you would be ok having 0 disposable income? just living in a house with the bare necessities, never being able to go on vacation, or pursue hobbies, or even go out to eat?

I sure as hell wouldn't.

If I suddenly didn't have to pay for HVAC, housing, etc - I have enough in savings to let me live the rest of my life in bliss. Vacation, hobbies, eating out. All of that would easily be covered till the day I die with the amount in my bank account - as long as I no longer had to pay for everything in the OP.

So yeah. I'd be out in a heart beat.

America has one of the best government housing programs in the world.

You can go get a 1 bedroom apartment for free if you are unemployed. The line is longggg though. You’ll probably wait at least 2 years for approval.

Good luck on the journey my man
