'Spots are hard to come by. Freniere, like many of his fellow down-on-their-luck veterans, does not match any hat-in-hand Hollywood image of homelessness. He receives an annual pension from the military of more than $40,000.

His struggle to find a job after retiring from the Air Force collided with the end of his marriage nearly two years ago. Unable to return to the home he shared with his estranged wife, and faced with expenses including bills for two sons in college and debts that mounted when he maintained a nicer lifestyle, he took up a nomadic existence.'

Bills. Bills. Not how much ya make, but how much ya saved. Lots of people are a divorce away from the street.

“Bills. Bills.”

Yes, but he could go bankrupt; and if my parent were homeless i’d do something about it- I wouldn’t just expect them to keep paying for my school.

still,it is scary this guy can’t find a job.

We may be missing something here, substance abuse or something like that.

still, these stories terrify me, i’m middle aged, looking for work, and not having much luck.
