Soooooo.......
I was so broke(and still is), i had to live in a abandon home which have been abandoned for 7+ years now since the death of this old cranky guy who lived down the street from my mothers. His wife past away a few years prior and it was just him and his old black Lab who past away shortly after his wife. They were antique auctioneers so they buy and sell antiques they acame across from yard sales, auctions or whatnot and would have shitload of old furniture, pictures, dolls, books, record players, clocks, you name it and they were making a decent living over it after scrummaging around and coming across invoices, bank withdrawals, CD's or whatnot ranging around 10k+ or so
(note- this was after my financial collaspe which set me back 1000 years)
Now his son owns the home and he'd have contractors come and touch the home up a bit w0is once in a blue moon. I would describe the home because the conditions were horrible but im afraid of the owner or whoever coming across it (trust me i dont have good luck at all) but i stayed in one of the rooms which i cleared out of mess that took forever to move but i was glad that their were brooms, dustpans, trashbags and other extras that i need to make the room at least decent enough for me to sleep in. This was between 2014-2015.
My parents home was(and still is) packed so looking for a spot to sleep was not happening. My parents are from the Caribbean and most of my family are spreaded out to god knows where plus nobody gets along so reaching out to family was a NO GO and im very anti-social(which i inherited from my family) so calling a few people to let me stay a few months to get back on my feet was out the picture. My pops is constantly working to keep the home up and food on the table in a house of 7(still praying for him) and my mom was(and still is) worried about my well being and whereabouts which a mother do but i always lie and say im staying with a friend and doing fine even though im right down the street from her.
(note- i have(and still is) to park my car at a apartment complex 2 blocks away from her house to avoid getting caught and jump the neighbor fence who stay directly behind the home(which is thankfully another abandoned home) just to get through a broken window which is about 4 feet thats located in the den of the home and which i have to cover with a huge portrait to block mosquitoes, lizards and whatever that comes in the house)
I sucked up my pride and stayed in a few homeless shelters. Going back and forth to work seemed impossible due to the running around in shelters. I was(and still is) on the verge of getting fired due to my tardiness and absence. I work at a callcenter(Allstate) and attendance is one thing they are strict on due to service level that has to be meet. They give you a written warning, then a verbal warning then a final were you talk to the big man(who is 5'4) about why your showing up late or whatnot. I explained to him my situation. He didnt belive me at first because he said he heard it all and ask why havent i discuss that with my supervisor or floor manager (yea right) I work at a callcenter and no matter what word get spread faster than finding out there wether or not its a rumor so i wasnt comfortable with the fact people knowing my situation. Plus my supervisor is a snot nose bitch who thinks she knows everything so i showed him my bank statements(-$10), documents of homeless shelters i was registered in(which was in my car) and i was always(and still is) depressed because of what im going through feeling suicidal and waking up to go to work isnt whats going through your head when depressed. Its all DIE DIE DIE...so he ended up he giving me a chance to keep my job and he promised to keep it between us as well as apologizing to the point of making me feel sorry for myself. He said at the end of the day he got bosses so if they give him the word then he have to do what he have to do but offered a place to stay with his wife and children and other things which made me feel useless but i respectfully decline. I can do bad by myself so im still hopping shelter to shelter to save up money
(note- i cant get a home in my name because of a default when i was 19 and sharing the rent with a friend who ditched out on a $900 2/2 which was in my name like a smart guy which also fucked up my credit)
but the people there as well as the staff gave me the creeps and they were obnoxiously rude and didnt really care for your well being. You just had a place to sleep plus their standard of living was way below what i was used to so i called it quits and stayed in my car for 2 months. I parked in different locations throughout the town i still reside in looking for spots to park and sleep which didnt go to well once behind a dominoes lot. I drive a crown vic police car which look really cool during the day but at night give you the creeps since police cars give off that negative vibe to some people so i always had my car parked backwards there so i can see whos coming from the front(the spot had super saiyan wifi sinced it shared the lot which was a plaza of multiple business) in the end i was issued a trespass by 2 police offers who pulled up on their squad cars and flashlights BEAMING as if i was about to get abducted which was notified from the manager of dominoes but i will save that story for TIFU...im still trying to enroll back in school for business admin but i still have my federal loan and the lease against me that these crooks keep calling me about and dont want to negotiate some type of payment plan. they want the whole thing upfront like i have a couple thousand to chuck over which i find illegal somewhat so now i have to look upon a lawyer
Anywho....
Its super long to get into but i will gladly respond to any inbox update request about my current living situation. I know people out there who have a hard on reading about someones struggle and what would they make out of it so no worries.
I just want to let whoever reading this know that i am 24 now and i do have a spouse of 3 years who knows of my situation and went through the whole abandon home ordeal for 7 months until i couldnt help but to see what she had to go through with me just to maintain but she still supports me and believes that i will become successful even though i cant do nothing for her(and believe me i cant at the moment) but i helped her buy a plane ticket to NY to stay with her family temporarily until either of us get situated and gave her half of my taxes($500). If she ends up finding a place before i can then im moving up with her but if not vice versa. what i am doing at the moment is currently residing in the abandoned home redditing away on the smart phone which i can barely afford but i guess we win some and lose some. I take a piss in a bucket which gets thrown out daily and take a shit in a fishing cooler with trashbags over to hold the feces when i throw it out(dont judge me). I rarely come out because of the noisy neighbors who could notified my parents about it. Im paying off my debts to get back on my feet and really trying hard to get my soon to be fiance a ring at least to show her how much i appreciate her even though i dont show it as much but its always something when it comes to my life.
I wont confirm my identity(who does?) because of many reasons but i come to a point in life i really dont care anymore. Going through certain situations change you but i promise if i become successful or somehow make it out i will reveal my identity. For me to get out of debt and successfully make something out of nothing is less than 20k which sounds alot but hardwork can make it happen i guess but in the world of business where are angel investors when you need them......
Tl;Dr I live in a abandon home which have been abandoned for 7+ years down the street from my parents. Im 24. College dropout. Customer service rep for Allstate. Oh yea and homeless....if you have any questions or advice feel free.
