Wow, really good video that I feel would be easily digestible for a lot of young people who are just starting to realize consumerism is a trap and are looking for an alternative.

I'll bet commercial sailor is one of those make above 55k (or 100k) with all expenses paid.  Similar to military or other.  Shouldn't be too hard to have a 90% savings rate in that type of job.

More things that you don't need traditional college for that pay quite well...

Spoiler: his occupation wasn't a sailor. He was in tech during the dot com boom.
