    Well, by not having a car, I have almost enough money left over for a place to sleep, food, and internet.

    People say you “need” a car to live, but really, you just need a car to maintain your lifestyle. But when something happens to your income, the first thing to go is the car. When you cannot afford to drive a car, suddenly your “needs” look completely different. Funny, right?

      Wow, that’s pretty sad. I often wonder if things are changing to prevent situations like that

        Well pay attention, because things are certainly changing, and situations like that are becoming much more common.
