Finally have my own apartment.

It has been forever since I had my own space.

Yes I finally worked long enough to pay my way and put away the 1800 needed for a 2 bedroom.

If I can express the hardship of living day to day. Keeping it together paying my fair share at places needing rent and moving to a position of my own rent in 4 months. 

To be real I was homeless in New haven and dug my way back to an address.  Long hard road worked 27 of 31 days in July to make the break through moment of first and security. 

Anyone who attempts the feat of private housing best of luck it is a suck pill . No gimmies...  and at times i felt i have truly gone mad.... wow noth8ng vut a blanket a table left from the last tenant and complete void of any thing but me two bags of vlothes and 50.00 I could not be happier today....

Congrats, bro! Now you just have to stack some loot for the Maine winter.

Thank you goose.and stump 

 If you ever find yourself stuck here

I will always have a plow chain a blanket pillow and a plate of food. 

For as long as you might need.

great work Brother 

Be proud of yourself !!!

Survivorman - Big Congrats

Congratulations...this is a GREAT step up the ladder, hopefully many more positive steps follow this one. At this stage of life as we get older you really don't want to be "out there". Too many things have changed. I've heard so many stories from fellow Veterans that have been homeless and it's not pretty. I'll make sure to ask the Big Guy to keep you in his stead. 

Best thread about "winning" that I've read today.. 

Small steps.... Small steps.. 

Although, the only problem is now, that you're "plugged back into the system.."

Bills after bills. You work to? Pay bills..  Then again, I view myself as a pessimist and am somewhat blessed financially.

Yes did it differently this time.

Didn't hustle trust so much easier if I delt.

Didn't do any of it on the shy straight up worked saved put away and through providence, perseverance made it. 

If any think that it is impossible , I can show it is possible . Takes guts discipline and a job. But today in America I can agree you can pull tour self up by your boot straps.... 

Even through heart surgery....

As for the place got a table and chair bought a washer and dryer on credit.  Putting the place together.... 

Take one day at a time because none of us are guaranteed any more than that nature.

Hang with good people who will help you up rather than scumbags that will tear you down.

I realize you know all this but sometimes we all need a reminder.

 Good work, sir. We can all appreciate someone working themselves out of a jam.

If you're happy, I'm happy bro.

If you happen to buy some used furniture, don't ever buy from somebody that smokes. It's like bringing an ashtray into your space....

Congrats nature!  

Wow.  A very rare Allbees sighting! 

WTG God bless brother. My motto has always been.... left foot right foot   keep on truckin

Good job. Way to go, never give up! Proud of your effort and you will succeed. 

Way to go! Standing beside that bronze cat @ Foxwoods was your good luck charm . Don't know how to help but would sure like to. I will think on it. Good luck going forward.

I should start a go fund me for you to pay those things off- I'd post a link to this thread

I'm in!   

well done, keep putting money away
