The thing about being homeless.... and I have known many and have been some what there myself at a few points in my life... I really entertained the idea of indulging myself altogether...... yes, indulging, because in being homeless you can give up the idea of living the perfect life. You do not have to be perfect anymore..in fact not even remotely perfect. It is such a feeling of bliss and freedom to NOT care what anyone thinks of you. Not to be overwhelmed with budgets, financing, responsibilities. Well, that is one side of it..

I have the same fantasy (mine is the cardboard box fantasy) of zero expectations, as much sleep as I want, no responsibilities. Only concern is warmth and food. Of course, the reality is much harsher but I do understand what you are saying...
I think you both need a good slap of humility and gratitude. If you are feeling the need to be "perfect" and you don't like the "responsibilities" you have, look to yourself. You have chosen them. We chose how we feel, what we make important to us, the need to be "perfect" etc. etc. You and your choices are your only true responsibilities! If you can't handle that, I am sure you can find a homeless person who will gladly change places with you and your priviledged life.
