Big deal. Living in shared houses with up to seven tenants was the only way to afford a roof over my head as far back as 2009 in Australia. I went from there to living in a VW van, then a concrete yacht. At the age of 67 I finally bought a house in the country with a small legacy from my father, otherwise I'd still be living rough today.

I'm not mentally ill or a criminal or an addict, just an ordinary working guy who never made a lot of money due to unstable working conditions in my industry. I'm a trained electronics engineer.

Can you tell me more about the “concrete yacht”? What is that?

Probably an old sailboat with a hull made of concrete. I've seen a couple and they all were basically in use because it was easier to live in than dispose of.
