A sixer of tall boys a day equals approximately $2,100. Freddy could probably cut out the booze and pay incrementally towards his own debt instead of panhandling.
Freddy absolutely cannot cut out the booze. Everyone I know that has spent more than an hour with him has seen him drunkenly puke. He rarely even drinks water or eats, he just slams Heinekens all day. He wouldn't be able to survive going cold turkey.
Maybe that plays a factor in how he manages his finances, no? 🤔
I’m kinda torn on all this tbh. On one hand, dealing with debt sucks & society doesn’t necessarily spoon feed financial literacy to the general public, so it sucks to see a fellow skater in that predicament (dealing with $80k to IRS no less)
On the other hand I’m like, this is a grown ass man in his thirty’s asking for donations on the internet to pay off his debt. Bro, there’s probably like 10 people who’ve viewed this thread alone who’re probably dealing similar circumstances and if any of them average Joes posted a gofundme, not a single person would give a fuck. Idc if he’s a legend at the end of the day you’re a GROWN ASS MAN. Make sacrifices, form better spending habits, & learn how to manage your money better. We all know his personality/lifestyle and that shit is not sustainable at his age w/ no major ventures outside of some skate sponsors. Time to adjust. Dude could get that full $80k right now and be another few G’s in the hole just a few months later if he doesn’t make those personal adjustments and truly learn how to manage his money.
I’m sure he’s going through it and I really do feel for him in that regard, but at the same time I’m like tough titty nigga, we all tryna make it out here. I got mouths to feed and if I’m giving money away, it ain’t gonna be to some dude who’s older than me who’s had a whole career & fanbase to work with prior to being in said predicament. ESPECIALLY if he’s a known drinker. Fuck that
