$80,000 is a great down payment in most places of the USA. You could buy a large country home with a pool and a view in most places of the world with that money.

I like risk takers, but quitting your job and spending all that money isn't actually a risk, it's just kinda lazy.

I'm not trying to be mean. This guy's obviously doing a lot right. He has friends, he's physically active, he has hobbies. But none of these things requires spending down $80k with effectively $0 in income.

Maybe he reads this comment and it lights a fire under his ass. 2 years is too long to get going, bro. You gotta dial in, move faster, and make money in a few weeks tops, or just get a job and slow burn on the side.
