            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.

              I understand. It was a joke poking fun at those who really think that way. Thank you for helping people.

                I get the joke now, just was not in the headspace earlier to realize it. Cheers friend!

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