Jackson Miller stared at his bank account balance on his phone screen: $937.42. Just three years ago, he had been a successful investment broker with a corner office, a luxury apartment, and over seven figures in his personal accounts. Now, at 42, he was living out of his car, showering at a local gym, and counting every dollar.
The economic downturn had hit everyone hard, but Jackson had been particularly devastated. He had over-leveraged himself, convinced that his understanding of the market would protect him. When everything collapsed, he lost his clients, his job, his savings, and finally, his home. His wife Caroline had left him shortly after, taking what little remained of their joint assets.
"You're too proud, Jackson," she had said on her way out. "You need to learn when to ask for help."
