About The Poverty Escape
Living in poverty my whole life was normal until I realized how it's possible to become wealthy online. I learned about passive income in 2008 while working as a waitress for Pizza Hut, so immediately I decided to dedicate my life to finding a way to experience a life of freedom. I quit my job thinking I'd found my golden ticket to wealth and found myself royally screwed. Unfortunately, the idea of earning real passive income online was nothing more than a dream that mocked me for nearly 10 years.
I was fortunate to earn decent money as a how-to writer from 2010 to 2012, but that opportunity ended and I was forced to live in a park in Phoenix for three months. Soon after, I moved back in with my parents in Kansas for the third time (as an adult) and had to take a job as a convenience store clerk. At that point, my dreams of becoming a successful online entrepreneur were dying by the minute. I managed to get a $.25 raise, earning a whopping $7.25 and felt like a completely failure in life. Soon after, I worked briefly at another convenience store, had a mental breakdown because I couldn't stomach it anymore, and then quit on the spot.
My financial situation got a little better mid 2013, when my boyfriend and I decided to move back to Chicago. I landed a decent clerical position for a non-profit organization. I started out at $8 an hour and held the position for over three years. I had also managed to pick up another low-paying writing gig that, when combined with my job, paid all the bills. After several raises through those three years, I worked my way up to $12 an hour. In 2015, I had to pick up an appointment setting job from home to earn more money. So, that meant I had to commute to my job downtown and then come back home and work online for another four hours. Working two jobs and a side writing gig was physically exhausting, and the whole time I knew people were earning fortunes online with affiliate marketing, blogging, and ecommerce.
So, I took a chance and moved (without a car) to a town I had never even visited before. I am currently working as a freelance virtual assistant while gradually working my way out of poverty each day. After numerous evictions, homelessness, and very poor credit, I am 100% committed to escaping poverty. It's not an option, it's a must. And it's a journey that has its ups and downs, but giving up isn't an option.
The Poverty Escape isn't just my journey out of poverty, but it's also dedicated to everyone who is stuck in a dead-end job or poverty and looking desperately for a way out. There are many ways out of poverty; the hard part is finding a way that works for you and then remaining focused on achieving success. My biggest setback to escaping poverty -other than having to work time-consuming jobs- was remaining dedicated to a way out of poverty. It takes persistence, dedication, and thick skin to get out of poverty. You'll come across many people who will try to distract you or make you feel guilty about seeking a better lifestyle, but if you knew right now how amazing your life will be in the future, believe me, you wouldn't want to waste another minute in poverty. Do it for yourself, your family, and your future self.
