The numbers and timeline don't make sense, unless they're making crazy amounts of money.  I think it's just BS

They paid off $25k in debt and managed to save $15k in a year's time?  I mean I know I suck at saving but that's a hell of a turnaround for somebody in supposed financial trouble

$150k/yr job, modest living expenses, pretty easy to save $40k in a year especially if you’re living frugally to pay off debt. Takes ~$30k year to max all tax advantaged retirement accounts for an individual, lots of people save that and more.

Sounds like he was doing alright financially until he found out about options trading.
