is a lot more approachable than someone who has been homeless for years. Assuming it's not entirely fake anyway lol
getting multiple delivery guys for your craigslist flipping "business" is mighty sus as well
“Hey guys, I’m going to show that anyone can get themselves off the streets with enough determination, oh, what’s this, free housing in the form of an RV on my first day of being homeless?”
@@none62092When I was homeless I was offered temporary housing quite often, but it was usually just for a couple nights at most lol. Longest I got to stay somewhere was 2 weeks (it was a really nice empty cabin though so I cant complain, it was almost like having my own place for 2 weeks)
now i wonder if this "challange" would be done with an actual homeless in person -- the millionaire being their coach on their back like its some sort of e-sports or something
Something that I just realized, unless this dude committed a felony and illegally acquired false ID documents for a youtube challenge, all of the forms he would've had to do in order to get the office and the like would've been signed with his real name and millionaire credit history. There is absolutely not a snowball's chance in hell a fully equipped modern office space would be renting out to a guy with zero ID or credit for $40 per month, it's utter fantasy
another thing that pyro doesn't talk about in this video is the guy had another side hustle where he rented out like a 4 bedroom apartment and subleased it to 3 other people and collected on their rent. He had no credit or money so he "found" some random guy to loan him the money he needed upfront and co-sign the lease for him. On top of that he "found" a random landlord that would rent to a guy with no income, no credit, no money, a co-signer he doesn't even know, and on top of all that is allowing him to sublet each room to tenants he won't ever meet or know about. I've lived in 9 different states, there ain''t a snowballs chance in hell that would just randomly happen lol. utter fantasy.
@@adidab14 Wait, so the "homeless" guy was a landlord during? Absolute clownshow.
@@adidab14 the thing is that he probably had the credit , the guy said that he "drained his bank account" so he had credit from his past purchases , not only he had a an id ,which some thing that some homeless people don't have,but that id is connected to his credit score and the fact that he is a millionaire. And he still failed
Shared working spaces are cheap to rent and require 0 documents. It's not fantasy, you just don't know shit.
@@adidab14 Oh my god that really does add a whole new layer lmfao, dude absolutely cheated his entire ass off and still couldn't even come CLOSE to succeeding at this cruelhearted challenge
The fact he had to cheat say a lot. Also “life happening” stopping him from do the challenge shows why anyone cant make it, when life got hard he could retreat to wealth.
When "life happening" isn't part of the challenge rofl these people are so out of touch.
@@mannyjohnson8383 not sure if i understand the point of your comment.
Plus he should have take the medical bills out of his total 12 months earnings cos, well you know, that is what normal people have to do 🤪 He would have ended up with negative money by the end of the 12 months (again, just like what happens to normal people when they get sick)!
Honestly I kinda don't respect him for 'cancelling' the challenge because of his own and his dad's health concerns. Do actual homeless people not have dads, and not get health issues because of stress? He just failed. If you wanna prove that being homeless is peoples own fault then you better see it through propperly. You don't get to go "okay this thing happened that i didnt see coming, so that doesnt count".
True
I mean, obviously he was correct to stop, but if he still can't change his narrative at all that's incredibly disingenuous of him.
Exactly, like yeah he should go see his dad, but then he should change the video to him learning that being homeless wasnt as easy as he thought and admit that luck plays a big role in success.
Nobody wants your respect you are irrelevant
i think you're using the wrong word. "respect" is a no words agreement between men and in this context it does no wrong
however, it is also not impossible for a buddy under respect to be on the other side of opinions, differing yours. at the very least it is called as 'disagreement with respect'
the very same reason men call to wars, not to pour evil on the other side, but to protect those who shelter at homes
Watching this at the library because im homeless -_- turns out i shoulda been buying gold and property this whole time instead of needing an organ transplant. Who would have guessed
that sucks hope u get better soon!!
No way he "found" an office space WITH EQUIPMENT for 40 bux a month...
I am glad to hear our lad stays humble 🤝
Damn i could afford to live there
It's also funny that the method he used to set himself as an example that anyone can become a millionaire wasn't something that was actually productive or useful for society but rather leeches off of it instead.
🤯🤯🤯 so how people with no skills can usually go by?!
