My Doomer Friend Miles.

In 2022, Miles took on two jobs—working 8 to 4, then 6 to midnight. It only lasted four months, but I was the one who pushed him to do it. I encouraged him to grind for a bit so he could crush his high-interest car loan. I was juggling two jobs myself at the time, so maybe that made it seem doable.

By month three, he was making real progress.

Then out of nowhere, some friend I’d never even heard of messaged him—invited him to a UFC fight in Vegas.

Miles said yes. Paid his own way.

Just like that, the extra cash was gone.
The debt? Still there.
The devil came knocking—and Miles opened the door.
