I was homeless for a few months last year while I was waiting for this housing grant to come through because the relative that was supporting me at the time had a heart attack at work and couldn't support me anymore due to his declining health.
I rented out a cheap storage unit and bunked there. I lived off Taco Bell's $1 burritos and free WiFi where I got my studying and gaming done with my laptop. I still had the money I was receiving from donating plasma so I was OK as far as food and what not but even if I didn't, I would figure something out.
So yeah, having been there, I would also take homelessness over working a job like the OP is having to any day. That would be especially true when I get a vehicle because living in a car or some type of van isn't all that bad.

While that sounds like it was rough, I wouldn't define it has homelessless unless you didn't have somewhere to bunk. Besides, if you're resourceful, then you should be able to find a solution before hitting that point.
Furthermore, I doubt OP has been in either sitation.