Reselling isn't leeching, it's just connecting buyers with stuff they want. It's not comparable to scalping, I don't know why Pyro lumped them in together. I guess he's just a consoomer who's upset he couldn't get his latest collectors items at label price.
@@peacemaster8117 "its not leeching" just like scalping and a lot of other things, reselling adds no value to the product
@@peacemaster8117 Real, + his speech how his success was cuz of luck really was like "Bro.. what?" As if he isn't making one of the highest quality game reviews in youtube currently.. or had a very nice and funny humor which has always been the meta
@@AgarthanWarrior88 As the commenter above you said “just like scalping and a lot of other things, reselling adds no value to a product.” It’s leeching no matter what way you cut it.
Also, to act like luck doesn’t play a part in someone’s success just because they’re good at what they do is absurd. If that was how things work, then there wouldn’t be so many “hidden gems” out there since they’d be lifted into prominence by their sheer merit. It’s simply a fact that there are many factors to success that creators just can’t control.
There’s this late CZcamsr I really loved, Technoblade. Something he said that really stuck with me was that it takes skill to turn opportunities into outcomes, however, he also said that opportunities are created by luck. What I’m trying to say is, don’t sell yourself short as it was you that turned your good fortune into tangible results, but on the other hand, be careful not to oversell the worth of your efforts either, as after all, there were many fortunes along the way, big and small, that brought you into a position where you can use your skills to achieve success.
To use Pyro as an example, he makes no secret that he developed his style based on people he watches. Obviously, he didn’t plan to become part of their audience and be inspired by them. He was simply lucky that he happened to find their content one day in his recommended or whatever.
The main thing is that most people that don't realize, is that most homeless people don't know if they are going to make it , there are homeless people in the streets that suffered for years because of mental illness/addiction/or a physical disability that induse a state of depression/anxiety. His "experiment is ultimately flawed because at any moment he can just go back to his old life . Not to mention that the moment that something happened to him (thw fact that his dad got cancer ) he started to break down both physically and mentally.
Homie had the option to move closer to his dad following the diagnosis. How many homeless only find out their remaining relatives are dead long after there was even a window to be there for them?
@@kylegonewild yah he got to experience homeless in the most soft and easy way possible and he still failed
Another problem that i don't think anyone points out about making money while homeless is the fact that you cannot take care of yourself at all. I highly doubt you can find work at even the lowest levels of customer service if you haven't taken a shower or worn clean clothes in months, not even mentioning your deteriorating mental state due to not having a safe or quiet place to sleep or good food to eat
I hate these: "Anyone can be a millionaire" people, even the laws themselves are stacked against you when you're homeless or poor.
A homeless person could win the lottery, the most 1 in a million chance thing there is, and lose most of it in income tax.
One in a million is generous
that wasn't the point of the original challenge though, pyrocynical and the original twitter thread poster are distorting that the initial purpose was to prove that it is possible in order to motivate failing businesses during the pandemic
granted you can't go from homeless to millionaire, but surely it's possible to go from homeless to someone with a stable career.
@@zakarkgaming9530 I'm going to take your comment at face value and assume it's not a troll but I fail to see how any of this is motivational when it comes off as condescending against people who are homeless. If I was a homeless person and saw this video I'd break down in tears if I didn't have a single support network helping me. Meanwhile this guy, on his first night, has had a person offer them a bed and hot food without expecting anything in return (If we take the video at face value) and then has the gall to complain about the space of the RV he was 'living in'.
Whatever his intentions were are easily overshadowed by the main basis of this being: 'Proving you can just being homeless if you work hard'
@@zakarkgaming9530I watched the original video. It wasn’t about that at all.
ive been homeless/couch surfing for the last few months and having a pyro video to watch almost every evening is one of the only things keeping me somewhat sane
I hope things get better for you soon. stay strong homie

Homeless ppl don't have the plan B, and what I mean by it is. If their "business plan" fails, they can't just go home, continue with their current successful business and just move on and continue with their lives.
Most of them are fighting to survive, or are abusing substances, if it was so easy to became a millionaire, everyone would be one, or at least, more than 20% of the population iirc.
Yes, u need a plan and persistence, but, without luck or nepotism. It's almost impossible to become a millionaire yourself.
Definitely the 1st day made a massive difference (assuming it wasn't staged completely).
