Yeah, that wasn't really a critique of Soren but of the OP enthusiasm that he is living the life we all wish we could. The grass is rarely greener it just looks that way.
He is most certainly not 'living the dream.' He's definitely a badass--even if he gets a bit annoying at times--but in one of his recent videos he mentioned that he is living off of his ~ $400/month income from YouTube and is down to something like $1500. Additionally, he was in a mental hospital a few months ago and essentially had to drop out of college.
I have enormous respect for the guy and I drew a lot of inspiration from him while I was in high school, but his life has gotten pretty rough and I'm not sure that anyone would consider his current living situation to be 'the dream.'
I don't doubt that he has the potential to make olympic/WC teams in the future, but he's doing it the hard way. Best of luck to him.
If he's getting low on funds then he should probably move out of Flagstaff and to somewhere less expensive.
