Bay, this makes no sense honestly.
How about if Joe got a good job w/ insurance, and took care of his wife?
Point taken, but clearly Joe has chosen a different path. By the time you invest a certain amount of years and energy into powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, etc. your probability of getting and keeping a traditional “good job” with insurance is greatly diminished. Recognizing this, it makes a lot of sense to pair up with someone whose lifestyle choices will compliment and balance your own. In this case, a spouse or partner who has a good job with solid benefits like health insurance, life insurance, retirement contributions, tuition benefit, car allowance, etc. Begging strangers online to meet critical expenses like a health insurance deductable is a clear indication of a life that has gone off the rails. Two losers do not equal one winner. See the merger of Sears and Kmart as one example.
By the way, we have seen this many times over the years with former bodybuilders: sob stories posted online (often with their spouse right beside them) begging “the community” for assistance. Or worse: they turn to escorting.