A big problem homeless people face is, unironically, not having a home (or specifically shelter). This creates a situation of prolonged sleep deprivation which in turn effects your ability to concentrate, decision making, basically any mental capacity.
If Mike had been stuck sleeping on benches for like 3+ days everything would've gone way way way worse for him. Even in a homeless shelter you get kicked out early and you have to worry about people robbing you or attacking you. Having his own RV let's him sleep in if he wants (though he doesn't strike me as someone who sleeps in) gives him an all day base of operations, let's him store his stuff. All of these things homeless people do not have.
Another issue with flipping ecommerce merchandise also stems from this core "lack of shelter" issue where homeless people are often subjected to "sweeps" in which ALL of their property is taken away from them and usually destroyed. So imagine getting all this free inventory and posting it online and then you lose it all to a random sweep.
Finally of course getting phones and internet. If you get a phone how do you charge it, how do you get service, is it even something from this decade? etc... etc...
The irony of this is the 1 thing he wasn't was homeless apart from maybe 16 hours on the 1st day.
The phone is actually one of the easiest things for a homeless individual to get ahold of for use but a phone by itself does not pick up and deliver couches or drive your ass to a job interview.
@@kylegonewild
This is a common myth.
While technically many homeless people can get phones, a lot of them have no service or are prepaid phones with no data and a limited number of minutes. Not to mention the challenges of charging them when any time you plug it in you get kicked out or told to leave.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that homeless people all have the drive and work ethic that they require to recover from their situation. Many do not and many are guilty of exactly what you describe.
But perpetuating misinformation is not helpful to the ones that do have the drive and work ethic but are hamstrung by society and their situation.
You could just go to a place with free WiFi @@ian59
How did he even start off with the scalping? He didnt have a car to pickup or deliver the items he brought, then he suddenly hires multiple people?
Another thing I hate about this challenge is that it is risked base, anyone can take out a loan and attempt to create a company, if it fails for him, oh well, project failed, if it fails for a normal person, anyone dependent on them is going to struggle and it will likely lead to repossession or homelessness.
well theres alot of free stuff u can resell
@@Chronor wipe your mouth when youre done
@@Chronor You have to transport the goods. How are you doing that?
if your homeless your probably already in debt
@@Chronordoesn't answer the question. Methinks bait.

Height of Covid????
@@protosopic6398 The experiment happened back in 2020, he even said so in the vid
During Ludwig's experiment he leaked the video on the experiment channel basically ruining the entire experiment.
Haven’t seen the original but I saw in another video that he apparently snuck into another creator’s stream, the very creator he was catering his very first video to, and circumstantially got reacted to live. What a highly adoptable way for **anyone** to build a million subscriber CZcams channel.
So if anything, he proved the opposite, that not 'anyone' can achieve something like this. Unfortunate circumstances, which can happen to anyone, has prevented him from going forward despite his pre-obtained skills. Imagine if you're ACTUALLY homeless, have tumors in your body, AND just learned that your dad has cancer. Yeah, not a chance in hell.
pyro, important fact about that Ludwig video: he revealed his "secret channels" name along with the whole idea on his podcast a day before releasing it to the public on his main channel. In fortnite terms its like playing zero build but with 5 porta fortresses
also he paid youtubers to mention
thank you for the fortnite explanation

2004 ahh hair.
I hate his project so much, and I do not believe it for a second that he found somebody who just let him stay for free, that he got that job without an address, and that he found some random dude who just co-signed a property for him. All while being fully paid for healthcare across the entire experiment, having 0 debt and planning to sleep in the office instead of outside initially, because he couldn't stomach actually being homeless. What this experiment proved is he was helpless before somebody gave him everything he needed.
Words cannot express how much I hated that video. The best though is after he quit, as if anyone can just do that, he spent 254k to make 64k gross revenue, which means if a regular person did what he did, they'd be $186,000 in debt.
So he set out to make $1,000,000 and made about $65,000. If monthly revenue was about $10k a month we can bump that to about like $90,000 for the year. So basically he went out to make 1 million in a year to prove anyone can do it, then even with all his advantages and previous knowledge, made less than %10 of what his goal was. Hope he learned something that not everyone can just become a millionaire :^)
Becoming a millionaire from scratch isn't a one year endeavor. The fact that he got to 65k in just a year is already far better than most people. If he kept this up, he'd have gone there eventually.
