MODERATORS
When one refuses to speak, the other is forced to make assumptions. Frankly, I don't care if you say I am wrong. I can read, I have heard these words from others, and know who I am dealing with.
I would bet 3:1 that you have nothing serious in your past that you could prove to me. I would bet 100:1 that I could not prove my bullshit life to you and I lived it. Get the point?
I don't think you will, so the point is, you attacked a person for being a bad example because they are struggling and not at rock bottom because people exist at the bottom.
If you had ever been there you would know better, so I stand by my assessment. Don't bother responding, I won't waste further time with you.
Stay well.
That's not my intentions. I question her choices, but that doesn't mean she has an option that would 100% fix her situation. It would probably be hard to find a 2-bedroom for $1500/mo and she'd still have over 50% of her paycheque going to housing.
My concern is articles highlighting cases like this allow people to disregard the housing crisis as just people unwilling to tighten their belts. Like "stop eating avocado toast" or "cancel Disney+", there's no quick fix.
