[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4324593, member: 13337"] So, imagine you are a single person working a subsistence level job,,, Then you lose that job. Most people are only three paychecks away from being completely broke,,, So after a few months of no income you get evicted. Getting a job if you are homeless is virtually impossible,,, If you have no family to help out in hard times,,, Next thing you know you're living in your car. Then registration comes around,,, And that mandatory insurance requirement,,, Now your home on wheels gets impounded as well. It's a quick downward spiral that I've seen happen to good people,,, Once you are there, it's damn near impossible to get back up. It could happen to anyone in our economy,,, Imagine you're a 55 year old person working a manual job,,, Your company downsizes and all of a sudden you have no income for mortgage, food, transportation, and medical. People will say that there are plenty of jobs out there,,, But have you ever sat across an interview desk from a 30-something HR person. That is one of the most helpless feelings in this modern word,,, Having your destiny decided by an uninterested millennial college kid. I could go on and on,,, Aarond . [/QUOTE]
