What’s The Purpose of Living If You Are Poor and Homeless?
Some people live in a house, I live in my car
I don’t see a purpose to live if you are poor and homeless
What can you do? Some people will say, “things will get better”. That’s not true.
I always found it weird that people tend to tell you sweet nothings or try to console you with moral support. The truth of the matter is — nobody needs kind words. People simply need money.
Being homeless is the worst thing ever
I don’t want to hear the, “it could be worst”. This is my situation and to me it’s the worst thing ever.
Being able poor is also the worst thing ever
I have been poor all my life. I was born poor. I didn’t have parents to guide me or teach me about money, credit, jobs, networking, success, career choices. I refuse to have kids unless I have money. Like who does selfish shit like that?
It is impossible to get out of poverty — through education
Many of us went to college to get a job. However, there are no jobs. I have a Juris Doctor Degree and Bachelor’s of Arts Degree.
