I bet his mom would be sad to know he grew up to be a bum. he sees himself as a victim, and there for he doesn't have to go to work or get up early or pay the bills and .. no he just wants the protection of the cops food stamps welfare, and what ever he can get to avoid being the nobody he is.

      Yes, its true most of account executives, junior and regular executives get big bonuses they do not want someone who really understand the information. For example, they used to ban ethical appraisers with no disciplinary actions meaning from their regulatory agency while hinting clients to use ones that had some. Same thing with tax preparers and/or other misrepresentation. Ones that would finesse the numbers so it would get it approved stays.
      See there is no commission coming in if the deal was denied and/or a price hit the problem is that from a risk perspective sometimes companies go down because of this and/or have to do some complex synthetic CDOs swaps to get the assets 'off' their balance sheet.
      Sad just show how for-profit bonuses can destroy a company without understanding the controls and/or the business details. Most of the executives I know do know about human error meaning intentional errors at the smaller scale is more about speed and bonus rather than quality at quota.

    Managing your money in your early years is important. People often want to rush out and start living it up, or sharing with everybody. Nothing wrong with sharing, but also have plans for your future at the same time. Try and buy a house and pay it off as soon at you can. That was what I did. I had three jobs at one time, and was barely getting any sleep. And I did any type of job I could find. I manage to pay off my mortgage in less than six years. After that, life got a lot easier, and no fear of losing my home, or becoming homeless. Those six years were hell. But well worth it. Now I just pay HOA fees and utilities each month.

      Well bankruptcy is built into our monetary system as the shaky foundation on which a lot of "free market" control mechanisms have been put into action, e.g OPEC, WTO and many of the post 1980's deals ending in FTA. I hope that in a thousand years, humanity will look back on our time as the socio-economic dark age that it is.
      The church is IMF + World and central banks, the gospel is liberty and individuality and the end result is an economy so narrowly controlled and passed through so few conglomerates it supersedes Stalin's wettest dreams. My point is that guys like this are inevitable in our current society. He is a systemic outcome yet people are trained to point at him and kick downwards, usually by treating the onset of abuse as the cause of the misery, strapping the horse behind the carriage.

    I am an accountant. I'm currently 25 yrs old. I used to be depressed. I overcame depression in 2019. I was depressed for 7 years from 2012 to 2019. It started when my father died. The only person i had. So that shattered me. I lost my motivation to live. I fucked up my studies.i used to be an excellent student. But i graduated anyway. Then i fucked up my jobs as well. Because i didn't see the point of living. My worst year was 2018. I almost killed myself. I STOPPED working for 1 year because depression consumed me. I gave up. I used to watch this videos from mark while i was depressed. So i thought that if i don't kill myself, i will end up like them. So i'd rather kill myself. But thankfully,i overcame depression. Because of these videos from mark, i learned that i have to be kinder to homeless people and try to help them as much as possible. Before, these videos used to make me feel sorry for myself, but now i use this as motivation to become better and as a reminder that we are one bad day away from becoming like them so we should be kind to them and help them.

      Could be completely wrong, but basing the comment on what comes across in the video. Even he mentions being fired multiple times, and homeless a few times.
      So just an opinion, nothing more, or less
      The guy comes across, as somewhat coherent, and communicates well.
      Dude is capable of working, whether pushing a broom, or flipping burgers, I doubt he'd be able to find a job as an accountant off the get.
      And, to add to it, doesn't appear he is suffering too much
      Yeah, probably a hard life etc.. and would take some time and energy and focus to get back up and running, but yeah, based on this 10 minutes, doesn't seem like he would want to.
      Hes grown accustomed to this lifestyle. Its what he knows, and is comfortable in it.

      From my experience as an accountant, In any company the accountants salaries are always the lowest. If you get fired for any reason then you will never get a job, the first thing employers think about you is that you got fired because you stole some money. Currently, everything is computerized, you can find many accounting systems that can do anything, booking, generating financial statements, calculating and paying taxes & doing financial analysis. So you can get anyone to do accounting job because it's just a data entry job.

And you have to take into account all the studying and the efforts needed to get such certifications. Finally, any accounting job is a risky job a small mistake and you will be behind bars.
