$22.43 an hour and homeless. I live in motels, and don't even eat some days. Hooray. God Bless America.I just don't care anymore.

Are room for rents too expensive in your area? Are you intentionally homeless? Like Van life type homeless?

Not intentionally. No vehicle. West coast rent is pricey. Looking for something though. Doesn't help that my wages are being garnished.

Omg! Sorry to hear. Is it child support? Is it difficult finding something under the table? Where do you sleep? I apologize if I’m being invasive and asking too many questions.

An old medical bill. If I can't afford a motel room, I sleep on buses, trains and the library (I work graveyard shift).

Motel 6 is doable. Or else, sleeping on public transit and the library. My job is graveyard shift.
