For those of you guys that are down, broke and starving.... Go to 7-11 after midnight as there's a good chance they have "expired at midnight" sandwiches. We have to dispose of them as we can't sell them. Although my employees are not supposed give things away the majority of expired foods end up being given away to kids that come in or homeless.
John Yi oh wow thats really useful i never knew that
John Yi jhon Nice
John Yi My first job was at a stater Bros and I worked in the produce Dept our policy was when the furit was going to expire we had to let it sit in a box and rot before we could throw it away so no one would dig it out of the trash and eat it, I was working a closing shift and went to throw out the fruit that we had that was left to rot and I see a old lady eating the rotten food...ever since then I told the homeless please come see me and I will give them the stuff before it rots it broke my heart
@@mulisha-kv7hn that's so sad.
mulisha198627 good on you mate 👍👍
Hearing this story will make me NEVER say *what is a dollar?* again. I use to say this when my parents gave me a dollar for something. Now I realize I should be grateful. Thanks 🙏
Totally agree. A dollar will go very far
I like the one with two zero's after the little one better though
you're not giving yourself enough credit. Most Americans would not be able to survive if their next paycheck didn't come, you made it 2 months!! That is good especially for you being so young
This video really makes me want to save my money and not spend it so foolishly. I wish more people could see this video. Thanks Ahle!
Literally though!!!! This is reality and it’s just a eye opener
Very true
Don't buy dumb things and don't save your money, invest it instead.
Anybody who's been on hard times knows how she felt.
2 months without pay???? You should have reported them!
Video Starts At try running your own business.. 90 days between pay, and that's if they pay on time..
WezleyB Uh, yeah IF you're talking about a small business. However, you seem to have missed the part entirely where this was a big enough restaurant/bar chain that they allowed her to transfer between states and had a corporate structure. NO EXCUSES for them not paying on time nor fast tracking it because that's a huge labor violation and most likely as she mentioned it was in California it was a union shop. She was entitled to all her pay PLUS damages, I think?
In California, the company is liable for everyday they don't pay upto 30days and each day is worth your regular daily salary on top of the pay the company owes you
Yep, my wife was awarded 30 days wages as damages due to her employer not following California labor law. Not sure how long ago this was or what the statute of limitations is on labor claims but it might be worth looking into.
Hapa Designs same happened to me last year but it took almost a year to get it settled and receive the check
Please take some comfort in knowing that by donating plasma you literally saved people's lives =)
Amanda Blythe maybe
If it wasent for people donating plasma, my son would have died. He was disabled in the war and when he got home he was sick and had to have plasma, he was in the hospital river a year
@@debbiepotter6413 I have Rh- blood and it can complicate pregnancy. There is a shot you get after a pregnancy that is made from plasma. Thank you.
They totally took advantage of you because of your age. There is no way that a company would get away with not paying people for 2 months if they put their foot down! Not ok!!!
Eh...I don't believe this. If it were the case, no one would be allowed to get a job that involved taking care of others until the age of 25+. I was a RN at the age of 20. If I didn't have common sense, that never would have happened. Some people just lack common sense no matter how old they are.
J G troll
You say that common sense doesn't develop until the past 20-25. I understand the brain is still developing but to say that "until the age of 20-25 you don't have common sense" is a load of crap. Plenty of young people have common sense.You made a blanket statement covering everyone and I was simply saying it wasn't true.
Some states make employers pay a fine of the daily wage per day past a certain point, say 2 weeks. Something to consider.
I really want to dislike this girl but she makes it difficult.
Amber Canaan like really you cannot let that happen !
Someone I know once said, "A dollar ain't much, unless you don't have one". These words of wisdom came from and elderly Amish man I knew.
As someone who once had a lot of money I learned this too late.
ahle this is why i watch you im a 47 year old AA male living in detroit and this is the realest shit you ever recorded Respect
Wonderful video - I love how you don't blame anyone else (even when it should be placed elsewhere) and take responsibility for your life. You are inspirational!
This is probably the best video on RUclips I’ve ever seen
You sharing is powerful. You were not "talking in circles." It is part of your special journey. It helps to communicate your lessons so that others are receptive.
