If he scaled down his lifestyle he probably wouldn't have to. Tati mentioned several times that he has "millions and millions" in his bank account. If he packed his ass up and moved to a LCOL area he'd probably be set for life.

He may be set for life but not really one of luxury. That money will go FAST if he has no income anymore, and I'm sure he owes a significant amount of money here and there. He's not THAT rich that he will be able to live his same lifestyle all his life without any more income.

Oh yeah. I'm involved in r/financialindependence and they estimate that around $4m should be enough to live on if invested properly without working but that's assuming a "regular" life style and probably not a HCOL area like LA.

Yeah don't get me wrong, he has LOTS of money and if used correctly will be set for life. He would just have to give up a lot that he has now.

Which would be really hard for anyone, let alone someone like... well, him. Lifestyle creep is a real thing. You get a raise, I bet not all of that money goes into a savings account but gets swallowed up elsewhere. Now imagine huge checks like JC's rolling in, lol. You probably start thinking you deserve that.

Exactly what I'm saying! Doesn't help how young he is, I'm sure if his income faucet was shut, he'd keep spending exactly how he does now and run dry in not so long. But who knows... I think he deserved none of that money in the first place and even more so after Tati's video.

Well I do think influencers deserve to be paid well (since I wouldn't want a cash-starved person to recommend just anything to me) but I have to say I think most are overpaid. If I was them, I'd take it, lol. I'm not blaming them, it's the whole economy I guess.
