38 years old broke, no house and a shitty job. Yeah I appreciate it that I'm old and broke with a shitty job.

Tq for listening to my ted talk.

I swear this was me only a couple years back. Seems like it was just yesterday. I woke up one day and said fuck it, I can’t just sit around smoking weed and playing video games forever. I decided to look into going back to college and get a degree, change the way I think. Fuck this pay check to pay check shit.

Anyways Diablo 4 comes out this weekend and I’m just gunna smoke and chill. Could be worse.

I worked my ass off so I could sit around smoking weed and playing video games forever. Different folks, I guess. Congrats on your journey. :)

38 years old, young enough to turn it around, a job instead of jobless, spending time on Reddit (okay this may be a negative haha). Being homeless does suck though. Yeah you don't have it great, but many many people have it worse (not saying you should be happy because people in Africa are worse off or something, just showing how others can have another perspective on things).

Same. I turn 38 next week. Can't buy a house, barely have anything saved for retirement. Meanwhile my friends make enough to feed a family if 4 and own a house on a single income.

Feels bad man.

I was over 40 years old, broke, no house, no job, married with an unemployed wife. But we turned it around and life is now better than I thought it could be. Don’t give up.
