Overcoming homelessness not
I have been without a place to call home for a couple of yrs now. I have always worked hard and the company I retired with(under 55 yrs of age) offered to buy me out and I took it at a reduced lump sum or monthly price for the rest of my life. Here's the kicker, I had no choice but to jump on it as I had been living in my car for the past 8 months or so. How I got to this point in the first place I can save for a later story. What I do know is this,I'm soo very grateful for everything. thx Canefane1.

I was homeless as a child for a while. Best of luck, and make the most of any opportunity that is knocking at your door.
