One of my biggest fears in life is being homeless. This past weekend, I
saw what it could be like for an educated and experienced person. I had
the pleasure of meeting a wonderful woman and the displeasure of hearing
how she has essentially ended up without a home. Here, I share her story
(her name has been changed) and my take on what is to come if we as a
nation are not careful.

Her story just demonstrates that as we get older, if we are unpartnered
and without children, what can happen in times of economic downturn.

As usual, please pass it on and leave a comment or two. I will be
sharing it with her, so leave a word of encouragement if nothing else.
