This is something practically everybody in the US has. They are right to be terrified. The overwhelming majority of us are one life-threatening illness away from homelessness.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y ago> This is something practically everybody in the US has. You might be surprised. It is a valid fear, and I suspect folks that are older, and have families, may feel that way, but a lot of highly-paid, young professionals don't seem to understand that. You will see this in action, as more and more tech companies start laying off their engineers. I started off very humbly, and am constantly around folks that don't have a pot to piss in (and some of them used to be millionaires).
