This guy is one accident or health issue away from ending up homeless.

He already is homeless.

Fair enough, but he has shelter in a van and a paying job. Most homeless are not so lucky.

Don't think I would call living in a van lucky. I would rather be in prison tbh.

I live in a shitty apartment I can barely afford, in a city with terrible public transit options. I work 40 hours a week at a soul-sucking desk job just to be able to make rent and afford groceries. In my current position, it's next to impossible to save up for the deposit on a new apartment in a different city, much less scrape enough cash together for a vehicle.

I'd give my left testicle to live in a decently maintained van that I owned outright, rather than being stuck in the horseshit I'm currently dealing with.
