Oh boy. Then you are in for a blast watching my videos through the years.
I started out moving into a camper during a blizzard after losing my job and home. I was NOT prepared but had nowhere else to go.
Later YT trolls started to follow me around and harass my family. I have had serious ups and downs. Now there is a study for you.
I think that a lesson that people can learn from your experience is that 'a small amount of planning (before things go sideways) can turn into a big help'.
Congratulations on making the best of the situation. Sometimes the decisions that we make are the best that we can do at that time.
Thank you. Yes, you are so right :)
