I’m not going to give them the benefit of ‘survival mode.’ If you’re breaking even in a million dollar home you are not the same as someone breaking even in a studio.
My siblings and I have slept in a car. We have slept for weeks in a hotel room. We have been to shelters and we have lived with grandparents while mom got on her feet. We had Christmas in the back seat of a 90s Lunima. While I don’t wish it on anyone, I won’t give someone that has to reduce spending an inch in terms of hardship. Even in this economy 6 figures is manageable if you live frugally.
I understand your point and i seriously empathize with what you have been through but Every house no matter how dilapidated is around a million within 2 hours of SF, Silicon Valley, Seattle, LA ….ect. I agree with all your points except I don’t think a million dollar house is extravagant near any metro these days. A lot of families in these areas are extremely house poor and stretched thin. They are a lot closer to living in their cars than people realize.
Hey, it sounds like we’re twinsies! Right down to having ‘Christmas’ (if you could call it that, haha!) in the back seat of a '90s Lumina! That’s a wild coincidence. I understand where you’re coming from.
I genuinely hope things are better and more stable for you all nowadays. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through. Internet hugs to you, if you want them. 🫂

Maybe you are actual relatives?
