Really? I would definitely rather lose a finger than go homeless. Homeless people have far, far worse life outcomes than people with missing fingers.

A specific person isn’t the average homeless person who tend to be dealing with addiction, physical or mental illness, past incarceration, etc.
So talking about the average outcomes of a random homeless person doesn’t really apply here.
Exactly, homeless people living on the street should really be called familyless.
If I went bankrupt and lost everything I have a social safety net of family members who would put a roof over my head until I got on my feet again. Only people without that safety net end up on the streets. Or they have addictions that mean their family can’t take care of them anymore.
