The following story made sense in my head but it might be out of order:
My current job is a temporary gig. I'm pursuing one line of employment but it could take a while and I might end up in limbo and unemployed for an undetermined amount of time.
I was discussing the situation with my mother. I often make the joke that "Work is overrated" The thing is I half belive it when I say it. She didn't seem to think it was funny.
I still live at home and the cost of living in So. Cal is crazy. If I don't end up with a "real" job in the near future I'll be at home for at least another year or two despite the urge to leave. She really didn't like it when I jokingly said, if I have to, I can be a homeless person. I think it genuinly upset her to think that her child would ever end up living on the street.
I'm not lazy when it comes to working a job but I'm not super ambitious and I'm not 100% sure what job I want. She said I could work three jobs to make a living if I had to. I argued back that working three jobs wouldn't be living. Spending 8 hours a day at a job already seems excessive if you ask me. I can't imagine dedicating more time to working just to say I live on my own.
I'm not sure I have what it takes to be homless and survive on the streets but I encounter homeless people quite regularly working downtown and they seem to do a good job at it.
