Any day i could wake up and have my dz. take a turn for the worse-to the point were am not physically able to do my job-its happened to me before for a 6 month period and thank god there was a "somewhat safety net" ie disability-that kept me (barely) from losing my studio apt(did get electric cut off-had to go to food banks,no phone)..I had no apprehension/guilt for taking that $$.I've been working since I was 15yo -and have paid into the system for a long time.I have every intention to take my soc.security/medicare when I can...I just know, that almost being homeless scared the crap out of me-and I vowed at that time when i got back on my feet that i would somehow find the $$ to but aside and make it a priority in case this happened again-(even if just a couple dollars a week) Fear and being that close to the edge and looking down is what did it for me-changing my attitude about saving for that "rainy day" as they call it..
