They are paying 80% of wages upto 25k a year so just over 2k a month and that’s about enough to survive your not going to live but you will pay the bills and survive. This applies to employed and self employed (self employed harder to fit the requirements) if your forced to close or come under none essential work then it applies so if your a drive way fitter you get it farmers don’t as they have to work to provide food.

The wife is now the BOSS LOL She's got leverage on him... it's called DIVORCE haha

[@emailercc3565]

what exaclty is she gettting, ben said it himself, hes leveraged. by the time all is done she will inherit properties that need to be paid. so debt

[@brandonlifefamily8331]

She will divorce him for another guy in the same boat? Ya right. Not anyone with big money right now that isn't hurting a little. I bet Ben had money in the bank anyways which will keep him afloat. He is just pissed about the loss of the 6 million in hotel income this month, you got to read through the lines.........

Ben I was really hoping your wife would say sell what every you want of mine, I am with you!

[@TemplarX2]

His wife is really superficial. He should have married a Jewish woman.

[@cosminmoflic8319]

Ben I really appreciate the video! I know it's easy to make videos when things are really going your way but it takes a lot of character to make a video when things are nasty. I wish you all the best and I hope things are getting better for you soon!

[@brad265]

I've been wondering how you guys were doing. Looking forward to the update but sorry you're going thru this. Part of business.

This is why you diversify your income streams!!! Don't create a lifestyle that completely relies on one part of the economy.

You have no bearings to make such a statement. He is one of the most diversified investors that is not a billionaire or celebrity.
