"decent" house lol, you paid too much for yours then. average house would run around ~200k and thats to fully pay it off. anyways 500k is just this year they are doubling that next and who knows what will happen if the GSL proves to be succesfull | ||

So even if you get 5-6% from the bank, the currency is probably losing 3-4% in value during the same time. So in several years, the base of $500k that is earning interest is worth far less. It isn't even remotely close to enough to be set for life... unless they plan to live under the poverty line. | ||

I still don't think he'll succeed in SC2. That's just my opinion. Being a caster is far more dependent on your personality than on your SC experience, and I don't think this is an option for him. The coach thing may be an option; but again, that is also rather dependent on other factors. $85k is the first prize reward in the GSL. He's saying that if he won the GSL he would make $85k, which is nice for a year, but there's no guarantee he would win. | ||

Her house is like 3-4m (2 lots and just badass overall 20+feet hedges) alternatively, in my neighborhood (only like 5 miles away) the same size house is probably 300-500k. But she is 5 steps from the beach, whereas I am .5 miles. | ||

Also progaming is growing and his involment with it will surely enable him to get a job there of some kind even if he completely fails with his own progamer career. How is that not enough? I eagerly await the name of the bank that you use. | ||

If he does not increase SC2 popularity in Korea I don't know who is. At least Zerg can pwn every race with absolute ease now. | ||
