I can't work like most people, I got cancer when I was 26 and it blew out my immune system (COVID-era was fun let me tell you!). I can't make more money than what I make, as I need a schedule that's flexible because I'm tired constantly. I utilize food banks whenever I can, I drive 25 minutes to work when I do, I have multiple paid off cars (because I buy them from auctions and repair them myself). The house was paid off 4-5 years ago, it was an almost-condemned write-off. It's still not even finished, we've still got concrete under the carpet (again, auctions) and no proper padding. I can survive on almost nothing now because I managed to scrape together around $100k in 5 years by taking advantage of every last bit of help I could get.

It's hard, but I guarantee people here are making way more than I do, with way healthier bodies.

I even had 2 years of non-stop code violation complaints from the neighborhood karens because I couldn't keep up with the yard in my condition.

Additionally, I've always been in poverty - I can't get a job worth a shit because I have no college, I could never afford it. What I DO have though, is friends who are real estate agents. They led me to real estate auctions and landed me this property.
