1. Drove across the country and moved to California alone when I was 20 and lived in a camper for a while. I worked at a well-known winery first, and then a famous brewery. Worked various manual labor jobs to stay afloat. Saved enough money until I could rent an apartment (had parental/familial support as well so not really that amazing). I did become super independent though and learned a lot from being culturally uprooted.
2. Grew up in a small rural town in Upstate NY surrounded by poverty. I'm middle-middle class (Teacher/Law Enforcement parents), but most of my friends were extremely poor. Food stamps, welfare, etc. I don't want ADCOMs to think I am a "hick" though, I truthfully have a passionate hatred of country culture because of the rampant ignorance and anti-science/anti-intellectualism attitudes.
3. Keep brainstorming
