Re: Choose to be Homeless?

No, I honestly think most are driven to it by low paying jobs and lack of health care when they start to have issues with mental health or the like. Or addiction eats up their money and they scrape by on the streets.
But it seems like most homeless people are in their mid 30s.. is it safe to guess that at one time they had a 'regular' life?

One group that I didn't include in my other posts is people who are just 100% crazy and that's it. There was some guy who used to live in teh parking garage at my mom's office. Apparently the security would kick him out 3 or 4 times/week. He just lived there I think, I'm not sure if he ever panhandled. Anyway, he died like 2 years ago and when they found his closest relative or whatever to alert they found out he had something like $800,000 in the bank. I'm not sure what kind of group I'd put him in.
