Not OP, but reasons that are pretty easy to imagine:
- Living in America and suffering from either cancer, heart disease, or any chronic illness.
- Have any number of children and not having a family member available to care for them before they are of school age and after school from Kindergarten until whatever local laws permit for the child to be home alone for a few hours a day.
- Buying a home at the wrong time and taking an absolute bath on the "investment" once some unforseen circumstance forces you to sell the home while upside down on the mortgage.
- Experiencing various forms of fraud.
- Experiencing a lawsuit in America, whether you came out as the winner of said dispute or not.
- Being 50 and having had the poor but not unreasonable "luck" of having worked for the wrong start-ups in 1999, 2007, and 2022.Those are just top of mind.