Quote of the day “showers saved my life” your a sweet girl who knows the value of money. Well done you. Great video!
My Wife and I started life together as poor college students at UT-Austin $60k in debt over 26 years ago. Thank you for helping us to remember and appreciate how important every cent really is. We try to remind ourselves (and our children, one of whom is in EE at UT-Austin now) of this fact every day. Always stay humble and grateful.
Guy thank you for teaching your children to be grateful and humble. I see a lot of kids (including my nieces and nephews) take advantage of what they have. Even DEMAND things from their parents instead of ask.
Conniving kids need to be taught the value of a dollar
Still free, H,A awesome. using your brain and your will power to survive is a gift, some people give up and end up in dark places. praying with you and sending you a hug, stay strong and stay free. 🙋
Bro, you're so responsible for even identifying your short comings. That is definitely how we grow to be better people.
So much appreciation for you sharing the come up
I love this Ahle and I love you for your radical vulnerability and your willingness to share the darkest moments of your life. Your emotions come through so clearly and your courage as well. You are truly an inspiration to many, many people.
You got my respect.. Love lots from the Philippines..
Im not understanding your saying you only get paid once a month? I mean if you get paid weekly then they dint pay you week after week so how often did you get paid???
I felt like a piece of crumb watching this. I’m pretty spoiled and spend my money so frivolously smh. Watching you tell your story brought tears to my eyes. This really makes you think. I admire your courage and strength and I’m so happy you’re in a better place. Thank you for this video ❤️
Ahle, I'm so proud of you and grateful that you shared this story. I can tell it wasn't easy. I can feel that sadness and frustration in your voice as you speak about this and I know that it took a lot for you to put this out here. You absolutely made the best of that situation and although you were young and "didn't know what you were doing", you owned that experience not only in how you handled it by how you chose to feel about it during, and what you're now taking away from it, not to mention that you're inspiring hundreds of other humans by sharing this. I feel like now I have so much control in knowing how you handled this and feel like I have so much power. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing. You inspire me more than you know. And one day I could see you delivering Ted talks and having some super successful low key business doing what you enjoy. You're amazing. Keep being you girl. I'll keep watching.
You are a rare and beautiful flower. It's almost unbelievable.
I might be mistaken but from what I can see in a few of your videos that I've watched, you are a pretty and young girl with an incredibly mature and positive mindset.
When I try to think about how it would have been possible that someone in your shoes and life experience could have the qualities that you seem to have, which pretty much directly equates to a real-life "diamond in the rough" type of trope, I can only assume that it's your innate intelligence combined with some crucial mental foundations given to you in your very early years of life, and an environment that followed where you basically had to sink or swim.
If I ever have a daughter, I wish that she would grow up to be as beautiful, intelligent, and mature as you are. You are the type of person who goes on to become a self-made millionaire, if that's where your interests are. Good job keeping it all together through tough times and having the best mindset and attitude you could have, while not falling into the numerous dark underground pits that people in those situations could have easily fallen into. And most of all, good job taking full responsibility for yourself, your life and your surroundings, at such a young age, without blaming the outside world such as your family, society, or country. So many in your age, who have been given much more than you in life, like to complain about and blame everything surrounding them, and end up sabotaging their own potential to overcome and grow. Your fundamental difference with them is what gives me confidence that you will most certainly be successful at whatever it is you want to achieve in life.
jackka82 aaa
You are a strong, intelligent young woman that I admire. Your resourcefulness has and will serve you well. God bless you, stay safe and keep up the positive outlook!
The teacher should mind her own business
This day of age it would be venmo lol!
the teacher should not be promoting copyright infringement. I can only assume that this cd was copy written and for her to recommend that the student accept money for the copied disks is illegal. what kind of teacher is this?? lol
I live in San Diego, I would love to know what place this is that would not pay you so I know not to spend my money there. This is horrible for an employer to do. Lawsuits have been won over things like this.
I have found myself in very similar situations as you and did a lot of the same things you did. You were just surviving. Doing what it takes is nothing to be ashamed of. I have greater respect for you now after hearing your struggles. You will definitely go far in life.
God bless you young lady. I am on the the verge of being in the exact situation.
