I dont keep people like that close to me. Luck? Not so much, strong boundaries, yeah.
Can't move out without money, also got the media and government employees making you feel worthless for being unemployed.
Well thats on you for letting "media and government" opinions have effect. Those influences shouldnt hold value in your own opinion of yourself.
I got booted out on my own at 17, state put me in a shelter until I turned 18. Was homeless multiple times until I found a carrer I thought ethical. Like I said, poverty doesnt scare me. Working for someone who is the boot on folks neck do. Im also nerodivergent, and literally cant stand to stay in a place, living or working, that infringes on mine or others freedoms. I go without, a lot. Found the most community I'll ever probably expierence, in the lowest of places. I like the low places. Suits and tie types scare me.
State assistance types who look down on folks should rot in their chairs. Again, their opinion doesnt change facts. If you qualify, you qualify, miss nancy on her high horse can eat a dick.
I've walked miles in car centric infanstructure, with groceries I had to scrape up money to afford strapped to my back in 100degree heat, all the while cursing the suburban moms in their cars with their AC thinking, "Im stronger than youll ever be".
Ones own will is a tool to be wielded.
When you have nothing, you have a different type of freedom.
It's okay by me to accept help where you can, give back where you can, and the people who abuse power are so, so very small (not in numbers but in personhood)
