Thank goodness

Thank goodness we have a house with double glazing.

Thank goodness we bought a house worth less than half what the lenders said we could afford.

Thank goodness we have unemployment insurance.

Thank goodness we have a reliable income from a stable employer.

Thank goodness none of us rely on disability assistance - mobility aids, carers, etc.

Somehow, I still feel pretty sick.

In a civilised, first-world society the most vulnerable members should not have to feel so frightened for the future.

Nonetheless, I am frightened for the future. There's a possibility I could be homeless by this time next year. And all because I dared to contract an as-yet incurable illness.

And I'm by far not the only one. It's - it's really frightening.

I think the idea is that eventually, the wealthy will either house you or eat you.
