Sometimes it’s scary but it can also feel hopeful to get out of a bad situation and try to find something new. Not everyone follows the same path, I’m doing okay now but behind on retirement savings compared to similar aged colleagues because i didn’t really know what I wanted to do through my 20’s so I mostly worked part time jobs and lived with roommates. I enrolled in college taking on a ton of debt at 28, but there were a few other older students in my program I got along with well and after graduating with a STEM degree was able to find something full time where I could start saving instead of living paycheck to paycheck. If you’re hitting hard times and skipping meals check for local support programs like food banks, it also becomes much harder to find work without an address or phone number.
