How I Went from Salaryman to Homeless

hey what's up guys I am still at nigata I already um got out of my friend's house the one with the skate park in it um yeah and then yeah now I'm in this like just like beach over there and yeah I think I'm going to camp out here today um yeah just enjoy the the the the the scenery and everything and yeah let's just uh let's just my let's just get my tent out first yeah let's uh let's do this today is a camping camping day let's go all righty let's let's do this tent got to get my tent out buts let's get my tent out so much stuff so much stuff M up here my T okay T time okay okay yeah I was kind of chilling a little bit I was kind of tired um so um it's like 10000 p.m. right now and I haven't eaten lunch and I need to get some food for dinner too and yeah the convenience store is like 30 minute away from here like by walking so yeah I'm just going to skateboard to that place get stuff get food and yeah eat lunch and um and then dinner and then so it's right next to the ocean so hopefully I can see Sunset and yeah sounds good [Music] [Music] I almost almost ni [Music] [Music] pork pork cutlet uh with like the sauce is already like on top like I I think it's like a miso sauce I think yeah you know one of the thing that's hard being homeless is um the trash right throwing trash if if I bring my food to the tent you know it's it's hard to find place to throw trash so I usually eat it like right next to the convenience store so this is just this is convenience store right here so when I finish eating I just throw it in the the the trash can inside the convenience store right my lunch a little late lunch is that yes M very good this is like around five bucks maybe Lawson has a good uh ready to eat food yeah I really like [Laughter] right you know crazy cold today crazy cold today seriously it's like it's like what 15° super cold so yeah um I feel like there's a lot of people who wants to know how I became homeless from salary man right I came to Japan when I was 23 and then I I think I work at the real estate company when I was like 24 so I was there around 5 to six years-ish so it was a real estate company and then we were like focused on shared house because yeah because I can speak English um a lot of uh foreign uh tend to live in share house but but the company I was working at there was mostly Japanese tenant so yeah and maybe like so mostly maybe like 90 to 80% Japanese and the rest is Foreigner so my boss was like very typical Japanese uh like uh very strict very um aggressive he'll get mad like crazy he'll shout he'll like kick the trash trash box like that type of boss so I was okay with that boss for three years I think and then after that um the boss changed to his son and he was more cool and chill but he was more like a perfectionist guy he doesn't like mistakes maybe he was okay with mistakes but just the vibe he created was like no mistake and and and then so I I tried to adapt and change and try to be more Perfection but like you know when there's like so it's like almost like micromanagement right so that really stressed me out because we were like a small company it was like a venture company there was only like five people and five people but each staff or five people including the boss so each staff is like basically in charge of like one category like uh if uh there's accountant marketing and I was like uh operation and management so yeah uh we had like uh 28 real estate and we had like like almost like 300 tenants so I had to manage that whole thing by myself and so it was in Tokyo so it was everywhere so just like going to one uh building to the another one was already like taking so much time and you know it's just over capacity right so I had to work like long long hours um um even though I I get two day off uh Monday and Tuesday but still like I had to think about my work and um you know there's always like that anxiety like in in your heart and the pay was like how much did I get I think I get about like two grand maybe you know there's no happiness in the money part the income part like you never change and feels like it's pretty low for like you know how big my responsibility was and and I I really wanted to feel like I was important in the company I mean in their head they think that I'm important too but I didn't feel it I didn't feel that I was important for them um so yeah I got really stressed um and the work is really hardcore even like it's operation and management is like it includes um customer service yeah so much stress customer service in Japan especially in Tokyo is really hard like you really have to take in all the unreasonable complain and and and request and and you got to keep saying sorry and yeah yeah so all that stuff like it it felt like maybe if I keep working someday maybe they'll raise they'll give me like big raise maybe because I feel like I was like the third um highest position in the company yeah um and yeah I got depressed one time um um depression and yeah I decided to quit right so it was like you know it was those typical long hour job and a lot of uh customer service like customer complaint um and micromanagement like Perfection you know like boss wanting you to be perfect and and income don't changing like something like that yeah yeah yeah and then um I think I already explained in the other um video right how after that you know it YouTube happened and then and then yeah my homeless life started after pretty scary I hope this house is not hot tier anything you know I messed up big time there's no hot water so stupid I I I I usually like put hot water in the the convenience store and I don't know I I thought somehow I can get hot water but there I I got it's like 30 minute walk and it's so dark right now and it's so cold today I don't have uh sweater or anything so I guess no food for tonight good night everybody