64k is gross income, after expenses he was making an average of 3.2k a month.
@@glens2019 After expenses he made 32k (from coffeezilla's alt channel), which is the equivalent of 15k an hour. That isn't impressive when you remember he had "random people" loan him an RV and a car for free (as if) and a random dude co-signed a property for him, which just proves this is BS.
@@glens2019 he already had better starting conditions than everyone else lol. he just skipped over the phase of begging for starting capital and got everything handed from a (supposedly) random dude, including free food, shelter, and a driver for his new scalping business, also the loan for an office (super unrealistic for any homeless person). Take all that away and lets see how he fairs from a real homeless start on the streets with almost no actual help despite some begged change money. his project essentially proved nothing, if it even proved something, then its that you need MASSIVE help that almost no homeless person gets, only to make as much as a normal paying job. (also including a previous college degree, and business insights, as well as very good credentials and being sober+cleaned right from the start).
I was homeless for just half a year and it was hell, what this guy went through is rainbows and fantasies
I’m currently homeless. Not by choice. This was a great vid but it just doesn’t work like that. A lot of people have assets with them going into being homeless. If ALL I had was my necessities then I could go anywhere. But I don’t feel comfortable begging for money so I had to get a job at really low pay just so I could eat. I also have a dog and we live in my car. The depression is real out here and I really don’t know if I’ll make it out because even with a low paying job at 60 hours a week, I’m unable to afford to pay rent. But my dog is safe so I can find some peace in that. And nobody gives away free stuff where I’m from. But I’m tryin
Best of luck to you man. Stay strong
Then how u commenting Liar
This too shall pass. While being fortunate enough to have never been homeless, I know what extreme poverty feels like. It built my character like nothing.
He should try to do it again but now with amnesia,mental illness, and no phone and no support I wonder how well he’ll do now?
He even acknowledged that luck played a role in his challenge - bad luck. Not only did he fail, but he disproved the point he was trying to make.
If some "random" good samaritan didn't pick him up off the street he'd have spent the whole challenge in a drain pipe or under a bridge. The bad luck was probably the only genuine act of luck in this endeavour and it immediately tanked the project.
I have a friend, who used to be homeless for 1 and a half year.
He was send to jail, got released when he was 18. but got addicted to substances.
When he was released, he spend a year with a house, and still had his phone for the years he was homeless.
You CAN own a phone. Many homeless people DO own a phone. So that argument "You cant be homeless if you have a phone"
The stigma, is that homeless people sell their belongings for substances. But not always. Its called HOMEless, not PHONEless.
He used his phone to find work, and charged it in libraries. And spend his nights under a bridge where theres heated tubes to keep the roads from freezing.
at most this guy proved someone with a lot of know-how and experience can make an above average income in a year, and when there's actually some life changing events that hinder him, his dad's cancer and his own health, he calls it quit, he buckles under the stress, that should be like an eye opening moment to think about the issues the average homeless person is also going through that hinder them, which are also probably the reasons they are homeless, unlike him who started this as a fun challenge with none of that baggage
this is type of stuff just makes people feel fine about the current state of the world, if you can think anyone can make it then the system isn't broken, that mcdonalds employee can become a millionaire, that street sweeper too, and that plumber too, even though nothing would work if that really happened
You forgot the bit where random people gave him an RV, a car and a property. That's not a joke.
A good takeway from this is that the majority of homeless people aren't just regular people on hard times. They almost always have some underlying mental health, education, or social issues which need to be resolved for them to function properly.
(Not a furry, an IT guy tho). The reason to why a lot of furries tend to work on It is most likely the same reason why non furries do so, pretty good amount of money while no need to social interact more than most other jobs, as a consequence you can just go auto pilot for the needed social interactions and online meetings while also coding/performing maintenence with no physical or psychological stress and then waste all your money at the end of the year (Hence why they are able to buy 80 thousand dollar fur suits and pay more than 10 thousand for fanarts)
yo i need some furry friends to spoil me up
It's because IT is a job for autistic people and most furries have autism
Also the demographics in that field are more likely to even know how 2 be a furry compared to some kid from the hood

Even if we assume this guy could actually become a millionaire again from nothing, he didn't account from the myriad of other ways in which homeless people are disadvantaged. Many homeless people are in debt, disabled, mentally or physically ill and/or are uneducated. Many also turn to substance abuse to cope with their situation. It's the things that we take for granted that we don't have to deal with that homeless people have to handle.
