So, I don't really get what stories like these are supposed to be... Are they supposed to be inspiring? Because I don't think "I had to live as a homeless person in one of the richest areas of the world and got into disastrous financial trouble as soon as the tiniest thing went wrong" is an inspiring anecdote, I think it's just depressing.
