Naysayers? Looking for some positivity! ( a rant sort of)

I'm in love with someone whose currently facing hard times and doesn't really have his life together, he lost his job, his place and is currently staying with his mother (all happening before I met him.) -we're very young, 20 &  23. We have known each other however for a number of years. We just started dating two months ago and he is currently taking steps to get his left together, actively looking for work and his options to go to school....But everyone is doubting us and telling me I'm wasting my time being with him. It's not useless right? It gets better and there is hope? 
He treats me very well. And we have a good time together. We also come from very different worlds and we raised very differently. I always had support to get and keep my life on track. I AM his first support to get it together and realize there is more for him out there and he deserves it. 
There's so much negative talk a the relationship and it puts stuff in my head. :( share your success stories!
