the grace of God and one paycheck
by Arisztid on December 1st, 2008
Not very much.
It would not be difficult for me to lose the battle and join the homeless. I do not have much of a financial cushion. Ok, basically none.
by Symbeline on December 1st, 2008
I'm warm, and they're cold. I can look all good posting about how I like to give them my spare change, then go to my warm apartment and feel good about myself.
They can't do that.
It's a sick world.

Honestly? The fact that I'm not homeless is probably the biggest and only difference...you never know what a person's situation really is or why they're in the position they are. I'm aware of homeless people who work, but can't get or can't afford housing.

Homeless person needs a home badly!
I already have!!
by DreAnna on December 3rd, 2008
I don't have to worry about freezing to death tonight, I am not hungry tonight, I have more than I need, they have nothing. :)
by slyflow on December 3rd, 2008

thats literally the only difference
by Que Sera Sera on December 3rd, 2008
I am fortunate to have a roof over my head, food in my belly and a job, and he/she is not. In God's eyes, there is no difference, for equally, we are both His children.

paycheck
by EmptyWallet on September 21st, 2009
I busted my ass for years, saved my money, didn't get drunk every night, do drugs or think the world owed me a living.

A homeless person knows to appreciate the little things in life, and takes nothing in his/her life for granted.
by thewhitetulip on December 15th, 2008
two paychecks. That is what they say the average person is only two paychecks away from homelessness.I used to volunteer at a sheletr and I was suprised at how "normal" the homeless looked. I had expected them to look like the media depiction but I was shocked when I saw a man in a three piece suit. I later found out he had lost his job the same day he lost his wife and kids in a freak car accident-he just lost his way.

by Sandra Smith on December 3rd, 2008
i think there is no difference,I would never judge a person on the street, that is GODS JOB, CAUSE THE NEXT DAY IN THIS BAD ECOMOMY, AND THINGS CHANGING SO MUCH, I MAY BE STANDING IN THE SALVATION ARMY FOR A HOT MEAL, RIGHT ALONG BESIDE THE HOMELESS.
by Jessica on December 3rd, 2008
A home and a job.
by romans116 on December 3rd, 2008
Creed from The Office puts it this way:
"The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job. I will do whatever it takes to survive... like I did... when I was a homeless man."
by Scrappy on December 3rd, 2008
Thankfully I am now NO LONGER homeless. I am blessed to have a place to live, clean clothes to wear, income, food to eat and a fairly safe life. Most people do not think about the fact that they are really 1 paycheck or 1 disaster away from being homeless themselves. It took me being homeless last year and left with NOTHING to really realize how blessed I was.
