Shoe box home

You can only vote on one answer.

Let's say you lost your job and have been unemployed for a while. Your benefits run out and now you have a choice between a shoe box home or being homeless. From a realistic stand point which one would you choose?

A lot depends on the situation. Families have a better chance of getting into homeless shelters. Jobs aren't scarce around here if people truly want to work.
If just me, I'm pretty much set to use my SUV and camping supplies....
I've also looked into pop up campers and all.
thing is... if anyone ends up homeless, there is help out there, but you have to put a great effort into helping yourself.
It's sad that there really are those situations like the picture you posted. I'd still choose my car and seek out free camp sites.

@SW-User doing pretty good on survival prepping?

@Notanymore Trying. I have the means to cook without electric or gas... I am use to my fire pit. lol But... have portable ways too.
If I had to live with very little, I could do so. After all, what fills a house is just "things".
I have acquired things to use if needed. I just need to practice!
In many ways, I have already learned how to take care of myself... and family around me is doing the same... I'd probably be camping in someone's backyard if things were to go really bad.
Okay... this is my last SW day...so... yeah.
It's good to see you again. :)
