I’m going to end up broke in a few months. Give me some tips on reducing the impact. What things can I do in advance? What are things I should know? Give me some financial advice too, if you can

      Now I’m a software engineer making six figures. I went from nothing to what I consider very successful, albeit with tons and tons of really intense trauma.

          I make $155,000 USD per year. When I was homeless, obviously I had essentially no money most of the time.

            @SystemDisc l don’t make anything because l don’t do any work.

            My philosophy is different from the others. If l work for money, l become a donkey.

            Work should become a source of entertainment for me. Does that make any sense to you ??

              Yes, but luckily I love what I do. So, I get paid and I get the benefit of doing what I want to do in life.

              And, with my money, I sponsor several impoverished children and give back as much as I can as often as I can.

              I also spend a lot of time volunteering at places that help those who struggle with addiction.

                @SystemDisc that’s it… Do what you love. That’s your primary payment. The money that you get is secondary. It’s your earning, nevertheless.

                Nice meeting you. I need to start of with my day. I need to find out where l need to apply myself.

                Night time for you ??

                  Yes, I’m going to sleep. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for being kind and curious.

          Yes, but it took decades and lots of very hard work. I nearly gave up several times. In fact, I attempted suicide more than once, so I guess I did give up multiple times. But, I survived and I’m glad. Overall, I survived a lot of abuse and violence. It’s been a very difficult life, but it’s finally peaceful and I have a lot of happiness today.

                @SystemDisc l’m learning to process pain within my body, and within my mind as well 🙃🙃…

                I would never consider suicide as an option…

                Defeat and being mocked at by the world is a better choice for me… Probably might serve as a living example for someone…

                    @SystemDisc suicide means termination. You’re giving up ??

                    Any harm bowing down to the world after being beaten up ?? Let the world enjoy the show… That way, you become the entertainer…

                    But spare your life… For God’s Sake…
