Sounds like someone was bankrolling you through this period of failure?
And from you're own admission you "had to scrounge for change" a few times... I know people who nearly starved to death as little children. In fact there are starving, begging kids out on the streets all over the city I live in.
It doesn't sound like you have any familiarity with the type of extreme poverty that hundreds of millions of people on Earth live through, for whom it is clearly not a choice.
I didn’t have a bankroll during this time, but have a job that i found through a guy i knew who knew another guy at the gym, which kept me afloat.
I can say that I have been fortunate enough to not have ever been at that level of poverty and should probably adjust my statements accordingly. Looking back, as i wrote that, I most likely had just the States in mind and other Western countries, not societies that are considered 3rd world.
For those, I cannot fathom the issues they face nor will i even attempt to speculate as that would be just foolish of me.
