For those of you guys that are down, broke and starving.... Go to 7-11 after midnight as there's a good chance they have "expired at midnight" sandwiches. We have to dispose of them as we can't sell them. Although my employees are not supposed give things away the majority of expired foods end up being given away to kids that come in or homeless.

John Yi My first job was at a stater Bros and I worked in the produce Dept our policy was when the furit was going to expire we had to let it sit in a box and rot before we could throw it away so no one would dig it out of the trash and eat it, I was working a closing shift and went to throw out the fruit that we had that was left to rot and I see a old lady eating the rotten food...ever since then I told the homeless please come see me and I will give them the stuff before it rots it broke my heart

Totally agree. A dollar will go very far

[@acgillespie]

I like the one with two zero's after the little one better though

[@coffeecram9447]

I totally don't mean this as a jab at you, but for people in this situation where they are not getting paid, don't sit there and be nice about this. This isn't about being polite. It's illegal for a company to withhold your check. You can take legal action for that! Contact human resources or the owner if there is no HR. I'm only saying this because I know some young people watch this video and I don't want them to think that they're being rude if they do this. This isn't about being cordial or nice to the company. This is just unacceptable behavior by them.

[@coffeecram9447]

But I'm really not meaning to criticize you. I have mad respect for the things you've been through and how you've managed to live your dream life regardless of them.

[@nightfangs2910]

no you contact that states D.A.'s office they WILL take action believe me

[@coffeecram9447]

ron sylvia exactly! You can take civil and criminal action. They were really taking advantage of young people here.

[@nightfangs2910]

yep sadly it's very common the D.A.'s office took immediate action when i filed a formal complaint with them, my former employer fired me owed me 52 hours of pay and was refusing to pay me, after i filed the complaint 2 days later my owed check showed up in the mail along with my unemployment paperwork

[@coffeecram9447]

ron sylvia I'm so happy they helped you right away! This happened to my friend and they wouldn't help her until she tried all of the administrative remedies available to her. Which she did end up getting her money but I feel like it would have been spat along if the city was backing her up

[@fuchadancer94]

you're not giving yourself enough credit. Most Americans would not be able to survive if their next paycheck didn't come, you made it 2 months!! That is good especially for you being so young

You are ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS and a breath of fresh air.... I thought I might cry hearing your thoughts and voice convey the raw emotional reality of only having .33 cents... I can remember buying .74 cents of gas hoping even that would get me where I needed to be... I especially remember the kind stranger who was cognizant of my situation and giving me $10.00 to "fill up" the tank... omg! I was overwhelmed with gratitude... that was 30 years ago... and it still makes me emotional... God bless you be safe out there... I would probably freak out if my daughter was doing what you are doing, but you seem to have it together.. and THAT is priceless!!!

[@videostartsat4464]

2 months without pay???? You should have reported them!

[@WezleyB]

Video Starts At try running your own business.. 90 days between pay, and that's if they pay on time..

[@DDELFIERRO]

WezleyB Uh, yeah IF you're talking about a small business. However, you seem to have missed the part entirely where this was a big enough restaurant/bar chain that they allowed her to transfer between states and had a corporate structure. NO EXCUSES for them not paying on time nor fast tracking it because that's a huge labor violation and most likely as she mentioned it was in California it was a union shop. She was entitled to all her pay PLUS damages, I think?

[@marineVaviator]

In California, the company is liable for everyday they don't pay upto 30days and each day is worth your regular daily salary on top of the pay the company owes you

[@billjohnson69]

Yep, my wife was awarded 30 days wages as damages due to her employer not following California labor law. Not sure how long ago this was or what the statute of limitations is on labor claims but it might be worth looking into.

Right...like why would her mom not help her when she is doing her best and is just in a tight spot momentarily at that time...like why wouldnt a mother be there for their child if this unfortunate circumstance ever happened? If i was a mother i woukd be keeping tabs on my daughter and i would certainly want to know if she was ever in a situation like this so that i could send money to her so she didnt worry about anything at all. Especially since she is in school and working and is a bright intelligent responsible sweet girl. This honestly upsets me. Where the hell are her parents? I know she is an adult but holy crap, im sure they couldve spared some money for her to be okay....

