Have you ever been homeless/live in your car?

I lived in my car for about a year when I was 25. I had a job, thankfully, but not enough money to put down a deposit on an apartment. I only ate one meal a day, which was a grilled cheese sandwich that I was allowed to eat for free at my job. I had to shower at my co-worker's house (she was kind enough to allow me).

Finally another coworker offered to let me stay in her spare room until I could get a place, and I took her up on that. We remained great friends for years and I am forever grateful she took a chance on me and gave me the opportunity to get on my feet.
