You exaggerate the consequences of simply quitting your job/profession. You won't be pushed into the "margins of existence" if you don't have three months' salary saved up. People do it all the time. However you define homelessness, you won't end up without shelter or food. You'd even be better off than the guy you describe who doesn't read substack articles.
Are you hemmed in by fear of a bad credit score? Is that misery on the margin of existence? (Is your non-substack reader a miserable person on the margin of existence?)