[@sheree2985]

Kylie Willson Some people's parents can't regularly spare money. Some parents are in tough situations themselves. Personally, my mom would be worried sick and try to get me to consider something else. I am considering van living in the future because I don't like living with people as I've had very unfortunate experiences in this and I want to save money and not be tied down. This is just my view.

[@AmberCanaan727]

They totally took advantage of you because of your age. There is no way that a company would get away with not paying people for 2 months if they put their foot down! Not ok!!!

[@AmberCanaan727]

Eh...I don't believe this. If it were the case, no one would be allowed to get a job that involved taking care of others until the age of 25+. I was a RN at the age of 20. If I didn't have common sense, that never would have happened. Some people just lack common sense no matter how old they are.

[@AmberCanaan727]

[@AmberCanaan727]

You say that common sense doesn't develop until the past 20-25. I understand the brain is still developing but to say that "until the age of 20-25 you don't have common sense" is a load of crap. Plenty of young people have common sense.You made a blanket statement covering everyone and I was simply saying it wasn't true.

[@Bum_Hip]

If your employer does not pay you when you are owed, you call the labor board. PERIOD. You should have, and maybe still can file charges against this chain.

[@nightfangs2910]

no the labor board will do nothing who you call or walk into their office is the local district attorneys office and file a complaint, i was fired from a job who refused to pay me my final hours owed called the D.A. office had my check and unemployment paperwork sent to me the next day

[@Bum_Hip]

That is one way to go. I am glad it all worked out for you. The Nevada Labor Board got me paid with one email when I had my issue. The real point of my comment is to never let an employer walk all over you.

[@soulife8383]

I worked for a place that ended up going through some struggles and i didn't get paid for a month, so I quit. I filed unemployment, but when they called me for the interview and found out that I quit, they said that I couldn't collect any unemployment. But as soon as I explained that I hadn't gotten paid in a month, they immediately jumped on a 3 way call with my ex employer and asked if it was true. As soon as they said yes, they told them they had 1 week to pay me my back pay, or they were pursuing legal action. And I was immediately accepted for unemployment. About 5 days later I got a call to come pick up my back pay, and the owner wrote me a personal check for what I was owed, mad AF while he did it.. So there def are legal options for that scenario..

[@keithjohnson5398]

Yep, took my employer to the labor board (a school) for non-payment for work I did and it was easy to do. But you'll want to do it before you're totally out of money. You file online, they'll call or write to let you and your employer that there will be a hearing at their office. So its like a warning to let your employer know you've filed and it might be a wake up call for them to pay you in order to avoid the hearing. We had the employer and I showed them the paper work that showed work I did unpaid. And they informed my employer to pay me now or there would be a court hearing and they'd lose and it would cost them more.

[@sallypickering6223]

She clearly says she was young, naive, and didn't realise what her options were.

Thank you for sharing your story. I've been in a situation during college where I had literally had $8 for food for the next two weeks. (My two roommates decided to move out without telling me, and I ended up paying the full rent.) It was very eye opening and I ended up just eating bread too. Lol The situation definitely made me view money differently. One thing I did after graduating was continued to live like a poor college student even as I built up my career. I was able to pay off all my debts and buy a house. It's really hard but as long as you see things in a positive light you can make it happen.

[@MikeTheGamer77]

Was your roomate's name on the paperwork for the apartment? If so they are legally resonsible for their portion of the rent if they move out without notice. I had to take a roommate to court for this very reason. He thought he was going to get away without paying his half of the rent OR the electricity bill which was in his name. needless to say it worked out in my favor.

Good video. Money comes and goes. I have had periods of being broke, and homeless, but, for some reason, it has never bothered me. I have always worked, one way or another, and yes, there were plenty of times when the income was just not enough. It never frightened or bothered me. I have to say, if someone held up my pay for two months, I would have already had them in court for a month, but we are different people. One time, many years ago, I was in the subway in Boston. It was winter, and the buskers were working the underground. On that day, there was just one girl, playing her guitar and singing, and she was great. I stopped and listened, then dug all my money out of my pocket. I had about a dollar in loose change, and that was all. No bills, no bank accounts, no credit - just that small bit of change. I put it in her guitar case and apologized for not having more. Some years later I saw her face on an album and recognized her. It was Tracy Chapman. When I think back to those times, I never think about being broke - I only think about meeting Tracy Chapman.

