    Could easilly just be paying for porn, smoking, and drinking.

    EDIT: I forgot the gambling. I remember seeing somewhere that the average impoverished American(or family?) spends $600 a month on lotto tickets. Hopefully that was just part of a nightmare I had.

      Doesn’t really sound like he’s doing much drinking, if we assume that he (or OOP) isn’t just lying. If he spent it all in bars he probably wouldn’t say that he just jerks off to porn and goes to sleep when he’s not working, and if he was drinking at home it would definitely be visible in such an empty apartment.

      Porn and smoking … I guess it’s possible to spend that much money on that.

          Weird, that kind of thing should let you live a pretty decent life where I live. We don’t have the US’ absurd health care system, though.

        All things are possible for those who think a cot and two lawn-chairs are plenty after six years … I guess he could also send every spare-penny away to family, but the dudes who do that usually don’t live by themselves.
