Using a simple strategy to make smart investments in the capital market saved Andy Abrahams’ future: A year after he began investing, his life was forever changed when he bought the business that laid him off. And no, he has no plans to stop investing

When Andy Abrahams was fired on October 2013, he was convinced that the end of the world had arrived. Just a year after he had married and only a month after his eldest daughter, Jenny, was born, the DIY chain store where he worked didn’t care. “They decided to eliminate the gardening products’ department and the next day my manager simply called me in, shook my hand and said he couldn't keep me any longer. I had worked there for eight years since graduating high school, but for the chain I was just a line in the computer, and the time had come for them to simply erase that line,” he says. Andy’s story is no different than the stories of thousands of other blue collar workers worldwide.

In the third week, I tried to help my brother at the auto body shop where he worked, but they had nothing to offer me. In the fourth week I drank, and in the fifth week, I almost put a bullet through my head".

Lorena admits she had doubts in Andy’s ability to provide for the family

Andy spiraled into decline and friends remember that he became remote and barely spoke to his wife, Lorena, who now admits she even considered leaving him and going back to live with her parents. “Months after he was fired,” said Lorena, “living with Andy did not seem like the most promising future for Jenny and me".

John Green, a high school friend of Andy, is the man who saved him from himself. Green had lived in Manhattan since graduating from college and he came to the small town where Abrahams lived to visit his parents. Green and Abrahams met for a beer at the local bar, and Green told Andy that a growing number of people were using online tra
