What's the poorest you've ever been?

[calveless wonder]

Considering I've been self employed for most of my life, there have always been times where
I'm just totally scraping and don't have a dollar to my name. However I always found ways to get money in shortly after. Usually by my own means but sometimes it involved my parents helping me out.

The poorest I probably ever was though was when I first started doing mortgages in south Florida. I took a commission only job and had to support myself and my girlfriend. I must have lost 25 lbs or so and I became practically a holocaust victim. I remember my family's reaction when they saw me. I used to eat 1 meal a day while working 10-12 hours just because i coulrnt afford to eat. That went on for about 2 months until I finally got paid and closed my first few deals. The little money I had I spent on food for my girlfriend and our dog. I often starved myself so they could eat

When I was in elementary school, my mother used to take my sister and me to Grant's (a K-mart, but lower-end) because kids could eat free. We'd always have a sit-down meal at home for dinner (eating out is what rich people do) but during the day we scrounged meals where we could.

We'd go to BK to steal packets of ketchup ... then we wood add hot water to them to make soup

I grew up on welfare. While my father was alive he threw my mom extra money, so things weren't quite so tight. When he died he left us nothing, and things were bad. There were a couple of times my mother and I went shoplifting (usually for cigarettes). We'd run out of things, like margarine or milk and money wouldn't be coming in for another week, so we'd have to make do with Kraft macaroni & cheese made with water. I can remember not having money to pick up a piece of clothing at the thrift store. That situation lasted until my mother got a job that supplemented the welfare and then I started getting some money from participating in monthly Army reserve drills.

When I was first married things were very tight, too (we didn't have a phone for the longest time, not until I found part time work cleaning offices at night -- in those days you actually needed to put up a $200 deposit when you were getting a phone line for the first time) but never quite as bad as that first six months after my father died. There were a couple of times I had to leave groceries sitting at the store because I was short by a buck or so, going home, digging through the couch to find change.

Wow, WTF. There's been times that somebody was a dollar or so short, and I'd tell them not to worry about running back out to their car or home. Then again, we're talking about $3000 transactions here, but still. Most stores have a $10 over/under limit per day of variance, giving a dollar away every now and then doesn't matter.

Lived on the streets for some time. Got affiliated with gangs, tryed getting out, was low on money and moved around with no home.

Was homeless for a few weeks and ate bacon flavored dogfood in a field. This was only about a year ago.

Now im living on 405 dollar a month studio apartment, still cant afford it and have to bust my balls and beg people to take my designing services.

I designed most of Ruthless Supplements, am designing NTBM Canads, and some work for extreme peptide.

Really need more money or Im going to be homeless again. Its rough, but im trying my best.

Thanks to Mitch and Gawd whove really helped me out, and Nate for a great oppertunity

Sounds like the kind of guy I'd like to design thing I ingest.

I really hope you mean labels or something.
