Around 1982 I started to notice a lot of homeless people hanging out at the local 7/11 mini stores. Now I seem to see them at fast food places.
I have always worried about ending up like them for some reason. I have never come close to that state and live in a paid off house after 26 years of mortgage payments.
Mortgage payments were harder with a layoff in 1991. Getting jobs in my field were difficult over the years and was of great concern to me.
I applied for a job as a cutter operator in a run down shop and the owner/interviewer asked one question which was always on my mind in any job interview but was never openly stated.
Her Question almost right off after a few things like where do you live was:
HOW MUCH WAS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF HOURLY WAGE I WOULD WORK FOR !!!!!
Not what I expected to make as is asked in most applications.
What a shock. Do I want to work here I thought.-- But back to homelessness.

It would be interesting to know how many of homeless people are ****/******* addicts. That is the common assumption. I figure some people may be retired and cant afford housing of almost a thousand a month on a 1300 a month income. Going homeless though ****** leaves a lot of money left over.
Some may have lost jobs and lived pay check to paycheck. I have always lived trying to save money so as not to run out.
My house needed a lot of work over the years and I deferred to saving money as I was afraid of defaulting on my mortgage. As people were losing houses in 2008 I was making my LAST MORTGAGE PAYMENT..
I was friends with a homeless guy I often saw at the local fast food place and asked questions of his living situation.
Does any one know of personal stories of homeless people or statistics of the problem.
