Yeah, I fully realise that not everyone would be prepared to give up the conveniences that they are used to in order to find work. Which is why i said my lifestyle doesn't necessarily translate to everyone else.
Still, it's just a case of adaptability. I lived in a tent/crashed on couches for a couple of weeks a year or two back while looking for work. It would be harder to do with children in tow, certainly. But again I think that one of the 'shortcomings' (read: 'things I don't like') of Western consumer culture is that we're too attached to our daily routines and static creature comforts. I think a bit of 'upheaval' is healthy for people. I could get into my wishy-washy theories of how our bodies just arn't designed for sedentary lifestyles etc etc but that would overly self-indulgent...
