“Get a W-2 job, sell truck, then find a place to stay”
What Actually Happened
After a bad breakup, I lost my job and became homeless, living out of my truck. I make $3-4k a month but have $20k in debt and no emergency fund.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had a better emergency fund and more financial stability before getting into this situation."
