Well, I’ll make the story a bit more interesting for you, but before I do, I’ll repost a poem I posted in the video thread a couple of weeks back. It’s not my drive, but a very good description of my drive.
Like I said in my original post in this thread, I am paycheck to paycheck. I am so tired of it. It took me more than a year to save up for a road trip I took in 2019 with my kid and one of his friends. I don’t have a lot of bills, I just don’t make much money. It was a $3500 trip. I bet that’s nothing for some of you, but that’s quite a bit for me.
So after I was fed up with the guy was supposed partner with, I adjusted a few things, had a real life conversation with my kid and I took a leap of faith.
I gave up my place to live and the expenses that come with an apartment. It was the only place I could cut. I wired up my vehicle to run an inverter and ever since May 22nd of 2020, I moved into my SUV. I talked with the managers of a Walmart, the Bedford Police Dept and I sleep at night in the parking lot while working 6 days a week. Everything is paid off except the truck, but I put a big down payment on it. I’m the happiest I have been in a long time and I KNOW I’m going to absolutely change my kid’s future.
I have everything I need for the business now to start slowly. I’m in no rush. I will soon, within a month or two, have a place again. I could always afford it, but I couldn’t do both. I’ll be operating out of my house until I get the business to where it can support me 100% and I’ll see where I can go from there.
