How did you end up in that situation and how did you get out of it? Were there friends or family that could help out and if so, why didn't they?

- PopeDotNinja 8y agoThis was in 2009. At the end of 2008 when startup financing dried up, I ended up with pretty much no income. I was recruiting on an hourly basis, and I couldn't find a new contract. I had about $50K saved up to pay taxes and an S.F. studio apartment, and I decided to live off that money & try starting a startup. A year later I had no money and no apartment. I could have stayed with my parents in the burbs of L.A., but I figured I would have gotten stuck in an area where there even less opportunity. I ended up floor surfing at a cheap place here in San Francisco, the Harcourt Hotel at 1105 Larkin St. Basically I made newer friends faster that my new the friends didn't want me crashing with them anymore.
