Where were you in life 10 years ago and where are you now,?

[DexWest]

10 years ago, I hit rock bottom. Single, homeless, sleeping in my car every night, buried under $20k in credit card debt, trapped in the vicious payday loan cycle, and saddled with a predatory car loan of $18k at a crushing 24.5% interest. A college dropout with no direction, spiraling into despair.

Life felt like an endless storm I couldn’t escape.
Fast forward to today: I’ve built a fortress of stability with 2 years of savings tucked away in a high-yield savings account. I went back to school and graduated with not one, but TWO bachelor’s degrees. First in Homeland Security and Anti-Terrorism. The second bachelors is in cybersecurity. I’m completely debt-free, happily married to my best friend, earning a six-figure salary in a career I love, and spending my weekends exploring the magic of Europe—from the canals of Amsterdam to the vineyards of Tuscany.

If you’re reading this and feeling stuck, remember: Your story isn’t over. Rock bottom can be the foundation for your comeback. Keep pushing, one step at a time. You’ve got this. 💪✨ #FlashbackFriday #NeverGiveUp

I went broke 13 years ago. I worked my ass off at a crappy job with as many side hustles as I could manage working 24/7. Managed to build up some savings of around $600k then 6 years ago lost over half of that in a divorce. I just recently retired and I'm selling everything I own to travel full time. Truck lease is up in spring and then I'm off.

I guess anyone can be anywhere and sleeping in a car doesn't really mean all that much. Car today, house tomorrow.

I'm still basically in the same situation as 10 years ago just it's a little less stable..

Ten years ago, I was steadily building my career and transitioning from a student mindset to a professional one, laying the groundwork for future success. Now, in my early 40s, I proudly serve as a seasoned advisor, using lessons learned to guide others in education and career development. Life’s path brought me personal growth, professional fulfillment, and enduring balance. Your journey highlights resilience and determination—a reminder that with persistence, transformation is possible. Keep paving your unique path; your progress is inspiring.

Same place as now, probably poorer but mentally and socially much more destroyed. Last 10yrs were hell for me