Anyone can be a millionaire. Just work hard and you'll be a millionaire in no time.
Give or take a few hundred or thousand years depending on expendable income.
jews say otherwise
Can you be more dumb
this project is more like "i went bankrupt and need to build myself back. it's not the actual homeless experience. even people who are broke and make tooth fairy pennies, need to find the time to make a side hustle. you need money to make money, most homeless people won't have phones or friends, and a lot of them are due to lay offs, mental issues, or they've been raised in that environment and never taught properly. no millionaire can simulate being homeless.
Unfortunately for the actually homeless, even if they have family they don't really get to just move back to take care of them or be with them. They don't get to go through any of this knowing they can just throw their hands up, say "I'm done I'll go back to being wealthy now" and wipe their hands of the inconvenience.
I like how if he went thru with the challenge it literally would have killed him but people still think being homeless is a choice.
It kinda is though, the amount of government assistance programs and work programs is endless

Just a quick point, the government does have programs to give out phones to the less fortunate. I worked with mobile phone companies for years (1st and 2nd rate ones) and we gave out these government phones often, or had programs that worked with the government to give out free phones with free signal.
I was homeless and living on the streets for a year or so. Every single homeless person I interacted with for that entire year had a phone. After that I lived in 2 different homeless shelters for a few years and, what do you know, every single person in both of the homeless shelters I lived in had a phone.
this is still pretty anecdotal. I know about as many homeless people with phones than I know without. Phones are not a given.
@@reksraven6909 it is anecdotal. I never meant it to be anything different.

millionaire proves that you don't need luck to earn millions, by being lucky multiple times in a row
When I was homeless yes some people were nice and tried to help but 99% of the time your judged and and even get cops called on you unless your constantly moving. Even trying to get a job was hard if you gave any hint of being homeless or if they already know your fucked no job.
He severely underestimates how much a knowledge economy costs. To learn skills it takes time, and time costs money. Many homeless people can come from poor backgrounds, abusive families, low quality education, etc. the tech literacy or even basic economic literacy isn't even there in the first place. It takes time to figure out how e-commerce works, months of navigating different markets and websites, how prices and trends work, negotiating and getting a grasp on buyer behavior, or even basic social skills that your background didn't afford them to give, and they don't have the leisure to make the mistakes that it comes with learning a skill (especially a financial one they might be relying on, they can't afford to drop 50$ on something to flip/markup that might never get bought), a process that can months to even get to the basics of maximizing. many homeless people are in and out of employment, but many of these jobs are low paying and they have to spend what money they get on basic necessities first, they spend most of there timing worrying about food and sleep first and foremost, assuming they aren't being constantly berated by mental illnesses, financial debt, or have develop drug issues, hell they could not even have basic identification.
The issue isn't even if anyone _could_ be a millionaire. They can't, but even if they could it doesn't mean much because _everyone_ cannot be a millionaire; not even _most_ people. Not even 20% of people. There is a limited number of money to go around. The more people that are hunting for money the harder it gets. The harder it gets the more ruthless and unscrupulous people act to get money. This is why greed is a bad thing. We literally cannot all be rich and that desire _necessarily_ ruins society.
Its not limited money its how wolrd and human nature works. If everybody would be or most millionaires somehow how system would work, who would clean shit and garbage that people make, who would work in mines, who would produce food, gas, electricity... How can you make a lot of money if most people are millionaires and not having enough workforce except everybody making or have same salary, but that's not possible obviously😮
Funny you say that because you have a tighter understanding on money than the current government has with its money printing machines.

5:04 Pyro, when tasked with describing "a person walking down the street":
Speaking of Insta comments/replies. I saw some cat video and one of the top comments being racist and the FIRST reply was "Fuck off. Go melt cheese, step in it and let me clean it off". Even the racist broke character to go "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING DAWG??!"
