It sounds like you think $70,000 is a lot and he is exaggerating his income. Doesn't sound like an exaggeration to me. What do you make a year?
$70,000 is more than I would ever expect Vince to earn, considering his previous job was at Home Depot making $11/hour (per his own admission). Sure he's got a couple side hustles but we all know those dont net him much money
$70k may not be a lot of money depending on your perspective, but for a single man w no children in rural NC its enough to live comfortably.
