Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast.

I'm your host, Madeline.

And I'm your co-host, Kenna.

Okay, Kenna, today I wanted to talk about housing.

Oh.

I know.

So we are both officially lower middle class now in the great city of Los Angeles. It's a huge accomplishment. Oh my goodness. But I have a question for you. What do you think it would take

happening in your life from today, where you are now, for you to end up unhoused homeless?

Not very much. I agree. Not very much for me either what do you think i mean it all it probably would take is another like health issue like that

you know where i'd be unable to work and maybe not be able to get any government assistance,

which is like happened to me before, basically.

Yeah, yeah.

I think about this too.

I'm like, okay, from where I am now, all it would take for me to end up without a home

would be losing my job and not being able to find other employment for maybe three

to six months. Then I'd be out of luck. Yeah, I think I probably have enough savings for three to six

months if I really, really, really budgeted.

Right. And in our lifetime, we've lived through two economic crashes because we've lived

through the Great Recession, 2008. That's what we graduated college into. Yes. And then now

obviously COVID. So if we were in some sort of situation where it was harder to find employment

for us for longer than

three to six months if we lost our job we have now, I think that would be, we'd be out, we'd be done.
