I crashed at my sisters for 3 months and then lived in an apt for $300 for 9 months while making $250/month for the first 3 months.
Ended up getting a job there, working my way, getting recruited & then quitting & starting my own business.
Not a "rich person", just got tired of getting rejected from starbucks/target/caribou & figured I'd might as well spend my time being useful rather than complaining about being unemployed.
- bruceb 13y agoWhile I will say you were not supported by "Daddy" but were by your sister. Not everyone has a family member where they want to get a job. 3 months is a not a short stay. That being said some people need to realize you have to sacrifice having your own room sometimes if you are going after a goal. Good that you did that and it worked out.
- antoko 13y agoyou're not a "rich person" by your definition of whatever that means, but how do you live on $250/mo when just rent is $300/mo? You're short $50/mo and you didn't eat or travel yet. For other people's definition of "rich person" magic money from nowhere that pays your bills is sufficient.
- joelrunyon 13y agoI had a bit of money saved (just a couple thousand), but I decided that 3 months of debt going after something I wanted was worth the risk. Worth noting that I still paid her rent the entire stay.
