I'm not sure if this is a boring dystopia story. What I read is the story of a gullible man with no concept of saving for rainy days who struck it rich and lost it all. Sad, but hardly anybody's fault but his.
Bob was very cute
So the guy made a million pounds over 12 years (on average 83k a year), and still makes 10k a year now.
Motherfucker, that amount of money means a comfy retirement for most people.
"And being financially irresponsible". He took the £1 million he made and blew it on luxurious items and now it's all gone. He could have won the lottery and it'd be the same story.
Fair. I think he should have realised it wouldn't a consistent stream, as the cat would eventually die. Maybe use it to study or something and get a good job up.
Omg I read this book a while ago
