You can't really lose everything unless you really do it intentionally. Even then, I think it would be hard.

I have probably a dozen friends that I could stay with if I really needed to. How could I ever lose that unless I intentionally didn't call them? And even if i didn't, I could move back home with Mom and Dad, or with other relatives.

Your post reminds me of Fight Club in a sense -- the idea that self destruction is a path to growth. It can be, if you've build your life on falsehood, but sometimes destruction is just destruction too.