Just randomly saw the title of your video and decided to check it out. I must say you are very open and seem very genuine. I think you have accomplished what most people don't even have to encounter in a lifetime. You also made it through situations where up to 90% of people would have caved in in some way. Maybe started doing drugs, drinking, prostitution or maybe all. Some would even committed suicide. You definitely are a survivor and have survival skills. I think most people will take something positive away from your story. Of course there will always be some idiot who will shoot you down or have all the answers of what they would have done but that's life. Anyways Just wondering , how has your life changed at this point? I mean Are you still continuing school and is there something you're definitely interested in as a career? I know you will do well at whatever you do because you have a strong flame inside you. I can see you becoming a leader of some sort. You are not a follower by any means. I mean you are probably too nice sometimes for your own good and humble. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having those traits but please don't be a doormat for anyone. Respect is earned, trust is gained. Not by fear but by virtue. I wish you well in your journeys! Don't stop being beautiful inside and out. It's a rarity these days and god knows we need more people out there with integrity. Take Care :)
Wow... that's one terrible employer. You are an incredibly strong woman. This is why I always keep 5months of expenses saved, you never know what's gonna happen.
Char so smart...no matter how much you earn... always need to save for that day... the ‘rainy day’ or whatever😝
Yeah exactly... rainy days always come eventually, they should be expected and prepared for. The best thing money can buy is peace of mind.
Char You're smart. Most of us, are poor savers. I include myself. 😕
It sounds like she had a lot of money saved. She probably had the typical 2 months you're always told to have in savings, since she made it through 2 months of not being paid before running out of money.
That's better than most people, especially when they're still in school. I think 2 month of savings is still way too low though, it's probably recommended by people because no one can save anyway, so it's better than nothing. I go with 5 months, because I was out of work for 5 months in 2008 after the crash.
Jeezus call HR, if they don’t have a HR department call the regional, if they don’t have a RM report a labor law violation to the state. It’s California, like this could have been solved in days.
Hahahahahahehehe... Ya get help from the state...
Totally but she looks young. I also worked at a restaurant and they would make us clocked out and then finish our work for HOURS after. And no one every said anything we were all super young and didn’t have anyone to say “yeah that’s illegal....” and we all needed the job and money so yeah I get it
Tough survivor keep it together even in the hardest of conditions,my salute to you.
You’re cool. I appreciate you
Had an epic battle of the wasps quite a few times in my Airstream. Shit is scary, I got nowhere to hide!
I’ve already watched this a while ago, but I believe it showed up again to show me I should get my self together
Thanks for this. This made me feel better now that I am depress. Thanks for making me feel grateful despite and inspire everything I am experiencing now. Keep inspiring people and spreading positivity. God bless!
Thank you for having the strength to share your story! Takes a lot of courage.

jim nichols I'm so stealing that ...fits my life right now
Lessons learned the hard way are not soon forgotten. These experiences, though very difficult, will make you stronger and wiser
Your an inspiration.. i am living out of my car rn.... if i make it alhie you will always be welcome cause you inspire me
You are an amazing individual and a great role model for my daughters. Your drive and determination is a trait rarely seen in today’s youth.👍
Ahle, get a Patreon account. Cali has strong labor laws. Unacceptable to wait months for your paycheck.
I wish I could find a place to donate plasma for $$. Last time I have blood, all I got was a cookie.
It's illegal in my area . It has to do with the AIDS epidemic. I knew a company that got around it, by giving gift cards.
Csl plasma is a place if you have one near by. The compensate your time
Donating blood is different from donating plasma. Companies use plasma donations to make medications and therefore pay for it. Look up Grifols for a large corporation that does this.
Most major cities have plasma facillities.
You’re so nice!!
The dollar situation I would’ve refused and been like nah He can take the cd back if he wants
She should've broke down so the teacher could feel bad. Then it'd be a reminder💡 that oh yeah. Sometimes students are broke... Then he would've been more aggressive all like 🤷🏻♂️ I mean, I did say it wasn't that big of a deal. 🤦🏻♂️ Jeezenums. Got the girl all breaking down, telling her whole life story & what not.
Its my second video that I watched from your vlog but I've already adore you on how you handle struggles in life. Amazing how brave and jolly you are., Keep it up.,!!
