have you ever been homeless or been on the verge of being so

if you did, how did you handle it? - i was homeless back in 2003 for a couple of months, fortunately the salvation army hostel took me in and housed me, they were so good, i'll never forget the salvation army.

Had a pretty lean first year or two out of college, especially once loan repayments began. Some of that was how I managed my money at 23 .. learned that lesson and with first raise or two did better. Was never on brink again.

Paid college loans in full .. took driving 5 to 8+ yr old cars and doing holiday and overtime coverage in the labs at the plant along with managing $$ from my raises and initial couple promotions. Not easy .. but hardly life long debt and I borrowed >50% of the cost at about equal interest to today's student loans.
