More often than not you see "from rags to riches", like with the "radio voice guy" (have you heard of him?).

Thank you for explaining that. I've never been poor or have ever seen poor lifestyle (except in fiction, scarcely), so I have no idea just how bad it is.

And even with the extraordinary attention his situation received, he still had recurring battles with alcohol. Without his internet fame he would be just another guy dying on the street.

And here is to hoping that you don't need to ever experience that.
