When you know exactly how far away from homeless you are at any given moment it really doesn't exactly lead you to making risky moves

And the more people who feel that way the more it shapes culture as a whole

I've been there, both having been homeless and knowing how far from homeless I am at any given point

Without complete financial ruin, 6 weeks. Financial ruin embraced, 6 months to a year. Maybe a little longer if I'm careful.
