I picked up and left with the promise of a job that I landed while on vacation.
When I got there, no job. Company dissolved. So I started as a delivery guy making $4.35/hour... from $125/hr consultant down to busting my hump delivering packages. Boss let me live in his attic until I could get on my feet. I lived with him for 2.5 years. Sucked...but that was 12 years ago.
But now I own a car, own a 1 bedroom apartment in Manhattan, and I work for a very cool company.
Save money... save money... when you think about having that beer... think about it twice...
my wife and I are hoping one day to do the same thing overseas... and it's all about saving money saving money saving money.
