At 16, my parents were lending me their 20 year old beater. Very Jealous.
I don't think it's that unrealistic. He didn't really get into how he received the money he was saving. I know a few guys who when they were 15-18 started businesses that would easily enable them to purchase a residence ticket. I know at least one who had a higher income than their parents by 16.

His writing and photos are much better than Lucky and the kid is a lot less annoying.
