It's to have something to decrease your burn rate, so you don't have to worry about being homeless next week.
- refurb 4y agoSure, but there isn't much difference between "I have to stay at my job or end up homeless" or "I have to stay at my job or else I can't afford my mortgage and will have to sell my cars and my kids can't go to summer camp". Clearly the 2nd one is better, but it's still a very serious decision that has consequences most people would avoid.
