They Have NOTHING... And Have To Buld Everyhting

1. no cash
2. no clothes
3. no furniture
4. no home
5. no savings (hence, - no 'security')
6. no car
7. no insurance
6. no medical insurance
7. no language
8. no credit history (status)
9. no employment history (status)
10. no rental history (status)
11. no driver's license (and record)
12. NO EXPERIENCE of working-for-a-living in the new country (perhaps this should count as #1)

Everything of the above has to be BUILT one-day-one-step-$20-at-a-time.

They literally build their lives anew - only this time making choices by THEMSELVES.

And this 'I-Have-Nothing' CHALLENGE can be repeated by anyone....

BTW, the close mindset is observed among people that went through bankruptcy... and/or prison...
