Insurance is the biggest scam, Normand is a genius.

How… did he fly with no ID? He was able to get a passport, but not a driver's license?

A 40 year old guy with a family has no health insurance, no car insurance, no reliable car … but turns around and spends probably around $20,000 on hair transplants. Definitely not a modern-day philosopher king.

7:18 Don was not making $57k when he could afford to pay $50k for Pete’s contribution and not ask for it back. He had his own $100k contribution and gave $1M to Megan. But Neal is trying to make Mark feel good.

Mark not having car or health insurance with his success is batshit

Of course he has health insurance and car insurance. He’s has a family and another child on the way.

And both his hippie parents are lawyers. PS NB's point about real estate is waaaay under appreciated imo. Add up taxes, upkeep, insurance, down payment, particular market, hoa's, end cost of mortgage price to orig price, strain on lifestyle due to income to price ratios today…………..it ain't 1975 anymore….rent in one or (2 places if you can find cheap abroad apt,) and stuff extra in $SPY sounds good to me.
