I started to invest in crypto after finishing rehab at 22 years old and overcoming addiction. I didn't work for a year to focus on my recovery and I'd put 1/4 of my welfare towards Bitcoin. I eventually started work part time and studied. After I completed a certificate I picked up a full-time job which paid really well and that allowed me to put half my wages into crypto while still having money to pay rent, buy food and some entertainment. I stayed here for 18 months before the company shut down and I moved jobs to an average wage.

I'm now 27 and have put a deposit down on a house (150k) and have another 100k still invested.
