1/ I didn’t claw my way out of poverty and debt because I found peace.

I got out because I was f*cking angry.

I was angry I'd let it happen to myself, angry I went to bed hungry, angry everyone seemed to have things I didn't, angry others learned about finance when they were young, angry banks got bailouts and used them as bonuses for CEOs, angry I didn't have healthcare…

I chewed stale bread for dinner (rationing my butter). And there were all these smiling people everywhere I looked. They had shiny yoga pants, drank $9 yerba mates, ate fish, traveled, guzzled wine, and dallied.

I knew they weren’t any smarter than me (a lot didn’t seem to have a single original thought in their heads).

So what were they doing that I wasn’t?

The world of money was draped in gauze. It was a game, and I didn’t have the rulesheet. 🧵

🤯 As always. I have read your story a couple of time and still amazes me how you dragged yourself out of that deep dark place! I seemed to have somehow shovelled my anger away somewhere and just made peace with things. May be I need to find it again!
BTW found this fella in London.. Must be your fan 🤣🤣

Lol. Such a great helmet 😅🙏 Lots of my life experiences sucked, but I couldn't have made it anywhere without them... in retrospect, the hard times almost always = the unlock for the good times
