i was there a few years ago. i was literally down to my last dollar.. a few times.

i lived day to day, and some days i had no idea how i was going to buy food or even put a few dollars of petrol in my car so i can go to work to make money. the worst of it was when i had no food in the house, no money in the account and no petrol in the car. I had 2 dollars (about 1.80 USD) in my pocket with payday another month away and i had to walk down to the shops to buy a tub of yoghurt and bread to eat, which was the cheapest thing in the shop. my mother cried when she found out.

those were tough, miserable times, but i learnt a lot from those days and it only made me stronger.

What i did to get out of the rut was network around with as many people as possible and finally i was offered a role overseas which led me to where i am now.
