I've got that in mind for sure Losty.
I've been incredibly fortunate that I didn't end up homeless at some point between 2008 up until about two years ago. I was briefly homeless in late 2008 but I had resources. I didn't have permanent housing until about three years ago, though again, I had the means and an employer willing to keep me on through long periods of mental illness. I rented a room and tried very hard to throw my life away. I hit the bottom, bounced off, and eventually got into an apartment three years ago and I now own a house other than the one I lost in the divorce.
I feel like I need to do this because most aren't so fortunate.