Thank you for sharing. It can happen to anyone of us at any moment We all need to count our blessings. Stay strong and inspiring. May GOD Bless You.
Thank you for sharing something so personal. Really helpful and helps me to gain a lot of easily lost perspective. Spending this morning thinking about all the blessings in my life and being thankful.
Hobo Ahle : You know there is a church on Parthenia and Sepulveda that gives out free food every Wednesday if you sit through a 1 hour of Preaching session, and its every week, you dont have to convert, you dont have to even say anything you go sit, listen bring bags or a market cart and get your grub, and the food is not expired or gross, it's just excess food that local markets donate to churches. So if you find yourself in this situation again I'd suggest looking into food banks, and church food bank, also there is food stamps and GR. Just suggestions from a fellow ex-homeless person.
I am glad you survived the ordeal. It's scary to hear that you have to dumpster dive but like you said it was out of desperation and you came out stronger. You are such an inspiration to all of us. Be safe and take care of yourself.
Thanks for sharing ahle,I know it's not easy talking about that publicly but it really makes you see how bad experiences make you endure and prepare for things that might happen.
I think that was illegal what your employer did to you.
very illegal, if she had pursued charges against that employer through the state D.A. office they might have been shut down, odds are she was 1 of many he has done that to over the years
Yup, and it was illegal what happened in the classroom as well (copyright infringement, and giving them guy money could land him into a lot more trouble than if he gave them away).
I so get you on the adventure thing - experience, I had to resort to that too.
it s the only mindset that can make you overcome the despair.
I love your logic a lot, and you re full of charm.
You are a very strong person. I feel like most college students would lean on their parents for financial support if they were in your situation. Maybe it was your pride, maybe your parents weren't in a good financial situation at the time to help, but whatever the case may be, the fact that you stuck it out and solved your problem on your own really added to your strength.
Knowing what is truly a need is an invaluable life skill, and it is the reason why I keep coming back to your channel. You help define the line between need and luxury that is being constantly blurred by people who stand to profit from the lack of division of the two and by people who didn't go through what you did, who don't understand the difference.
I just want to say I have a huge amount of respect for you. You are a courageous woman and it's to bad more people don't have a fraction of your character.
I hope one day we cross each other's paths camping one day. I would love to hear some more stories.
I respect you for being so upfront about situations. A lot of people dont understand what its like to be completely on your own and to really have less than a dollar to your name. Its happened multipule times to me where i looked at theres 55 cents and thats it. Most stressful thing in the world is knowing you have less than a dollar and no paycheck coming
Hey, this video reeally connected a lot of dots :) but all through this video I kept saying if you were vlogging back then (if that’s a word) we would have flooded your patreon 😁 💰 but still get your $$$!! But I admire your strength and pursuit of survival 🌊 Ahle NEVER GIVES UP!!! 💪
I've been an administrative assistant in the past and they can most definitely write a check right then and there. If they use a payroll service, there are steps on the payroll website to create a "manual check" for that kind of situation. That's completely outrageous and then they robbed you of two weeks of work on top of it! Pretty sure it's illegal, esp in California.
Dana Mayfield It's definitely illegal. Most likely they're a mom and pop operation that was struggling and took advantage of their staff
Hi, this is one of my favorite videos from you, I've been on the same situation such as yours for the most awkward reasons, and I know how it feels, I remember I had to stretch one bar of bread and one gallon of apple juice for food for a full week in one appartment I just moved in (in California of course) with no furniture whatsoever, sleeping in the carpet, no electricity and no running water, is so strange how miserable you can feel for not having those "basic things"
But hey those experiences make you so strong and thankful for what you have but also (and very important) humble to other people you encounter in your life.
I know you know blessings don't come falling from the sky if you don't really work for it, but still I say "blessings to you" :)
Thank you for your uploads
So sorry you went through that Sweetie I have been in the same situation so I totally understand Take care have a great week.
Takes a lot of courage to share such experiences! It's definitely an eye opener to people's reality and how things can get really screwed up no matter how much you think you've prepared yourself to be in the real world.
Good on you to overcome your obstacles and still remain positive!
