I'm broke - and will likely go bankrupt. I'm not proud or ashamed, I do not want to bore you with the sad and pathetic details. Right now I am depending on a friend, for a room, as long as that will last. But I'm almost 50 years old, so, I'm not really sure it can last that much longer. Sure, if I can find a job, start making money again, I might dig myself out of this hole - and then, there's this part of me, that just doesn't care. I'm not really suicidal, but I have considered "social suicide" - simply throwing it all in, and going the "homeless" route (as if anyone has a choice in this).
No, I don't think there is anything romantic or adventurous about being homeless. I think it must be degrading, dangerous, painful, lonely. Sure, it might not be a total living hell, but I can't imagine it's a place people "want to be" ... or, maybe, I'm wrong. I was reading about some of the organized "tent cities" in Seattle, and they are intriguing - having their own ghetto governments, and a sense of community.
I even read a google review of one of these tent cities ...
I'm not sure where I'm going with this. Maybe I have a sense, a feeling, that this is where I will end up in a few months (perhaps sooner). Maybe, furthermore, I have a feeling that many millions of Americans could end up in the same boat, rapidly, if this bogus economy suddenly stalls.
So research your tent-city options, is my advice ...
(maybe someone needs to create a website for this - like AirBnB ... but for illegal and legal homeless encampments)