That is an error a mistake made on purpose that you should have not let go the first time it happened. When your first check did not appear, you should have contacted higher ups in the company to report the manager, and get your money back.

[@jackka82]

You are a rare and beautiful flower. It's almost unbelievable. I might be mistaken but from what I can see in a few of your videos that I've watched, you are a pretty and young girl with an incredibly mature and positive mindset. When I try to think about how it would have been possible that someone in your shoes and life experience could have the qualities that you seem to have, which pretty much directly equates to a real-life "diamond in the rough" type of trope, I can only assume that it's your innate intelligence combined with some crucial mental foundations given to you in your very early years of life, and an environment that followed where you basically had to sink or swim. If I ever have a daughter, I wish that she would grow up to be as beautiful, intelligent, and mature as you are. You are the type of person who goes on to become a self-made millionaire, if that's where your interests are. Good job keeping it all together through tough times and having the best mindset and attitude you could have, while not falling into the numerous dark underground pits that people in those situations could have easily fallen into. And most of all, good job taking full responsibility for yourself, your life and your surroundings, at such a young age, without blaming the outside world such as your family, society, or country. So many in your age, who have been given much more than you in life, like to complain about and blame everything surrounding them, and end up sabotaging their own potential to overcome and grow. Your fundamental difference with them is what gives me confidence that you will most certainly be successful at whatever it is you want to achieve in life.

Thanks for sharing your stories about money problems. It made me think of my own when I was in college. There was a time where I survived on granola bars, lived in my car, and donated plasma also. It made me the thrifty person I am today. Your life experiences have made you stronger and better. I’m glad you are one of few people brave enough to publicly address them.

[@CryptoExplorer]

You are an amazing individual and a great role model for my daughters. Your drive and determination is a trait rarely seen in today’s youth.👍

[@newffee]

Just randomly saw the title of your video and decided to check it out. I must say you are very open and seem very genuine. I think you have accomplished what most people don't even have to encounter in a lifetime. You also made it through situations where up to 90% of people would have caved in in some way. Maybe started doing drugs, drinking, prostitution or maybe all. Some would even committed suicide. You definitely are a survivor and have survival skills. I think most people will take something positive away from your story. Of course there will always be some idiot who will shoot you down or have all the answers of what they would have done but that's life. Anyways Just wondering , how has your life changed at this point? I mean Are you still continuing school and is there something you're definitely interested in as a career? I know you will do well at whatever you do because you have a strong flame inside you. I can see you becoming a leader of some sort. You are not a follower by any means. I mean you are probably too nice sometimes for your own good and humble. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having those traits but please don't be a doormat for anyone. Respect is earned, trust is gained. Not by fear but by virtue. I wish you well in your journeys! Don't stop being beautiful inside and out. It's a rarity these days and god knows we need more people out there with integrity. Take Care :)

[@spam7738]

Omg you've seriously had it so bad, breaks my heart. I love your honesty. You have been so strong through this all.

[@ronaldgates7719]

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger you made it through the tough times so you can look back and really enjoy the good times. Peace be your journey

[@Micoolaw]

You’re cool. I appreciate you

[@lastsamurai808]

I have found myself in very similar situations as you and did a lot of the same things you did. You were just surviving. Doing what it takes is nothing to be ashamed of. I have greater respect for you now after hearing your struggles. You will definitely go far in life.

[@Cjeoxje]

You are a very strong person. I feel like most college students would lean on their parents for financial support if they were in your situation. Maybe it was your pride, maybe your parents weren't in a good financial situation at the time to help, but whatever the case may be, the fact that you stuck it out and solved your problem on your own really added to your strength. Knowing what is truly a need is an invaluable life skill, and it is the reason why I keep coming back to your channel. You help define the line between need and luxury that is being constantly blurred by people who stand to profit from the lack of division of the two and by people who didn't go through what you did, who don't understand the difference.

