I did once, but I'm not inclined to explode with anger, I'll admit when I broke I cried. This was, almost six years ago. I made a move for a good job(maybe even career worthy), met a nice girl, about 9 months in got laid off, got broken up with, went broke, contacted my parents for help..and they couldn't, had some friends let me crash at their place while I tried to find a job and figure things out. Then around the 2 month point I got a $8.50 security officer job, just so I could keep afloat, went back to my friends place to share the news...and they said "that's good, because my sister needs a place to stay, so you need to be out by the end of the month." So, after the almost 4 month ass kicking that life sent my way, I finally had a sliver of "success", thinking I had a month or two to try and build a little "safety net" financially, and instead I had $15 to my name, and 1 incoming paycheck before I was out on my ass.
Which in hindsight, I mean shit happens, and I get it. The timing of that news, after a long string of "defeat", with the layoff, relationship, running low on $, the job hunt process, interviews and being so close with 2nd and 3rd interviews, only to be told "no thank you" ect. To finally reach something that wasn't a career but it was money , and immediately being told you may be homeless in 30 days was too overwhelming. I remember thinking, finally I had something, and after all that time and luck...I could potentially have to go crawling back to my parents begging, because I didn't have a place to live. Thus making all of that stress over the last few months amount to nothing... it was beyond devastating.