Thank you for sharing. Why do employers do that? I worked for a company like that once. Never. Again. If a company didn't have my paycheck on the day it was due I reported them to the State Attorney General's office. It's one of the reasons I became an entrepreneur.
Stay strong and my prayers will always be with you sister! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Keep up the fight. Gods strongest go through the toughest experience's.. You good. Keep God first. He comes thru, the future he has for you is unimaginable
Francisco Carrillo you speak truth my friend. It makes you stronger and stronger.
I hope you were able to get some joy out of those experiences, too. Perspective. I do hope you're able to get to a place where you're able to live stress free regardless of what money or what backup plan you may or may not have. I hope you're able to suck in all the joy that there is for you on your journey and that every bit of it turns out to be a blessing one way or another. 🧡👍🏽🧡
You can probably make money doing live stream IRL. Bunch of people with less interesting lives do it and people pay to watch their useless content. I'm sure your van lifestyle is more interesting
I have been exactly where you were Ahle.. Dumpster diving.. Doner i9t .. Doughnut shops are best .. pay attention.. they toss pounds and pounds of doughnuts away . Donating Plasma.. It does the trick.. especially if you do it long enough to get into the antibodies programs. Is a noble gig, though.. helping others stay alive. Still have the scars from those massive needles. All it takes is one bad day.. and you have also learned ( from teacher) how people who have money and financial security have no idea how much a dollar is , when you don't have one.
Such high respect for you sis. You are literally the definition of the phrase, "anything is possible". stay strong and i know youll reach great things in life!! rock at it xoxo
LIFE GOES ON. THINK POSITIVE HAVE CONFIDENT ABOUT YOUR SELF. JUST DEAL WITH DONT HIDE. WHEN SHIT HAPPEN YOU CANT STOP.
I've been to that low before. All of the Above,.. I'm happy now.
i wish i had met smbdy like u. even if u were ugly your positive and responsible mindset is amazing
Can't believe you are going through all that hustle, there are some places where they help. I wish you to get a great job and get all the right people In your life.
Also, its always a good idea if you can keep proof of your hours so you can prove hours worked to the Department of Labor.
Your videos are the best. You are an inspiration. Keep it up.
you are awesome for being so truthful!!!!!!!! about your life to total strangers.
You have a great positive outlook. Our tough times make us strong and make us appreciate the good times when they come along. You have a good head on your shoulders kiddo!
I rode a bike for year's because owning a car is sooo expensive. And it's not like it was absolutely necessary to own a car.
Bantamdude Rodriguez - that totally depends on WHERE you live and the distance from your work/other obligations.
Same, but im still new to commuting on a bike, and I know how it feels like, its very difficult, its very tiresome, no joke.
You are such a wonderful, strong person. Sweetie, you deserved to get angry and should have been angry after the 1st missed check, definitely the 2nd missed check. We all want to be nice, but there are two extremes: Too nice & too aggressive. There is a middle ground which is to be assertive. Too nice means you are afraid to inconvenience or bother others, you want to be polite. Others see that and unfortunatly other people will take advantage and leave you w nothing. Too aggressive means you dont care about inconveniencing or bothering others, you want it now. Being *assertive* means that you realize your self worth, that your time is worth something and you deserve to be compensated in a timely matter, and mostly you deserve to have your needs and wants taken care of, so you assertively let others know your want/need in a friendly but direct way. You almost dont ask per se, but rather say, "I need you to do [ request].". You are worth it. Dont be afraid that someone might think you werent being nice or polite, ask and demand whats rightfully yours.Google "How to be Assertive", life changer. Its illegal for any company to withhold your paycheck for any reason, and they KNOW that it is, but if theres someone asking politely, and when they say No and you let it go, they know they can take advantage of you, AND they earn interest on YOUR money while it sits in the bank. Ask assertively, if they say no and its unreasonable, dont be afraid to push further. Dont be afraid to tell them its illegal. If they still dont, escalate up higher. If you dont get paid on one paycheck, they are *required* to add it to your next. I do. For example, "I have not recieved a paycheck for my February hours before I moved, I need you to add that to my next paycheck. Will it be added to my next paycheck? No, I dont want a maybe, I want a firm yes and im holding you accountable. Call over to their payroll and start the process right now while im here. Also I need a contact for payroll at the other officeas well to hold them accountable. If this isnt resolved, I will escalate higher. Its illegal to withhold payment for hours worked and you will be held accountable." Its semi-friendly and professional, but direct and assertive. People wont walk all over you. Learning to be assertive is a Life changer and will stop you from being walked on and taken advantage of, and instead you will take the reigns of your own life and power through. Best wishes!! (Like if you agree)
I just came upon your page and have now subscribed. This one here really brought me back to some very difficult times in my younger life of being young and broke and I had a baby to take care of. You are such a resilient young lady. You are truly a great inspiration for others going through tough times. I am so glad you came out from all that. Thank you so much My Hobo Life for sharing your story
Literally so strong.. could have closed my eyes for this video and you are most attractive person i have listened to in years.