[@StyledbyRai]

So much respect. So many young adults unfortunately when hit with difficult times turn to horrible things that put them in even worse situations. 👏🏼 I’ve done it so I’m glad that you are out there inspiring others who may be going through something you have gone through! 💕

[@Lahud33]

If you hadn't explained the situation you went through I would had said that this was too much drama but I have more respect to you now.I could never have imagined what you went trough some times we have to experience a lot of trials and learn by our own to make things different, suffering makes you stronger and wise.I have much more respect for you now Ahle.

[@HylianCucco]

Wow... that's one terrible employer. You are an incredibly strong woman. This is why I always keep 5months of expenses saved, you never know what's gonna happen.

[@reefmarch8139]

Char so smart...no matter how much you earn... always need to save for that day... the ‘rainy day’ or whatever😝

[@HylianCucco]

Yeah exactly... rainy days always come eventually, they should be expected and prepared for. The best thing money can buy is peace of mind.

[@Psalm_27.4]

Char You're smart. Most of us, are poor savers. I include myself. 😕

[@AliceCullen2457]

It sounds like she had a lot of money saved. She probably had the typical 2 months you're always told to have in savings, since she made it through 2 months of not being paid before running out of money.

[@HylianCucco]

That's better than most people, especially when they're still in school. I think 2 month of savings is still way too low though, it's probably recommended by people because no one can save anyway, so it's better than nothing. I go with 5 months, because I was out of work for 5 months in 2008 after the crash.

[@dingdigiding654]

Its my second video that I watched from your vlog but I've already adore you on how you handle struggles in life. Amazing how brave and jolly you are., Keep it up.,!!

[@TheJoe89jan]

I think that was illegal what your employer did to you.

[@nightfangs2910]

very illegal, if she had pursued charges against that employer through the state D.A. office they might have been shut down, odds are she was 1 of many he has done that to over the years

[@TodayImMaking]

Yup, and it was illegal what happened in the classroom as well (copyright infringement, and giving them guy money could land him into a lot more trouble than if he gave them away).

[@johndoe-io8fh]

you do not have to be super chilled..you work, you get paid! Typical a-holes you are working for, most corporate mangers are "corporate"...I think you held up well! considering...cheers!

[@liamjoker6120]

If your going through this, don't be afraid to go to local food banks and apply for EBT and call your 211 they can help find free food in your area

[@swtostsagito4660]

i feel you....me and my cousin some years before in a situation like this....we open the fridge and has in it a lemon a ketchup and a half empty bottle of wine....so we spend our friday night with a glass of the worst wine ever made and bread with kechup!!!!...i wish people wouldn't have to get through those situations but here we say : "that who doesn't kill you ,makes you stronger"!!!Greetings from Greece

Pangarap din po namin yan, pag roof top tent kasi medyo unsafe lalo na kung tulog tau sa gabe at naka park sa open area. mas ok kung rv or combi van. :)

[@gilviz]

Hi, this is one of my favorite videos from you, I've been on the same situation such as yours for the most awkward reasons, and I know how it feels, I remember I had to stretch one bar of bread and one gallon of apple juice for food for a full week in one appartment I just moved in (in California of course) with no furniture whatsoever, sleeping in the carpet, no electricity and no running water, is so strange how miserable you can feel for not having those "basic things" But hey those experiences make you so strong and thankful for what you have but also (and very important) humble to other people you encounter in your life. I know you know blessings don't come falling from the sky if you don't really work for it, but still I say "blessings to you" :) Thank you for your uploads

[@demetriusthomas2048]

Birds singing n the background are so beautiful reminds me of the true meaning of living life and enjoying your time here in life, very rare human gets the spare time to take in nature it's beautiful and the fact human is forced to work and stay locked n the system makes my heart heavy

[@detcordxxxi]

The lessons learned through these hard experiences will stick with you forever. I went through something similar but I had a house, wife, kids, etc. When you make it through something like this and come out the other end, it changes the way you prioritize spending and how you budget your money. Great video!

[@ivanal.c6424]

Had an epic battle of the wasps quite a few times in my Airstream. Shit is scary, I got nowhere to hide!

[@saturn599]

I am glad you survived the ordeal. It's scary to hear that you have to dumpster dive but like you said it was out of desperation and you came out stronger. You are such an inspiration to all of us. Be safe and take care of yourself.

