Nah. I don't think my friend was taking the piss, because he was doing ok here and doing his own fights to just up and stop everything just to go into camp.

Perhaps the 60k was not with expenses and other living accommodations taken into consideration. But I'm almost certain he was not going to get up and leave his family, properties and career just to do that.

Plus, we have seen the evidence of his extra money on the ground.
