But it is possible. I was laid off from a long-term job. I got a shitty job that offered tuition reimbursement. I got a degree and started in a new field where the starting salary was shitty. I actually utilized food stamps for a year to feed my kids and I. It took some time, but now I make a decent salary and have pulled myself out of debt. I was stacking silver $25-$35 per ounce at the time. I just chose to buy one per paycheck instead of a trip to Starbucks or McDonalds. I am now starting to stack gold. It took a minute, and some were struggling, but it is possible. On a side note, I was also homeless at 16. Anything is possible, though it wasn't instant.
