Circumstances pushed me to have a new life. I lost my job and my savings were only going to last less than one month. So I left and took my boyfriend with me. We volunteered on farms in exchange for a room and food.We worked in Vermont first on this gorgeous 40 acre farm that had sheep, cows, chickens, and bees. Then we decided to drive across the country to Oregon to work on another farm. Then another farm in Arizona. Then my boyfriend proposed and we got married in Las Vegas. Then we both found amazing jobs in Oregon again.
A year ago I was a bartender and working 2 side jobs to make ends meet. I was barely surviving and I literally worked every day. I worked 50 plus hours and still didn’t have savings or medical insurance. It was exhausting.
Now, I’m working in a field I always wanted to get into. I married an incredible man. I have health insurance, and even a savings account. Also, since we didn’t have many expenses, we used our stimulus checks to invest and we turned those checks into $20,000, and counting, in profits.
We were scared to leave, we didn’t know if we could make it. We were scared to invest our money, we didn’t think we could turn a profit. We kept being afraid of change, but if we had given in to our fears we would be back home, miserable, broke, and jobless. I’m glad we left. © advthjudarv / Reddit
