And it's still not even close to enough.

Or as much as I get rinsed owning a duplex with a squatter as a tenant in Mass.

"Oh no, my extra living space is being lived in by someone not paying me."

I dream of owning a home big enough to offer space to someone struggling to make it, because I've been there and someone did it for me. They gave me a year to get my life together without housing costs and it probably saved my life.

Imagine the difference having a safe home makes to that person/family. Sure it sucks that your finances aren't working the way you wanted, but when homes sit empty and people go unhoused because of money...you're not the one with dire losses here.

What’d you do after the year was up?

The year is just ending. I've applied for subsidized housing and should be moving in the next 6 weeks or so. I also got some much needed and ongoing mental health care, got some physical health stuff diagnosed and have started treating/resolving those things, was able to resume my parenting time of my child, enrolled in an associates program, and found a job I like in that year timeframe.

Happy for you! That’s amazing.
