I had a health crisis that led to me running up about $50k in debt. I gave up my car, later quit my corporate job for reasons and went and lived in a tent for 5 years, 8 months and one week. I paid down debt and developed a portable income while living in a tent. Last week, I left California to move someplace cheaper and got back into housing on Friday.