Insta replies are insane
Mike is also a middle aged white man. That not only gives him a social advantage that people will be more willing to help or employ him, but he also will feel more comfortable accepting help given to him by total strangers, because there a much more minimal risk that person may have alterior motives. The office unit also seems crazy to me, you can't even get a 10x10ft storage unit for that cheap.
Dude why didn't I ever think of it? I can literally just choose to stop being broke! Thank you to the bloke that tried the challenge and thanks to you pyro for opening my eyes. I am no longer a filthy peasant
starting with a smartphone with unlimited internet access is not being from zero. if he started with a cell phone with just a simple sim card for 5$ maybe id be more valid
Pyro explaining what a business is for 15 minutes of the video
Starting the challenge with an open bank account is already a massive head start. In most places you need a legal address to get ID to open a bank account and start businesses that pay the money into said accounts.
You need that where he was too if I remember right. I don't believe that he ever addressed that.
He just doesn't need to eat guys, that's the billionare meta
Imma be honest, the real goal when you're homeless is to not be homeless, so he did pretty well, just that the goal of 1 million is too large, you'd need astronomical luck to get there in 12 months.
He only did well at proving he needed somebody to give him a home.
I'm not making a dig at homeless people, there are more homes than homeless, and that's BS since it's already been studied and proven it's cheaper to just give the homeless those homes than keep them on the street.

I make 500k a year. Mind you I have no children and zero debt. I have a six figure portfolio (Stocks, crypto crowdfunding real estate, savings, and CD's) it wasn't easy. I hustled, saved, and invested my money. I always tell people "Money can't fix stupid"
I agree that there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience.
That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started. What are the strategies?
Investing in crypto/forex is a good idea, a good trading system would put you through many days of success.
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION SLOPSCRIBERS PYRO (you beat the fall off alligations)
shit like this is just a humble-brag, i work my ass off and make give or take around half what this dude made in a year being "homeless". bro had so much shit going into this that most people wouldnt have if they worked for years
The main reason I think this experiment doesn't work and it will never work it's because the subjects have the ability to quit, he had the ability to quit when his father got sick (which is totally understandable), he had the ability to quit when he himself got sick. Homeless people can't just stop beign homeless whenever they get sick, or when life strucks them down, they remain homeless, the whole point is that they don't have a safety net when things don't work out.
I like how he's authentic and never paid a single cent in taxes after slapping a 'company' together
I was shocked that pyrogyattical went all the way to Sweden for a rug then remembered it’s like 20 minutes away for e*ropeans
I prefer this over the pure slop, keep up the good work (pay your editors)
also a big part of him even succeeding is because hes well dressed and clean cut, grow a beard, wear older clothes, and grow out the hair a little then try again getting ANY attention from someone and theyll call the cops instead. they did an actual test with this where they showed the difference in how strangers treat nicely dressed versus not being nicely dressed and i can tell you right now the only reason at all that guy let him stay in the rv is because he was dressed well. and yes having clean clothes or even clean looking nice clothes is a LUXURY for the homeless
I'm pretty sure the reason the guy let him stay in the RV (he contacted him through text) and loaned him his car for nothing (after giving him the RV) is because this is faked.
I like his genuine response on not everybody is gonna be successful. It requires the right time at the right place on which when we gonna reached that level of success.

The sheer difference in mental state between a person who genuinely has nothing and a person playing a game where they pretend with a safety net is massive, this seems to be a factor that has been glossed over. (His dad’s situation seems incredibly testing and difficult, though let’s not forget people with genuinely nothing face challenges equally and almost certainly more difficult)

pyro got the fred haircut
The fact he developed health problems due to all the stress he was under and didn't seem to think for a second that every other person going through this experience might face the same thing...except without the millionaire health plan to fall back on.
there is more types of poverty than just financial. Alot of homeless people are in what I call emotional poverty. The abuse they experienced as a child and adolescent made functioning as an adult harder which typically leads to more trauma.
Pyro went broke from all the commissions he got. Rest in pepperoni
Only thing I can point out is homeless people have phones in the states because 🦅🇺🇸AMERICA💥🧨🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅SCREEEEEECH
fun content! great takes, subbed and gonna watch anything more you make, also i love your voice!
I gave a homeless guy food and money a while ago, and despite being ecstatic he ended up mentioning that almost never he gets even a penny from people because society believes that homeless people have nothing preventing them from working, therefore they can stop mooching off people.
