Yes, the luxury afforded by a single train ticket and paying cash to stay in s hostel, sweaty nights knowing that I had money for six days and beyond that, black hole I didn't want to think about. I found a job on day six after maybe 150 companies. QA. Manual testing. Fabulous job for a physics graduate! Oh wait, no, the pits, but work, and income, and oh my god I can have a roof over my head and almost make ends meet. Now I just need to freelance and find a bar job too.
"Luxury!" (Yorkshire accent)
If you think my situation sounds like it was remotely pleasurable, be grateful you haven't been there. There are far easier and kinder ways to have ones safety net removed than to have your family completely explode and dump their obligations on you. Had to pack up and auction off the family home at 19. Every penny went against lawyers or their debt. Shit ain't easy, I promise you.
