Do you think it is reasonable for human beings to be required to work not one, not two, but three jobs, without having secure dwelling space, access to health care, transportation, or communication tools? You had a group home, so I'm guessing other people were contributing to the monthly rent / mortgage / whatever... You had a POS car so great low registration and no loan payments, but it's sheer luck that no major repairs killed you. Good thing you didn't need any emergency $10,000+ MRI scans or other costly emergency room visits. There's a lot of things that could have gone really wrong, the fact that you won the "No Major Disasters Lottery" is really fortunate, but that's all it is - good fortune. The slightest change in luck could have ruined you.

I mean, good on you for scraping by and bootstrapping and all that, but do you think that's really how things should be?
