In my 30s. Dont want to be too specific.
I appreciate your concern, but hopefully at this point I will probably be able to resume more normal living soon.
Somewhat ironically, I am living off of SSDI.
Though through being homeless I lost my phones and contents of my wallet and sustained many injuries, many times...
... I am currently about halfway across the country, in a relatively shitty, but heated and plumbed sort of crap tier motel, that I basically lucked on on finding, as it allows month to month leases, as opposed to basically every motel in America that at some point will tell you that you have to find somewhere else to stay, even if you can afford otherwise.
Basically because we hate the homeless here in America.
But yeah. I have a bed, shower/tub, fridge and microwave, ive got enough food stamps (EBT) to live off of, and whats better is I managed to find a nearby low income apartment community thats within walking distance, and, assuming I can manage to replace my ID or get a new one in this new state, I should qualify for it.
Stay there a year, maybe two, using money saved from its low rent to fix up my ruined credit score (got cards stolen a lot, got scammed a lot, amd sometimes needing to eat or not freeze to death is more important than your credit score), and then maybe move somewhere else, who knows.
Its a good thing I am more or less totally fine with minimal social interaction face to face and will more than be able to occupy myself when I can afford to get a Steam Deck... main actual problem with that is, basically no motel in America will let you use them as an address for mailing anything to or registering as 'I live here'.
Which of course creates a hilarious paradox: the vast, vast majority of federal and state programs that exist to help the homeless?
You need to have a permanent address.
Anyway, after nearly a year and a half at this point being mostly outdoors and walking stupendous distances, all my torn ligaments and muscles have now had some time to heal in the last roughly two months I have been in my current locale.
Just have to not freeze to death outside.
Yeeeeehaw, basically.
