Because he's about 40, no one is willing to pay him that amount
not even half of it. He basically had 0 experience besides
doing sales.

So now, end up with a 3k plus month job.

family of 4 to feed, sold house, sold car, wife suck thumb got to start
working because previously $12k comfortable enough for all.
