Can you please elaborate on your friend's plan? It sound interesting, and I'd like to see the details: how much he works per week, earnings, expenditures, expected net worth over time, etc.
I don't remember most of those details off hand, but I'll try to ask him and look for any that might be in some of our email correspondences (most of the details were in phone conversations, though). I know that his work schedule is pretty intense; I think one of the main reasons we don't communicate more is because it's hard to determine when opportunities will arise without us both knowing to look in advance.
