 Abusive families, abusive spouses, getting fired when a company
is "downsizing", lack of available jobs, natural disaster...ect.

 I wonder if you will be singing the same tune should you find your self
homeless. I've been keeping track of this thread (via 1001newsgroups.com,
Google seems to be having trouble retrieving new posts), and I am horrified
at the responses I've seen. It just proves that money has corrupted people
beyond hope. Of course, you can become homeless at any time. If you
live in the boonies with your own cabin, and completely independent of
society, you don't have to worry about the rug being pulled out from
under you (save natural disasters or "emminent domain"). However, if you 
depend on anyone for your money in anyway (that includes working for
a company), you are at risk of losing your home and your investments 
at any time. Your fate is in other people's hands whether you realise it or 
not.
