Love to see it! I was homeless 15 years ago.. And now it feels like worlds ago. Surrounding yourself with good people and push through obstacles... The end will come!
Apparently, Chris got kicked out of his home when he was 18 years old. He lived in his car for a while (in freezing winter) and even contemplated suicide but at one point he realized βthe only person I could truly count on was myself.β
He started applying for jobs β anything he could find β at the library. Warehouse, factory, meat packer, wedding DJ assistant, solar panel canvaser (twice), insurance agent, etc. He finally got hired as a mattress salesman, earning a 30k annual salary.
He was able to afford a place for $550 a month, finally not being homeless anymore. He started going back to school while working full-time, taking online classes during work.
After completing his schooling, Chris became a teaching assistant. But he had higher ambitions, and eventually applied to a tech job in Philly. His salary doubled but still, he did not lose momentum. And finally, after 4 years, he officially became a homeowner (a $350k home on 1.24 acres).
