My take was that he left the workforce to spend more time with his family, and that was the explanation for his two year resume gap that ultimately snowballed into homelessness. I don't know what the lesson is, but it is either:
1) Find work-life balance so you don't feel the need to take an extended sabbatical to spend time with your family.
2) Even if you really want to take time off to spend time with your family, being continuously earner is more important. Even $500k in savings disappears quickly if the job market turns.
