During your darkest days how close were you to going broke?

Tag me in it if you do and I will moderate the hell out of it to keep the assholes restrained.

And you did it, thanks for that.

I think people who find their way to that podcast... will make it. Here's why. It's not (today) as easy as searching iTunes for it. So you are diving deep and digging in deep if you make it that far. It's a good sign. It's a sign that you get it, and you are just looking for tools. Keep the faith. You'll make it.

Speaking of which, I need to finish listening to it....

I lived out of my truck in January in new england. I had nothing and nobody to fall back on. My parents kicked me out at 18 and I had no idea how the world worked. You learn real fast when you have no options.

January was just a few months ago. Did you already come out of it?

Thought we could make an inspiring thread for people who are struggling on their road to freedom. People can share how low they once got on the road to freedom before they bounced back to greater success.

At my lowest (late 2013) I had less than $50 in my account. I was working on a contract that was out of town and purposely worked extra days since food and accommodation was provide. I knew the company paid every two weeks by automatic deposit so I worked 4 weeks until the first 2 weeks hit my account.
I also knew heading to the job that if anything went wrong I wouldn't have enough gas money to drive me home early. Looking back I learned a lot of lessons during that time.

Who else had some similar times?

In 2012, I was 2,000 miles from the comfort of home, in the middle of the desert with $250 left to my name, and a maxed out credit card that paid for the gas to get me there.

Pulled my car into an indian casino, and put it all on the line in a game of poker...

I went all in...

Then some stuff happened. And four years later, I am where I am today.

...life.
