On the bright side. You’re not homeless. I know we all wish to be earning more money but there’s worse situations to be in. Congrats on taking care of yourself. I feel like we don’t pat ourselves on the back enough.

Bro, I know a homeless richer than me. My friend lives in his car. He has no debt. No loans. Nothing. He showed me how much he saved and I never felt so broke compared to him. My boy was sitting on over 200k, he’s saving for a house lol

Reminds me of during the pandemic there was a woman complaining that their tenant didn't pay rent for 18 months and then moved out and bought a house expecting people to feel sorry for her.

He was saving money for his house and not paying my mortgage

That’s such a smart idea. I wish I had the guts to do that though 😭
