I lived in my car for a few months...lemme give you some advice.

1. You need to get on govt assistance asap. Food stamps ect..i mean go as soon as you can, like tomorrow morning and get in line. The sooner the better.

2. Since you have a job... Look for somebody looking for a roomate or sublease

3. If you cannot do number 2 yet, check out the local hostels or shelters

4. Lighten your load, sell what ever you don't need. If you can't fit it in your car, sell it. It will make your life alot easier...

5. Stop eating out (no fast food) it will eat through your money quickly if you're eating it every time you get hungry... buy a small cooler packs of bottled water and start making sandwiches...change out the ice daily.

6. Get a gym membership. a $10-$15 a month one or the YMCA and take all of your showers there.

7. Save enough money to get out of cali....go down south. Houston has a great job market and cheap apts all over the city.

God bless you...:wow:

i actually already am on "calfresh" food stamps but the cism out here is ridiculous, this arabian mofo at 7-eleven said something about me paying with ebt before he even know i had the shyt :wow:

and im paycheck to check cause i pay a car note, insurance, 24 hour fitness membership, cell phone (how im posting now) gas for my whip and i just had to find a dentist quick fast for a root canal that cost 5 stacks, and in top of all that my license is suspended for unpaid tix so i gotta drop about 700 total to get that back

fam, get rid of the 24 hour fitness membership and get planet fitness. 10 bucks a month or you could find the $99 a year deal and pay that shyt off one time. shower at the gym and get your pump on. it will kill time and you can wash your ass too.

like a said before, get that MetroPCS shyt for your phone if your current contract is about to expire. at least you have unlimited talk/text. Go to places with free wifi (like a local university) and use that too. one of the homie said something about selling all the shyt that can't fit in the car, and you should do that. if you got shyt in storage, SELL IT so youre not paying storage fees.

the car is basically your house so stay up on your payments/insurance

consider moving to the hood. not saying you gotta be living in some 1990's Ice Cube Compton type shyt, but the so-called hood is still one of the last places where you can get a decent price on a place. If you can get a roommate, for now, even better. Hit up craigslist and see who needs a roomie. But dont pay no more than 500-600 for a roommate type setup.

since you already get the food stamps, consider shopping for food at other places. Dont even fukk with 7-11 because you'll spend more. Go to a supermarket in the hood and cop some shyt that you can put in your trunk and easily assemble a meal with.

also, dont be idle with your time and spend it sitting around thinking about the situation your in. yeah, you're not in a position to be fukking broads every other day but find out what popping in the city youre in. i would imagine that theres all kinds of free shyt happening

and pay those ticket as soon as you can. you dont wanna get pulled over or have a cop roll up on you while youre sleeping and they can clearly see you.

back in Aug our lease was up so me and my old roommate road tripped to san diego and that nikka ended up moving in with his fam, leaving my ass hanging

it was cool at first cause its cali but now im starting to lose my mind brehs :to:

i got a job but im basically living paycheck to paycheck, should i commit dat?

You need to get off the streets as soon as possible. Living on the streets will make you lose your mind. Don't buy anything you don't need. Work out to focus yourself, keep up your hygiene and find quiet nature places to ease your mind away from the hustle and bustle.

Also, DO NOT QUIT OR LOSE YOUR JOB. Do whatever you can to keep making money. Your life depends on it. Try to get more hours so you can make more money. I wouldn't get rid of your car either but maybe you can sell it for rent money.

you can't stay in a hostel unless got a passport, i tried that shyt when i met these swedish hoes at the beach

sup with all these personal questions tho? a nikka just need to know if i should commit dat or not
Why would you kill yourself? Just drive back to your place of origin and crash with your own family after you CA adventures are done.

Craigslist in your CA city will have you housed by nightfall if you're ok living with strangers.

Where do you shower and shave?
  • Some hostels are gross. I would rather sleep in the back seat of my car.
  • The Bowery House in NYC is kick ass with expensive, sheets & towels & body wash. Private cabins, even! :smile:

Join the military, get an education, stack some bread and get out...

This a good idea. He should sign up as soon as possible. OP, don't worry, you're just there to get paper and get out. If you want to stay sane this is what you'll do. Now, the ASVAB military entrance exam is difficult for those who aren't naturally good at academics, so you should prepare by doing ASVAB practice problems and tests. Go to your local library.

fukk what an Arab mofo thinks about how you're paying him. That sand nagger should be happy they let him into the country (over my better judgment). fukk what anyone else EVER thinks about you from this day forward. You must be kind to yourself. You must love yourself. YOU MUST SURVIVE.

When your license was suspended, was the physical card taken from you? You need photo ID to get into most hostels. Not nec'ly a passport, but a driver's license and a bank card. Call ahead to see if each hostel under consideration will accept whatever photo ID you have.

Swish mouthwash (the kind that stings) during your entire shower DAILY. It will kill the bacteria that rot teeth. Buy a sonicare robo-toothbrush next time you have disposable income. <--- Not kidding.

Pay your fukking tickets, numb skull. It aint optional.
