Adam meets Bubble Gum, Derrik's cousin. Bubble Gum needs a place to live, so he and Adam rent an apartment together. They have a love-hate relationship. Together, they rent an apartment for very cheap, fix it up, and live in it. They move in and map out where all the furniture will go. They get along for the most part, but they disagree on finances and splitting costs evenly. BG and the management of Fast Company don't always get along either. Then, BG joins Adam and Derrik's moving group. He really ruins the chemistry of the group because he is lazy. It annoys Adam. He goes home for Christmas and realizes that his future is his job in Charleston. Charleston is now his life, and he will look back on this time and think how great it was. This realization proves to Adam that life is about the journey and the goals. He sets goals and reaches them with a good attitude. Now that he has to pay his own bills, he truly understands the worth of a dollar. He and BG try to save as much money as possible by conserving electricity and natural gas. He joins a gym and makes friends, which help him relax and be happier. The apartment is clean only when BG brings a girl home. This chapter mainly shows the importance of working well with others and being able to have fun. Someone who only works and has no fun will not be successful; the other way around is true too. Adam finds a good mix of the two and encourages readers searching for success to do the same.
