One (who went on to become a very good friend of mine) essentially had his paperwork lost, so he lost out on funding the first year. It was nearly impossible for him to get "back on the train" after that, and the work he had to do outside of academia to support himself pretty much killed his academic career. This is just piling on, but more reason not to try to get a PhD on no funding - it's a terrible idea!R.
