What's the lowest you've been in your life financially?

I had to pick up a second job at Wendy's to pay for my kid's hospital bills. One day after pulling a double shift all night and then going to my Wendy's job, some asshole ordered some crap for $6.34. I had been up for about 48 hours straight and just couldn't figure out how much change to give him.

I give this 10/10, since a separate thread was not started.
 
I was raising VeggieFrog ... with no alimony, no child support and no givernment handouts... I do not have a college degree and was bartending to pay the bills... since I wanted to live in an expensive area where the schools were good, we had to do without a lot of stuff...

But she never complained, never asked me for stuff she knew i couldnt afford and never made me feel bad about my choices in life or embarrassed about what I did for a living.

Those times were rough, but also the best.

Once I lived in a house in the winter and my cat was so cold that he had to stay on my leg to keep warm. He never liked to get too near to me and any other ppl.

Once when I was dead broke and had no money and didn't even have money to eat for the foreseeable future I walked from my crappy $300/month apartment that was furnished with milk crates and 2x6's with a mattress on the floor to the phone booth down the road so I could call my Dad to ask if he could drive over and loan me some money. I looked down and right between my feet was a $20 bill there in the phone booth.
 
i'm still using an athlon XP 1800+🙁

seriously, i had trouble finding employment during the
recession in the early 80's. i was never on the streets, but
i have a lot of sympathy for people who are.

LOL! 10/10 for me.
 
I was homeless for nearly a year just after high school because of a drug addiction.

I couldn't even live out of my car, because I didn't have one. I had a motorcycle.

I quit the drugs, cleaned myself up and joined the army.
 
I ran away from home in high school. And I made a lot of friends, mostly cons, dealers, boozers, and 18 karat pimps. I eventually screwed up and did a lot of time for prostitution. I got out, and went right back in after stealing a TV. 32 years later, I'm starting my life fresh. I'm going back to high school, living at home, and learning all sorts of new things about my body.

So what do you do now KarenMarie?
 
lowwest financially was probably in college. I was working 25 to 30 hours per week and had to live paycheck to paycheck.
