THE CASHFLOW
QUADRANT

Chapter One
Why Don’t You
Get a Job?

To someone who values a job, it’s difficult to explain
why you might not want one.

In 1985, my wife Kim and I were homeless. We were unemployed
and had little money left in savings. Our credit cards were exhausted,
and we lived in an old brown Toyota with reclining seats that served
as beds. At the end of one week, the harsh reality of who we were,
what we were doing, and where we were headed began to sink in.
Our homelessness lasted another two weeks. When a friend
realized our desperate financial situation, she offered us a room in
her basement. We lived there for nine months.
We kept our situation quiet. For the most part, Kim and I looked
quite normal on the surface. When friends and family were informed of
our plight, the first question was always, “Why don’t you get a job?”
At first, we attempted to explain, but we usually failed to clarify
our reasons. To someone who values a job, it’s difficult to explain why
you might not want one.
We did odd jobs occasionally and earned a few dollars here and
there, but we did that only to keep food in our stomachs and gas in
the car. Those few extra dollars were only fuel to keep us going toward
our singular goal. I must admit that during moments of deep personal
doubt, the idea of a safe, secure job with a paycheck was appealing.
