35 was about the age I was completely broke. The shop I worked at closed down, I was hit with a medical emergency, lost my house, and had nothing in my pockets or bank account.
Now, half a decade later I have 6 CNC machines running with 3 excellent tool and die employees and expanding my business in to Easter Europe. Ma is absolutely right. Being broke is a situation you can change. You don’t have to sit around and feel sorry for yourself. It is a sad state of affairs so many people are on welfare in this nation. So many CHOSE to be on welfare. AND they vote for their slave masters that continue to give them free stuff. AND we’re importing the world’s poor to put on welfare.
Well I wan’t 35 when life handed me blows beyond what I myself could handle....when you’re solo and life hits like that you go down pretty fast.....But I fought hard...even sold my furniture from the front yard..then my home until all left was what could fit in my car...and me.
Funny thing, when all the “stuff” you’ve accumulated is gone it ends up quite freeing....I moved..got a job in less then two weeks...(told them I’d work straight commission)...and within a month had a small apartment...from then on it was back on my feet.
Today I have a small apartment...very nicely done...’more’ than ample income, good savings, and will be fully debt free by the end of this year!....and I did not get any welfare assistance throughout, though I understood I could have done so for a time.
I think faith in God makes it ‘all’ possible....as long as you co-operate with him.
