Has anyone ever been able to go from absolutely broke to making a comfortable living?

Wtf dude. Ill be honest. I didn't read your whole post because it's a bunch of mopey shit in New Years and I'm not exactly in a scholarly state. But I'll tell you what. I'm not a rich man In the ways of friends and family but I once was long ago. I was also piss broke, working day labor jobs and eating potatoes as my daily meal. Eventually I hit rock bottom which landed me back in school eating student loans since it paid the rent.

Now see here son. I graduated last year in the arts of tomfoolery and was offered a job making the big figures. 80gs and that's on top of benefits. I just lead the charge and never took no for an answer when I counted. I also told all the fucks with the chicken shit excuses that I wouldn't be attending.

So now here I sit. With more money than I can spend. My job took me everywhere. Around the world. I met a girl before I left. She was the one so I put a ring on her. The. I left her and did t come back for 8 months. She broke. I tell you she broke down in the worst way and I lost her and lost everything I had been working towards. Now I'm home and have more money than I can spend I went to Mexico. I went to Germany. I met the king of fuck all and they told me I was about to lead the world. Why

Let me tell you something you chicken shit mother. You don't know what wealth you have. You won't know until you've finished pissing it away and that's not your fault but it will happen. Work hard for your family but never forget that it's your family your working for. Otherwise you might end up like me and working so hard your family isn't there when you turn around.
