you can’t live in a shelter, you can’t live in a car, you can’t live in a tent, you can’t live on the street. People in these situations are existing at best. Existing is not living.To live means you have enough money to choose what to do and you are not having to interact with “the system” social workers, housing authority, food stamps, SSA, police, and government workers who absolutely do not have your best interest in mind. People in poverty are employment for people who work for the system.You are not really living until you have a house on five acres, you get to choose who you let into your life, and you are not someone else’s project.
