This is a sad, desperate person who was tricked and feels like they waited too long to "do their own research" like they keep telling others to do.

I wonder how many of the folks who have been tricked into this fake lifestyle have a greater than 9th grade education. Not because of this post, but just continually reading these leads me to believe that these are not only gullible and desperate people, but people who are entirely uneducated (likely proudly uneducated in some cases, and keep talking about their "common sense" and "street smarts").
