Chuck wrote, “Sometimes you need a reality check, just to be reconnected to everyday life. You need to be reminded of just how much money you have, and the issues you used to have to consider before you had any money. Sometimes friends will say, ‘Hey, man, I’m coming to visit you in two months.’ And I’ll say, ‘Why the hell are you telling me that now?’ And they’ll say, ‘Because I had to buy my airline tickets today, a**hole, so it won’t cost a million dollars.’

He has no perception of the issue as he has never flown on a plane when he was on welfare. Now that he’s worth $70 million, he doesn’t have to worry about getting plane tickets. He continued, “And since September 1, I’ve pretty much been flying in private planes. So, it’s definitely a reality check when somebody calls me saying, ‘I need to keep this airfare under $200.’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, you need to buy a ticket two months in advance to fly on this ratty airline? In coach?’ See, I have no perception of that.”
