It may surprise you to know that Jim Cramer, former Wall Streeter and host of CNBC’s “Mad Money with Jim Cramer” was at one point living out of his car. In 1979, after his apartment was robbed clean—checks and all, he spent nine months calling his Ford Fairmont home. He writes in his memoir, Confessions of A Street Addict, “Bereft with no way to pay my rent, and literally the shirt on my back and not more than a couple dollars in my pocket, I descended rapidly into the world of working homeless.”
