It looks like it’s framed as a ‘good news’ story, but:
- Almost 40 yrs old
- Works full time
- Needed to spend 7 years working (presumably more) and collecting 450,000 cans
- To be able to put a deposit on a two bedroom house on the central coast.
Like how is any of that good news?

The good news is he collected 450000 cans and didn’t drink 450000 beers

These stories always feel like they’re a propaganda piece by business to encourage people to work harder and to suffer through it as if there is some means to an end to it all. Your points exactly point out the fucking insanity of the whole situation.
I guess he did meet some bands though.

He got enough money to turn off the orphan crushing machine for a moment.
