Get a job.  Be responsible.  Don't travel if you can't afford it.  

I think we must always show "indignity" to this and "discourse"  ourselves 

Thankyou to the guys who posted these 2 new words recently

From his YouTube description:

 

My name is Scotty Asher, known on the Internet as "Scotty Bear," a nickname given to me by a dear friend. Currently experiencing homelessness in the US from the High cost of rent, I decided to embark on an adventure and purchased a one-way ticket to South East Asia. Now, I'm drifting around the continent, trying to escape my past while making a living freelancing and living as frugally as possible. By day, I'm an internet marketer and artist, sharing my nomad journey and experiences through my YouTube channel. Join me as I navigate the highs and lows of life on the road, chasing dreams, and finding myself in the most unexpected places on earth.

 

So he's an idealist. Most idealists are in their 20s but he is in his 40s. If people were to give him money, say $2000, would he use it to go back to the US and land back on his feet? No, he would spend it here and make a video about it.

Yes !!!

I'm sick of you people trying to charge me for extra weight on my bag !

If my baggage is 40kg limit ,so what if it's a few kilos over 

I had a big argument with a Qantas check in Bangkok last time 

I'm flying business class ,I'm a VIP !

You know how many times I have flown Qantas over the years ,I practically paid for the tyres on the aircraft

   You have to pay for extra baggage , why did you want it for free ?

Why didn't you make that your bag was the correct weight ?

I'm a important business class passenger surely they can oversee a few kilos !!!

I don't like to get off topic but as Ginboy mentioned he is a check in counter person for a airline 

 

These people are actors smiling and pretending to be nice 

 

What I ALWAYS do once they have put the tag on the suitcase and placed it on the scales conveyor belt is to stop them and re check the tag myself 

 

Is the destination right I ask before looking at the tag they stapled onto my suitcase handle 

 

They dont like it 

 

Apart from the accusing me of having overweight baggage they seem always forget my fast track pass.to get through immigration 

 

Two times in 3 years they have lost my baggage and I proceeded to tell the person at check in this last month 

 

Do without them soon hopefully with the new E check in

Many businesses are so desperate for workers they will hire anyone with a pulse.  It's quite easy for even the homeless to find work in the US.

I think the challenge is: Can your income, whatever your job (let's say menial work / day labour) cover your living expenses, no matter how basic you're living?

 

I know back in the 70s-early 2000s, even a basic low paying job would cover one's basic necessities like shelter, food, transport (public) and basic clothing.

 

That's another reason why there hasn't been any great art (e.g. music) produced since the 1990s: no one in the USA can afford to be an artist anymore.

the guy said he hasn't had a job in over 15 years. He is a <deleted> bum.

Maybe he is on the disability pension 

America apparently pay their citizens disability pension even when overseas unlike Australia

Nope, he's just a grifter.

I had a look at his website.  He obviously has some skills in creating websites, social marketing etc.  But his fees are crazy!!  With competition from low-cost countries (India, Philippines etc), he needs to divide his fees by a factor of 10....

Your new E check in will automatically refuse your overweight bag and since you love to buy 50 baht t shirts maybe you need to buy half a tonne or lose the superiority attitude @ check in often works wonders 😉

Here's an update for those who are interested:

 

Says he has "clients" back in the US but while also saying he's broker than ever. Probably just earning enough from them to cover low cost flights to circulate around various countries to avoid being chucked out for staying in one place too long and pay for bottom dollar accommodation and dining.  

 

By sounds of it, he's the author of his own misfortune if he doesn't want to pay his way properly i.e. work in farangland in your chosen career during your prime earning years, visiting Asia when you can with the goal of  retiring there in a financially sound position in your 50s or early 60s. Or, move to Asia at a younger age but on the proviso you've got good enough skills to develop a proper career or your own business, online or otherwise, which leaves you in a similar position and not without 2 pennies to rub together come your late 40s. 

 

Everyone's had misfortunes in life, medical, personal or otherwise. I've had my share. It's how you respond that counts and being realistic as well. This guy has no real life plan and will be screwed in the not-to-distant future. He just seems oblivious or not bothered about it. 

 

There was a case on here some time back about a UK guy, a bit older than this one, who'd run out of luck in Asia after years overseas and had to go home and throw himself on the mercy of social services. Wasn't a pretty picture. From what I can tell, the US safety net is somewhat less than the UK so he's potentially in a dire position if there's no family or friends to fall back on.

Despite what the video portrays, he's probably doing ok.  I think it's all an act.

His YouTube channel should be monetized given he has more than the required number of subscribers and is most likely getting enough watch hours to qualify.  

I doubt you or anyone else bothered to do any digging.  Check out his website - https://scottrasher.com/

 

I'm with you on that assessment. I stopped watching the vid when he made the laughable comment (at 04:07) "I found an opening in my schedule"! Priceless.

 

Rocks up at his destination (I'm guessing Phils) and only has about USD 10-12 but still buys a coffee at the airport. I guess then he walked into town?

 

His web site makes clear he's all about digital biz and monetising his online activities.
