| I have been bankrupted once. $ < 1, people coming home to claiming money, the shame of going back living to my parents at 36. It was hard. I was my boss, I did stuff right. I just did not expected customers to lie about the idea of paying me. I lived in a corrupted country where there was «legal way» of claiming back your money, but only if the company did not bankrupted, and justice was given by «peer» justice where my customers were the «judges». This country is called France, the «arbitration» system is inherited from middle age and has never been reformed. After personnal bankrupcy you are just down. You can rebound if you have family support, and you will need it. I left my country. I am now a stranger in a stranger land with all the side effect it has (I am being paid less than the authorized minimum for stranger, preventing me from asking permanent residency). I still have no money, 5 years later I am still vulnerable and fearing the final blow that will definitly take me down. But, I am also resolved, pissed of, and people call me a troll. It won't kill you, it won't make you better or stronger. You might have insomnia, and trust issues, and maybe some doubt about justice. However you will discover that having rich parents is the real way to get rich. And that poor people are always sided from society. Of course I was blamed for everything that happened to me by all kind of «nice persons». I am stil alive and kicking and resolved. But it was, and it is still hard. And if I am a troll, it might be because I feel I am less of a troll than the society we are living in. I have no regrets or remorses. But I don't believe in the BullShits about being smart and a hard worker for succeeding in business. You have all my support dear superpi. Surprisingly it won't kill you, and you are young. You still have a life to live, and you may discover it is wonderful. Actually, I am happily married even if fleas and bedbugs are preventing me from sleeping in my north american flat, even if I am broke, I enjoy life with my scratches from all the bugs bites... If you can find a job in a government administration: get it in order to rebuild your savings and stabilize your situation. PS: there are a lot of «nice persons» on HN. Your only crime is you were born poor, that is the reason of your failure. |
