They're too old to still be so flighty with their lives. Two 40 years continuously trying to live like they did in their 20s.
No, they aren't. Just because they're 40 doesn't mean they can't still live a chaotic, exciting life if that's what they're into. If anything, I respect people who get older physically but not mentally. They are both wealthy enough to be doing it, and have enough free time, why not? Should they just sit in a house all alone like an actually elderly couple?
Also, they're 40, not 60. Casey was broke af when he was in his 20s, now in his late 30s (he's not even 40 yet, is he?) he finally has the wealth and freedom he wants, more power to him if he still has a young mentality at heart.
He also has two young children who need stability... You said it yourself, it's chaotic, and sure if that's their choice cool, but based off how they've talked in their podcast and videos, both of their flight-y ness has wrecked havoc on their relationship. Remember when Casey was at his peak and would hang out with youtubers a decade younger than him, jet setting all over the world and partying with girls instead of being a father and a husband? Or how after decades of living in NYC, Candice suddenly just didn't want to be there, moved to LA, and now is moving again, despite the fact that Casey was fine in NYC. Casey jumping from business venture to business venture, none of which have been successful (but he lucked out in a ~$50 million buyout thanks to his social media clout). Having more children even though neither one of them really seems to love the idea of being a parent to young babies...I could go on. These are all choices they made, that they talk about in length as straining their relationship.
As for money, Casey and Candice were living very comfortably in New York even before the vlogs started, traveled and partied a bunch, and lived pretty good "20s" and "30s" even if they weren't millionaires, so yeah it's kinda sad that still at 40 they cant get over the fact that they aren't two 20 year olds with no responsibilities or structure. Slightly off topic, but I posted this in the last thread about Casey's "rough upbringing" and I still stand by it 100%:
"I am so tired of hearing Casey's sob life story which is only a sob story bc of the choices HE made in life. Shit happens to everyone but Casey made the decisions to "not agree with authority" in school, knock up his girlfriend, drop out instead of finishing school, etc. casey's sob story is not a rags to riches story bc life happened to him and he overcame it. it's a "I fucked up a lot but then I decided to just stop fucking up and it was ok again" story. It's not like he grew up poverty stricken, in an abusive household, with a disability, etc. Had Casey not made a lot of the decisions he made in life he still would very likely be in the same position he is in today in terms of being successful and having a stable life. Maybe not a millionaire but still well off enough to not struggle (also his wife comes from money). So no Casey, I don't feel bad for the "hard life" you had. Casey should also acknowledge the a large reason he's where he is with filmmaking is bc of networking. Almost all of his gigs, especially in the beginning were due to networking and already having connections and not necessarily bc he makes the most unique and captivating films. Networking is Casey's biggest asset. it's a skill not many possess or feel comfortable doing but he excels at that and has used it to his benefit, I wonder why he never offers that little tid bit of advice in his videos..."