Sorry you had to go through this, but it looks like this learning experience has made you very smart and experienced now. Great growth
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Your honesty and raw emotions are very much appreciated.
Hey, maybe you can teach english online. Some companies like Global voice english hires people who have no education degree. Maybe you can check it out.
You want to donate the computer and wifi?
The prof and the dollar should have been the biggest lesson out of this
Someone else telling you how to spend your cash
gene snyder I rarely carry cash. I would have just said, I don’t have it today. Then I would have talked to the guy after class cuz he was cool about it and explained the situation & said I would pay him someday when I could. And then do that.
First of all, nice as the guy was, he took cds from his work--tbeft--, and second, he violated copyright laws by copying someone's intellectual property. The prof should have explained that to the class. So many people think it's ok to copy music, books, etc. But those same people wouldn't be happy if it was their work and lost royalties.
Many churches have programs of helping anyone in any kind of need and it’s free also checking what state programs can help you if your stuck and need a hand. Girl you are tough beautiful and smart ❤️love your videos 👑
"That which does not kill you only makes you stronger." I'm very proud of you for surviving AND expressing gratitude. That shows true strength of character.
Inspirational! That $100 could be stretched far!
That's so true. I'm eating rice and canned beans for 50-60/month.
sorry man, if your able to cook the beans yourself it will be even cheaper though
Been there, done that. I've had times when I couldn't even afford the beans, and just ate rice.
ya, rice, beans and cheap veggies where you can find them : cheap and still fairly healthy (rice cooker salvation) :~)
It's okay hunnie, we all been there and most are just one check away from being there again.... hugs
B proud.. u accomplish more in ur young life then many under-the-Sun at ur age and older..
Please b safe.. amen
For future reference, you can go to food banks and shelters and they will feed you for free. Also most states have a number like 311 that provides info and free resources for people in a tough situation.
girl you do not sound entitled or like you looking down on anyone. i lost my momma 3years ago and my dad hasnt been in the picture for over 10 years. here in portugal when you are under 25, still in school and lost a parent you are entitled to a portion of their retirement money per month. because my brother was underage at the time and the court literally only gave me his custody a month before he turned 18, the government saw that as an excuse. he didnt have a legal guardian there was no one to give the money to. but i was 18 at the time and they said because my little brother wasnt getting anything it would be unfair for me to receive my part. it sounds ridiculous cause that meant that we didnt get any money for at least 3 years. and if i had been working we would lose the right to that money because we were capable of sustaining ourselves and so they wouldnt need to pay us the money they owed us. i was lucky to an extent. my mom had left us some savings we were able to pay the bills for 2 years and some months. i sold my moms car and that gave us a few more months of groceries and paid bills. the saving was to the max, we couldnt spend money on anything besides essentials. all the while i was trying to unlock this money that the government owed us. i would go to the place, i went to court i did everything i supposed to do. 3 years later i finally got my money, all that they owed, this means i now have savings and that we get our monthly check. but its barely anything. we have taxes that belong to 2 court cases that i have to deal with instead of my mom cause she's dead. we are about to lose our house because of those court cases, and we dont even fill the requirements to apply to get help renting a house because rents are way up and we dont even earn monthly 60% to cover the rent.... 60%... not to talk we would still have bills, insurance, groceries to buy and all the rest. im stressed i dont know what to do. there are no programes to help us. we dont earn shit and if i start working we'll lose the right to what we are getting now. plus part-times here dont pay much so i would have to pause university for an unknown amount of time. im really in a turning point in my life right now and i feel your story very deeply. thank you for sharing.
bold bluff girl in your position I would meet someone in school who has his own place and try to live with him, and bring my brother along. That way you can still save money and get the money you are owed. Maybe someone you think you might be able to trust?
