(7,321 posts)Best man at my wedding was terrible with money and every business he did afterwards. Wife eventually left him. He moved up to Oregon where his parents retired and decided to give it a go. Turns out he had a severe mental health issue and refused to acknowledge it. Ended up homeless and living in a tent. He eventually did something stupid and ended up in jail.
When he was about to be released, he asked if he could stay. He got three square meals a day, roof over his head, a bed away from the elements, entertainment, etc. Sad really, that he thinks this is the best for him after two failed marriages, bankruptcies, failed businesses, etc. Showed a lot of promise in life in his early years, but life was not kind to him. Top it off, lived in a well to do neighborhood, good schools, plenty of privilege, etc. Where as myself, I was the opposite.
