I know the bible says Paul learned to be content in whatever state is was.
I am miserable due to quality of life.
Life is working all the time while chronically ill with expensive Dr bills and exhausted for poverty wages. If I choose to take care of myself and enjoy life instead I would be homeless. I'd honestly choose homelessness over working full-time if it wasn't basically illegal in the US to be poor.
I'd work part-time and live in my car just to have more freetime and save money on rent. Why should I pay 75% of my check to have a small roof over my head typically with minimal privacy, loud neighbors who smoke pot, or bed bugs and these are in "nicer" areas.
I'm not sure how bad it was to be poor in Jesus's time, but I wonder if the poor went to prison for not having a house. Or shunned by society and ignored by family and friends for being homeless. Or if the homeless were murdered because people think it's funny to stab someone on the street.
No, I am not homeless btw, but I feel like what is life in this prison of a society. We lock people up for bad reasons for years....
What is life when your poor in America?
