Because it’s a tradition from the old testament that some (by no means all) churches use. It’s nowhere near as universal as your own anecdotal references seem to imply.
I’m assuming grandchild, cause momma is more of an EVE hybrid anyway.

Thus far they have only led to authoritarian regimes. Even Cuba is little more than a benevolent dictatorship.

You’d have to intentionally tank your credit score, burn all your bridges, probably even take up an addiction or two, to get anywhere near the same kind of experience.
Bonus points if you impose a familial burden. Having a child, or at least a bag of sugar you have to stuff several hundred dollars into once a week in lieu of personal expenditures to avoid putting an actual child through that stress, so your concern isn’t strictly for yourself.

It’s not like he completely forgot his entire life before he started the “experiment”. He had both skills and a history. I’m not so sure it’d be as possible for someone who’s been homeless for a while, or ended up homeless because of a wealth of problems both financial and psychological.
He is a literal temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