For shit like this, the point he is trying to make is the most hypocritical and ruthless shit, because if he actually wanted to prove a point then he'd not have brought his phone and didn't accept help from anyone unless perhaps it's pocket change.

Scalping and up selling is not the same thing. Scalping is market manipulation, emptying a stock of an item, increasing its demand and forcing its value to go higher on your liking, then start selling the product on the price of your choice.
Up selling is usually buying stuff in very low prices and selling them at around their market value (sometimes lower sometimes slightly higher), but you don't manipulate the price of the product as a whole and you are not scamming people off, you just spend time to find a good deal and sell it properly. A lot of the time you also buy faulty products or simply dirty ones and you charge additional ones for cleaning them up or fixing them.
except your usually not going to be able to upsell a common item, so you look for the rare ones you can charge the most on, then sell it for as much as possible. and that dude wasn't upselling the fuck is he gonna do to upgrade or fix stuff while he's on the streets?
@@goopguy548 When you have no buck in your name, the rare stuff are not at your reach to begin with, speaking from experience. The best example I can give is you buy an old refrigerator from someone that mostly cares about getting rid of the refrigerator from his house rather than selling it and you sell it for something stupid like 50€, this example is actually a common thing homeless people do in my area.
Also a lot of people are looking for reasons to buy new stuff and in many cases they throw devices that are barely damaged. Again the best example I can give is the common bedroom lights. 90% of the disposed "broken" bedroom lamps are just having their contacts disconnected, just by opening the shell you can fix it with nothing but your hands and your nails (which by the way is a common reason why some homeless people leave one big nail, to use it as a screwdriver). These bedroom lamps are thrown by the ton in urban areas and you can sell them for 5€.
If you use all of the above knowledge on the marketplace you instantly enter to a whole new budget level. From 5€ lamps and 50€ of decades old refrigerator now you can start picking up stuff that can either have a chance to have an easy fix or at least they have a lot of salvagable materials (usually bronze or other metals).
Personally i used to buy cases of vinyl at a fixed price (without bargaining in any way) pick up the popular albums like Madonna and Michael Jackson and sell them individually for 10€ (which is actually a very low price for a decent vinyl) then sell the less popular ones for 1-2€. That takes a ton of time though.
What did he do to improve the couch that was literally being given away for free? What he demonstrated is tantamount to dumpster diving then selling the trash at a markup.
@@kylegonewild I don't see where I'd the scum in this case. He picked up a couch for free and he sold it for a normal price of that quality. This is actually a common thing homeless people do all over the world. In the Balkans people leave their trash that may have some value outside of their houses for homeless people to pick up. In Germany they do the same but at a specific point of the street for every house of the block. Something similar I saw in Malaysia.
As long as the dude is not trying to sell the used couch for some kind of rare antique or he doesn't buy up every single used couch and manipulate the prices of second hand couches, I can't see anything scummy.
I'd argue that most of you have no idea how homeless people survive in reality, the only change here is that he uses a marketplace (which I think some actually do nowadays).
@@gaarakabuto1 just FYI, collecting trash and selling it is illegal in Germany. I know alot of homeless people do it, but its actually forbidden by law to jsut collect trash of strangers. So, looking at its legality, it actually is scummy. ( i personally wouldnt mind it, its a dumb law)
As a homeless person with a degree in diesel engine repair, I can say with certainty it is really all about your connections, that's of which I have 0 of. Can't even begin to describe the struggle I've been through trying to find employment even at entry level positions without having anyone by my side to back me up as a reference, or a referral, people just see that I'm 19 assume I'm lying and move on. What a cold world
If you can scrape together a few hundred you can buy a windshield repair kit and walk around finding people with chipped windshields and offer to repair them for $30 to $60 a pop. This is a great way to make fast money. And most people don't know about it.
It's easy and fast. And most people will want it done so that they won't need a full replacement when the chip spreads.
Just a suggestion. I know it's not easy to just plop down a few hundred to get started.
It worked for me after years of living on the street.

When reading the “asset flip” Reddit post, the entire conversation was filtered and generalized to “fuck bootstrap mentality”, he had too many ‘conveniences’ and the challenge wasn’t even close to realistic, and “must be nice being able to quit being poor.”
