I had great finantial sucess almost right out of college. I’ve had great homes, beautiful clothes, and had a wonderful life that I was very proud of.
All of that came to a sceeching halt in 2009. My business tanked and sales just STOPPED! A few months later I lost my life savings almost overnight. I am now making 1/10 of what I was making 3-5 years ago. I’ve lost almost everthing I owned. I was evected from my home, I am now renting a room from someone and even in danger of being evicted from there because I can’t afford my part of the rent. Also I’m hiding my dog in the room and the roomate doesn’t even know he’s there. I can’t emotional deal with losing him as well. I keep him at a dog daycare while at work which is more money I don’t have.
My family, who viewed me as compitition, is doing nothing to help and is almost happy to hear that I’m not doing well. My mom has even said,” oh well, just get a guy to take care of you”(if it was that easy I would have done it)
I don’t know what else to. I can only sponge off people for so long. I’ve lost friends and a serious relationship over this. I even attempted suicide last year. I don’t feel that way currently, but I’ve done everything you’d think would elevate my situation with no results. I’m spending all my money on trying to make money.
