            Have I? Yes, yes I have. I live fairly comfortably in a house that I own with a good job to pay the bills. But I volunteer with people that are not in the same situation and it’s heartbreaking. People that can’t afford to pay for unexpected expenses like a car breaking down. So they lose the job then lose their place of residence.

            Vets, people with disabilities or even people that messed up early in life can struggle.

      We don’t really have a couple thousand saved up to throw at a cremation either. Urgh. Capitalism sucks.
