    I hit rock bottom every now and then, once or twice a year on average, because of my lifestyle choices (no bank account, no credit cards and all that). And, yes, I dumpster dive for food if there's no other solution, except for stealing which I think is not fair. I was also homeless here and there for a few months in the last ten years. For me it was an education of sorts and still is. For some unknown reason :) I'm still here.
