What would you say to a person like me? I was more successful and was making more money then anybody I know. At age 22 I was running my own shop taking home about a grand a week. That's after tax, after insurance and payroll deduction on 2 cars a motor cycle. So yeah. I was doing Very well for myself Then I developed a health problem that put me in bed for over a year. It's now been five years and I can barley walk a block before I collapse. Doctors still don't know what's wrong. I can't get disability because I have no official diagnosis and even if I could get disability it doesn't pay enough to live off of. I have food stamps now thank god for that. But nothing else. In 6 months I will be out of money and on the street. I was able to live for 5 years paying rent and all my bills without an income. Could you do that? So when my money runs out you going to call me a lazy deadbeat bum? Are you aware that 82% of all homeless people in the USA are homeless for reasons like mine? Health issues are the number one reason for homelessness in this country. Think about that the next time you want to talk shit. Most are homeless because society shat on them in a time of need. People like you.
What do you do when you see a homeless person?