[@rmaco]

I just want to say I have a huge amount of respect for you. You are a courageous woman and it's to bad more people don't have a fraction of your character. I hope one day we cross each other's paths camping one day. I would love to hear some more stories.

[@clemmahabir]

When you look back from now at all your struggles its sounds like when you are successfull you can honestly say I did it on my own!! I can honestly say a success story in the near future. All the best and stay safe and blessed.

[@christophernewby3296]

Hobo Ahle : You know there is a church on Parthenia and Sepulveda that gives out free food every Wednesday if you sit through a 1 hour of Preaching session, and its every week, you dont have to convert, you dont have to even say anything you go sit, listen bring bags or a market cart and get your grub, and the food is not expired or gross, it's just excess food that local markets donate to churches. So if you find yourself in this situation again I'd suggest looking into food banks, and church food bank, also there is food stamps and GR. Just suggestions from a fellow ex-homeless person.

[@franciscocarrillo6606]

Keep up the fight. Gods strongest go through the toughest experience's.. You good. Keep God first. He comes thru, the future he has for you is unimaginable

[@swatisquantum]

Francisco Carrillo you speak truth my friend. It makes you stronger and stronger.

[@dominikochocinski2768]

You are such an inspiring young lady. Your life experiences made you soo much stronger! You should be extremely proud of yourself! I can only imagine how hard it was to keep your composure, integrity and class in the situation like this. Good luck with everything! You can get whatever you dream of!

[@temporarythoughts]

girl! all you are saying here that you went through.. all those feelings are so valid. it WAS exciting and scary and uncomfortable for you. I get those people who feel bad talking about hardship and so they say you 'should be grateful' bla bla, just to bring up fake positivity. but really, you need to process all experiences without prejudice and feeling like you ought to feel differently. there is no comparing pain against pain anyway. thanks for sharing such a personal and important experience. I am humbled. and you are a beautiful person ^-^

[@GnarlsFarls]

You can probably make money doing live stream IRL. Bunch of people with less interesting lives do it and people pay to watch their useless content. I'm sure your van lifestyle is more interesting

[@kyla3834]

When I first discovered your channel, I thought you were one of those privileged kids who decide to live an alternative lifestyle in a van but now I see that you are a try hard worker and hustler! Much love💛

[@sdsantos88]

I never stick around to watching a vid nearly 30 mins long but with yours I did. Just discovered your channel today and I had to subscribe. Watched several vids already and I just love your mindset and your way with words - I could learn a lot from you! I can sense that you’re a genuine person ♥️

[@LiezerZero]

A teacher making students pay for pirated software.. LoL

[@lunemiel786]

That is funny! Thank you for that! I needed that laugh! Just my sense of humor ... Sarcastic ... lol

[@davidcleland8457]

I know right?

[@martyh8830]

Lessons learned the hard way are not soon forgotten. These experiences, though very difficult, will make you stronger and wiser

[@genjimiguel2524]

Thanks for sharing ahle,I know it's not easy talking about that publicly but it really makes you see how bad experiences make you endure and prepare for things that might happen.

[@loserhub6372]

This is why I learned to never be judgmental of people as I got older. You never know someone’s struggles and or what they may be going thru at any given time.

[@jentlemonsteress]

You’re so nice!! The dollar situation I would’ve refused and been like nah He can take the cd back if he wants

[@ahhwe-any7434]

She should've broke down so the teacher could feel bad. Then it'd be a reminder💡 that oh yeah. Sometimes students are broke... Then he would've been more aggressive all like 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean, I did say it wasn't that big of a deal. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jeezenums. Got the girl all breaking down, telling her whole life story & what not.

[@bethestandardallday]

Thank you for sharing something so personal. Really helpful and helps me to gain a lot of easily lost perspective. Spending this morning thinking about all the blessings in my life and being thankful.

[@galstorm]

Thank you for sharing. It can happen to anyone of us at any moment We all need to count our blessings. Stay strong and inspiring. May GOD Bless You.

[@raymondsykes2954]

I respect you for being so upfront about situations. A lot of people dont understand what its like to be completely on your own and to really have less than a dollar to your name. Its happened multipule times to me where i looked at theres 55 cents and thats it. Most stressful thing in the world is knowing you have less than a dollar and no paycheck coming
