Man, how did you spend 500 THOUSAND dollars and ended up without almost anything, i mean how is it possible? Can you please do video of that? Thanks!

[@jeffh3984]

this will happen to anyone who spends more money than they make. it's as simple as that. look at all the lottery winners who blow through millions and end up broke.

[@benfishermin]

@JoonasLintunen I was overspending but also I did not have any other income. So I lived off of that money over a couple of years, traveling around and then moving to NYC, so naturally it was spent. It's easy to spend over $100k in a year.

[@benfishermin]

@jeffh3984 yea exactly, I was spending too much and I no longer had income to support that kind of spending

[@ThaiGirlfriend-xt4lp]

@@jeffh3984live on it for 5 years @ 100k/ year vacation 😂

Mate, am an avid gamer, was ranked in top 100 in the world for racing games. I also used to hack games and apps (exe's, dll's, registries and then license keys) in the early days of the internet, working with the Russians I found on some forums. Then got into hacking playstations, xboxs, wii's. Was even tried to get recruited by local law enforcement to join their e-crime team lol.. 20 years later I'm now One of the Good guys working on Cyber security. Love your story mate as I saw myself in parts of yours and bringing back those memories. Thanks for the honest vlog and making me relive mine. Keep at it mate, you'll get there again. 👍

[@benfishermin]

Awesome, cyber security seems like a really good gig, definitely a path I almost took. I'm glad you could relate and enjoyed the video.

[@Mrbeads]

Did you ever get into crypto?

[@benfishermin]

Nope never dabbled!

[@indy200]

When I saw the documentaries about mining in China (Gold Coins, Accessories, Virtual items, etc.). I actually planned to hire people in China (guessing it would cost only 100 US Dollar per month at that time) and let them do the mining. So actually having the same plan as you. But I did not execute on that. (I also have to say that I am 10 years older than you. And at age 15 I was also heavily playing. But there were no online gaming opportunities that much at that time).

[@benfishermin]

I was always really interested in those gold farming operations, for World of Warcraft especially, that's the documentary I remember seeing on KZbin with rooms full of PC's and people grinding/farming in the game.

[@user-co4pv4oj2d]

Talk about thinking on your feet ! at such a young age...What a Story. Not that i understood some of it, too complicated for me. Whether what you were doing was wrong. Anyway next chapter.

[@benfishermin]

Thanks my friend 😁

[@Apex1337]

With money They say easy come easy go ... but @ least you had a good time 😊 exploring & travelling

[@benfishermin]

Yes true I got to live quite an adventurous life from it!

[@ThaiGirlfriend-xt4lp]

Thoughts on dropshipping??? Can you make millions with dropshipping?

[@benfishermin]

Very unlikely, and not easy to get into

[@tazzznphilly]

😳. Wow! Im Smuckers JELLY! Very clever indeed. Thanks for sharing that, Benjamin. Impressive. Then, really great to learn your journey into being a tattoo artist. Pretty damn enlightening. Overall, this all shows your tenacity to strive for something you feel you can do. Keep that 🔥while your figuring out Thailand living. I believe in you, eBestie. 😏 ~ Tazzz ~

[@benfishermin]

Thanks for the comment. I'm excited to see where things will go this year, especially with KZbin, I think this year things will grow a ton. Will not stop any time soon.

[@AussieOutlaw]

500 K is amazing, so why not repeat that again, wouldnt that be better than just existing now having to watch every dime you spend ?

[@molonlabe9602]

@14:00

[@buttsniffa7469]

Lol did you not listen to him??

[@benfishermin]

@AussieOutlaw of course I'd love to repeat that again if I could lol!

[@benfishermin]

@molonlabe9602 haha THANKS :D

[@elgertj]

i remember this, it was so easy back then!! you got me into trying it out with the galaxy phone series but i wasnt making nearly the same profit, maybe 100 a month

[@benfishermin]

did you ever make anything from it? would be funny if you checked and it's been earning all these years

[@sukh6142]

Nice my friend!

[@benfishermin]

Thank you mate

[@Wardi484]

I feel like this would be a good platform to plug your Instagram / tattoo designs

[@benfishermin]

True, I put my IG in the description!

[@haverstorm]

can you make a video about how you spent the half a mil? Seems like a lot..

[@benfishermin]

Goes relatively quickly in NYC and also over a couple of year period, with traveling too, I didn't have any income also

[@Vlogged-off]

You should never tell people stuff like this on line... Makes yourself a 🎯 especially as everyone knows where you live ??? There are people that will rinse you like a flannel for a few hundred pounds ... Let alone any more . . This aside I've enjoyed your vlogs 👍

[@benfishermin]

I’m an open book mate. Glad you enjoyed.

[@molonlabe9602]

You grossed half a million.

[@benfishermin]

Yep I did

[@mosscrowley3115]

Wishing you all the best Ben, be healthy and happy,..🙏🍀🇮🇪.
