Last year I raised my family above poverty for the first time. A few years prior to that I: -Had fleas -Had feral rats in my home -Was on food stamps -Ate food the gas station threw away -Had a family member abducted and raped by a crime family’s son Been a long road.

Finally climbed above poverty last year. First time. It’s like conquering a mountain. Now I don’t have fleas. I talk with
@thegoswicks and@ChroniclesNate about my next financial steps. There’s no stopping now, gotta keep my kids free of this financial slavery.Show this thread -
Wherever you’re at, if you’re struggling or lost or afraid or even if you have fleas, there’s a way through. It may be damned hard work, but life exists on the other side. Don’t ever stop.
