If you were homeless.....and had nothing going for yourself.....

[Lavish]

I was homeless for 5 months. Had a full time job and everything Slept at work, had a few different places i could shower, just sucked not having a stove but i did have a foreman grill. Itll test your mental fortitude being homeless. im good now though. I have my own 1 bedroom apt. Wont say lifes good but im ok

damn son. im assumin you had to sneak your way in work to sleep?

 

[EVILRICO]

Being homeless, but still posting on the the-coli from the libary computers

 

[beejus]

but here's the plan.

first off. i would always have a shower.
cause being homeless doesnt necessarily mean you dont have a job. being homeless just means you dont have a place to call home. sometimes you can make so little money to the point where you cant afford to pay rent or a mortgage. and you either dont have any friends/fam to stay with or they're sick of you already. so now you're OFFICIALLY out on the streets. but with a paying job. as long as you have a job. you pay for a membership at your local GYM. why? so you can use the showers.

now if by chance you're flat broke, no job, nothing.

then either make good friends with the workers that work at the local gym and tell them your story and say you just atleast want to keep clean so you can go out and look for work. they might just let you in to take a shower every day. its not like you will LOOK homeless to any else in there. or you wait outside and ask people to give you one of those tour passes to the GYM so you can walk in there legit. and use that shower every now and then.

worse case scenario. you go into a store and steal some wet whipes. that will keep you much much cleaner then your average homeless person walking along the streets.

so now you're clean. now you're not looked at as homeless. so now you can try to find a job. here's the hitch. you need an address so when you apply for jobs. ask someone you know if you can use their home address as your house address. lucky for this generation of homeless folks. you can get a cell phone for nothing and just do the mins as you go. while you're collecting change. you make sure to keep enough mins for that phone just in case a job calls. dont make any other calls on that phone.

so now you have a phone, home address, and you're clean. that should be enough to find a job some where.

the beauty of living in los angeles is weather is not much of a problem. I would live on the westside in those white neighborhoods close to the really nice parks. i would be around about the city all during the day. and late at night i would go into the park and find a good spot. and crash out. wake up around 4 am or so. so no one would notice me. then start hanging out around the city again. keep the cops from pushing me away from the nice area.

best thing i could tell you is to be nice to everyone no matter how shady they are towards you. be talkative. this way especially white folks that have money would love talking to you. you know some of them love those "blind side" moments. you know where a white person can save a helpless black person to make themselves feel good.

next thing you know someone gives you a little job. and bam you're off to the races.

now since you still probably aint making enough to pay rent. you go and buy yourself a bucket. remember you dont have any over head. so you have been saving up. go get yourself an old pickup truck that runs for cheap. then by yourself one of those trailers that people can sleep in for road trips. you work that angle until you can save up enough money or move up in the company or get another job so you can actually have enough doe to pay rent somewhere decent. to keep the police off of you while you're living out your trailer. just move around from nice area to nice area. and plug in your generator at the local walmart parking lot. they have plugs on the light poles a lot of times.

get ya weight up. blog about it on the internet using free library computers, get enough people to view your blog "My homeless life" and start selling add space. then write your book about the same thing. and get ready to start trying to sell your story to make a movie out of it.

**as long as i'm living in decent health with all of my mental faculties. you cant hold me down to long**

and notice the only thing i've stolen here was a few boxes of wet wipes.

You sir have thought this out and I respect that.

I've always questioned why there are homeless people living in the Northern states. Too damn cold most of the year. Give me California or Arizona. If I couldn't use a shower at a gym or the YMCA I'd look for showers near the beach. The ones where people get all the sand off themselves.

As far as living. If this is possible and I'm not sure it is? I'd look for an old school style storage unit. One of those ones where they don't keep track of when you come in and come out. Make yourself a home there. Monthly rent on one of those can't be too much. Other option like said above would be to find a van or a truck with a canopy and live in it.

If you can get a job and that's a big if. A lot of homeless people have records and are on all sorts of drugs. Good luck getting a job. If you aren't a drug addict get a job at Taco Bell or Little Ceasars. Or you could try to get a job mowing people's yards. Go door to door in decent neighborhoods not super nice as they already have someone doing their yards. Ask to mow their yard for $5-15.

I've also seen a guy go to new sub divisions knocking on doors and installing doorpeep holes for $15. He just uses a drill and installs the peephole in about 5 minutes of work.

If all else fails just do drugs.

@ these responses.

i'd just take care of my hair, teeth, nails, and fitness and shack up with a FIT, pleasant white girl.

 

[Broke Wave]

Real talk I would just try and stay clean, and plot every single waking day of my life on a bank/armoured car robbery. I would devote my whole life to it and if I failed, at least I'd go to the pen where its free food and rec You ain't gettin raped in jail in Canada and they could put me on that work release swag. Gotta get it in.

 

[Handsback]

I'd catch some kinda ride to Hawaii.
shyt if I'm homeless it might as well be somewhere that's nice.
Get a hold of a fishing pole and tent and live the good life.

 

[PabloEscobar]

slang pipe on the internet ala justin slayer/lex/mandingo/etc

 

[Ronnie Lott]

If times were that tough. I would find the 1st fat white chick with low self esteem and live off her. I would be good

 

[Rominati]

Get me a white girl

 

[Lavish]

bein homeless for a month+??

not possible. Im too paranoid and would panic like a lil b1tch

 

[Dirty_Jerz]

shack up with a FIT, pleasant white girl.

[BruhMayne]

Its sooo many nikkas that would be homeless at this very moment if it wasnt for some low self esteem white girl with two mulatto curly head babies from two different dudes who she had met prior

 

[GoFlipAPack]

damn son. im assumin you had to sneak your way in work to sleep?

nah i didnt have to sneak. everybody was gone for the day

 

[Kalik]

$30 join YMCA a month, gym/showers, wifi access
$20 for a good storage unit to sleep safe at night, keep my clothing and belongings
$50 basic android phone service (phone + internet)

$100 a month - to blend in with society and not appear homeless.

=====

Work a minimum wage job (fast food) until I get back on my feet $7.50x 30hrs (prolly be less than 40hours cuz these jobs aint tryna give benefits). Plus I would eat the free fast food

After taxes... (minus the $100 above), try and get a car
====
Once you get a car.. try to meet a chick and get a place together. (See Bruhmayne post above)

There's places where you can do temp work and get paid daily. Find one of those and sleep in the dumpster a few days and get your money right. Get a cheap ass hotel and continue to get work until you can find a minimum wage job nearby.

Work that until you can buy a reliable but very budget priced car (500-1000) Then go on a killing and robbing spree down the mason dixon line. Only hit ma and pa stores and burn down the property afterwards.
