Play the game, see if you can avoid homelessness
These days, with the recession dragging on, more people are becoming sympathetic to the plight of the newly homeless.
At the same time, a lot of us still feel like it couldn't happen to us. Now there's a site dedicated to proving how wrong you are.
It's a game. You start as a laid-off person, running out of money and making your own financial decisions. Then you see how long it takes you to end up homeless. (I guess it's possible there's a way to win this game, but so far, I haven't found it.)
