So I recently read a toot that stated that if you are confused about your place in the class war, you just needed be reminded that you are at any given time 3 bad months away from being homeless and never, ever 3 good months away from being a millionaire. It is a salient point but it also made me realize that I've been living all my life's, so did my parents before that and truth is that to me being not one month (week?) away from homelessness but a whole 3 months seems like an inatteignable goal, a 3 bad month safety net is a level of security I've never had, to be honest I guess that's how I envision being part of the middle class.

Not only that but that's literally the number I have had in mind since I last ended on the streets: be able to put 3 months worth of food and rent aside, that to me already count as " "

On the plus side I guess I ain't at risk of getting confused about where I stand...

(I'm sorry but I refuse to cw this)
