  • **Financial Situation**: $0 in savings, $8,000 in debt
    • **Employment**: Unemployed for 8 months
      • **Living Situation**: Living with parents at age 32
        • **Mindset**: Deeply depressed and hopeless

              "I was at my lowest point," Mike recalls. "I had been unemployed for 8 months, was living with my parents at 32, and felt like a complete failure. I had tried everything
              • networking, job applications, even starting a business that failed. I felt like giving up."
