2. If you live in the truck it means you own the truck..

and all the expenses required to operate same, so deduct about $10,000+ per year from that seventy..licenses, fees, fuel, tolls, repairs, etc, etc, etc.

I doubt he paid cash for the truck..since he was just homeless, so truck loan??? $2,000 per month = $24,000 per year

then there's that nasty requirement for food..since there is no kitchen in the truck, you must eat all meals out..there's another $7,000+ per year ($20.00 per day to eat 3 meals out 365 day/year)

Have no idea what a truck stop charges for showers, but I bet they ain't free! Twice a week minimum @ $10.00??? Another $1,000 or so per year?

Of course clothes/shoes are a small budget item...maybe $1,500 per year.

Not sure what else would be required...OH...the student loan from 'truck drivin skool'!

Wonder how much of that $70,000 is left after all that minus taxes deducted? Self employed pay BOTH sides of SS & Medicare..

1,000,000 / 20 years = $50,000 per year...poor guy's outta luck!