Pay no attention to the other reply. Taking advantage of another is totally wrong. Be strong and stay positive, it will get better.
Who were you working for so I don't work for them.
Electric Poliville I think it was Starbutts.
She said it was a restaurant with a bar. Probably not Starbucks

I got to Albany NY in1996. Had nothing and slept ina bush down by the river while waiting for an agency to find me an affordable apartment. All that stuff made me strong and I made it through
The fact that she worried that people would think she was making a big deal out of nothing or feeling sorry for herself...
I would not have made it. Honestly. I would have given up, gone home, and thrown myself on my family's mercy. She was strong and creative and tenacious and she worked so incredibly hard. She is entitled to every emotion she experienced throughout that whole ordeal and I'm so glad her situation improved.
I mean damn, there’s resources out there. Churches? food pantries? Soup kitchens?
Why take a handout when you can push through? I've done this and made me a better person. I was offered resources, I felt there were people when less fortunate then myself. I would have felt bad taking from others who were worse off. What if I took and there was not enough for someone who perhaps had kids, if they couldn't donate plasma, ect. Seems selfish
Wow!...you always keep it real!...super awesome that you share your experience...you are pretty fukin’ amazing!...
You are quite a young woman. To experience life with typical people your age, it’s easy to see that they do not worry about these concerns of yours. To hear you, on every video I’ve watched, I am genuinely proud of you. I feel your attitude and work ethic are above reproach and you never make others suffer because you’re suffering. You’re still kind and quite concerned about others even when you are truly a bit down. Always, follow your bliss.
For other folks, some colleges/universities have food pantries for students in need. Ours requires you to have a student ID and is only opened on a couple of days a week but it’s non perishable food you can stretch out in between days. Also some churches do hot lunches or food pantries.
Youth and life experience can definitely land one in tough circumstances as I recall it did for me, even though I don't live in your cutthroat-capitalist country (unless you're a big bank or military contractor who is given trillions for nothing).
Most people would become somewhat hardened, as you seem to have, and cynical, which you've managed to avoid (I became both, to an extreme).
I value that you are so introspective, highly intelligent, and simultaneously expressive, and that's much of what I seek on your channel (I typically only listen to you rather than watch due to the distraction) but would love to see/hear you do more vids on technology, such as how to set up a bitcoin wallet and take direct donations ;)
I have some on my phone I could send in seconds, but you'd need to figure out how to turn it into cash, or spend directly, though of course these days I'm sure you're doing okay due to income from your hard work on RUclips (I'd hope at least 1k/month minimum).
Anyway, just a thought. It might help others if they knew how easy it is to receive money outside of the archaic banking system using crypto, and you're in the generation where it's inevitable you eventually use it for everything so might as well get started. That, and the fact that some of your audience are prime candidates for using this tech yet may lack information on how to start. So much fun watching intelligent people problem solve. Just think of the hits you'd get as well!
I wish I knew you, I wish you were my friend, I wouldn't allow you to do those things just to get some money, you deserve more than that really you do.
Enjoyed your stories. But wow, I’m surprised you didn’t go off on that first company. I think you handled that well. I don’t think I could have. But look at you now. Awesome and
motivational, hope the best for you ✌🏼
I train new people at my job and there was this one time we were on our break and I was grabbing myself food and he didn’t, and I asked if he wanted anything and he broke down and said “would you buy me like the cheapest thing on the menu? Anything? I’ve been eating one thing a day because I just ran out of money.” It’s incredible how ungrateful I’ve been for having a stable job and a steady income. I bought him food everyday I worked with him, and I hope there’s people out there who use their money to help others because sometimes a dollar is literally someone’s whole life
I've grown to really like your videos but now I must bow before you. I have always been very lucky with my financial situation, but I do recognise, that it is luck. Kudos to you and your maturity.
