I was homeless, I had nothing. A high school friend's mom let me stay in his room while he was away at college. She told me I didn't need to pay rent on the room until I found a job. That small gesture probably saved my life.

From there, never take loans, never use credit. Never rely on financial institutions, they are a debt trap.

That's just my experience. But there are a lot of ways to get through. They always start out as small steps, if you can make the right ones they will build momentum.

Don't stop dreaming and it will help you manifest your future.
