I haven’t paid my mortgage in 3 years, haven’t paid the water bill in 7 months, haven’t paid the power bill in 6 months. Still have a home, still have power, still have water.

Not sure where you live, but Wisconsin moves faster than that. If I stop paying the mortgage today, we will be foreclosed by June 1 (not can, not may, will be) - only bankruptcy proceedings are able to slow them down - and evicted by Dec 1. All our current planning is based on that time line here. After May 1, if the power is in arrears, they can cut us off of gas & electric though we’ll make a payment plan and avoid that. At least the city won’t cut off the water.

Oh and we make too much to get food stamps…
