There are NO people with zero money (see your state's welfare budget for details) and the ones you refer to are homeless -overwhelmingly by choice.

"I have been in such a situation more than once, in other words zero money and homeless."

Says a lot about you.

I went through a similar experience when I was younger, and you can put a lid on your attitude.

So, do I have an attitude? Bet your @ss I do -I earned it. Karma? Yeah, $even figures worth -literally.

My experience being homeless was being run over by a garbage truck while on a motorcycle at an intersection, breaking my back, the insurance giving out, savings disappearing, and refusing to go on welfare or govt assistance of any kind.

I lived in the streets nearly six months before I was well enough to hold down even part time work, and could get a room in the YMCA where a martial arts instructor helped me heal better than the doctors ever did. I now deadlift 8 and benchpress 4 even on my bad days at 50+yo. I have my own business, I live the life I want. I never have, and never will be on govt. assistance.

But you're the rich man, and your "seven figures" win the argument.

Hush, everyone, and listen while the rich man speaks.

I wouldn’t have balked at taking certain government assistance if I were in your position, because I would feel I had paid my taxes and had as much right to it as anybody.

I tend to take whatever tax breaks I can as well, even though I would prefer if they would get rid of tax breaks and just treat all of us the same.

But I wouldn’t ever fault people for being homeless, especially if they are NOT being a burden on the taxpayer.

I also wouldn’t brag about wealth, because, well, bad karma, even though I don’t believe in that, why tempt fate? Or tell people where to come for the money?

Good for you, mate. I applaud your positive attitude, speaking as one who had to fight for everything his entire life -not that you need My approval mind. I simply enjoy knowing about yet another good man in the world.

Hush, everyone, and listen while the rich man speaks.

No thanks, friend. I have better things to do, it goes without saying. Like cleaning out the litter box. Cheers!
