What happens to a person that lacks the skills to pay their own bills?
Often they do some juggling of paying one bill one month and another bill the next. They may feel that they need to buy something and so they purchase it while ignoring their rent. There are other times when the person that they entrusted with their money may exploit them. What happens to a person like this is they risk homelessness.
