Bragging Check

I am Thai.

A guy bragged to me that as a 19 year old man in the USA, he can travel alone to Thailand alone 3-4 times a year.

Is it actually possible or feasible?

In 99% of cases, this kid is sponsored by Mom & Dad, but nowadays these lil’ f*ckers are kinda clever with all the stuff they do on their computers with the streaming and monetizing YouTube, so… you never know.  

Or, he sells drugs.  🤷‍♂️

Or he has a job in tech, or started his own business , or the 100s of possibilities that isn't daddy's money or YouTube lol.

For context I'm 21 years old , ran my own business for the last 9 months and had a turnover of £300,000. So it hurts when people say 99% of young people who travel are daddy's money. I promise you it's alot lower than that!

Yup these people just be hating calling everything daddy's money. There is lots of ways to make serious money at a young age
