I'm going to be homeless

Name: Anonymous 2011-11-09 0:43

I'm out of money and haven't been employed in two years. I've already sold most of my belongings over the past little while to get by. I can't pay my rent at the end of the month. I have no friends and my parents were hateful people whom I haven't spoken with in years ever since I moved out--I don't dare try to reconnect with them if they're still alive.

So I guess I'm going to hit the road with my thinkpad and backpack of clothes. It is pretty cold out so I guess I'll try to make my way south. I've still got until the end of the month, but tonight I'm feeling more depressed and hopeless than usual.

Facing the reality of it all is difficult. I'm just another forgotten white male in his late 20s who is no longer employable in this ``politically correct'' society.

So aside from heading south and trying to get a few meals in where I can, even if I have to beg for it, I'm not sure what the future holds for me.

No social housing, I guess. Can't you earn enough money for the rent on vworker-like sites or at the very least on amazon mturk?

Well, that's appreciative, but even it it were possible, I would decline, I'm not one to accept too much charity, I doubt it would work out for more than a few days anyway, I'd probably break down and it would be awkward.

All I want is a job again. It doesn't even have to be a software development job at this point. I keep getting turned away for being over-qualified (what they really mean is that they're intimidated). But there's nothing really available here. Maybe I'll get lucky and find something in another state.

Incidentally, I tried to join the army last year, but I didn't pass the physical, they wouldn't take me with my asthma.

I'm sure it'll work out somehow. I mean, if I die of starvation on a highway out in the middle of nowhere for example, at least I won't have to worry anymore.

* Don't have too much pride to go dumpster diving. Supermarkets throw away perfectly good food all the time. Dumpster diving is the single most valuable thing you can learn when you are homeless. Sell anything you don't need at a pawn shop.
* If you buy a basic set of lockpicks you will be able to pick the locks on most dumpsters, business, gates, padlocks, etc.
* Don't sleep on the ground. Climb up on to a roof to sleep. Lockpicks will be invaluable here -- you would be surprised how many businesses have crap locks. Another idea is to sleep in the library or in stores open 24/7. There's many places in a city that have been forgotten about that will harbour a nice residence.
* Microwaves can help make food safe to eat. Utilize them where ever possible. If you want a free coffee with your drink go wash a cup from the trash and get your free refill.
* Keep your feet clean and dry. Don't wear shoes too small for you.
* Learn basic shop lifting. This is a great way to get things you need. If you are too anxious or scared try drinking some alcohol before hand. If there is no alcohol staying awake for 2 - 3 days will have similar effects.
* Buy a multi-tool, it has 1000+ uses.
* You can use newspaper as insulation when you're cold. If possible buy a flint -- it will last longer than a lighter and it will work even when wet.
* Try to get out of the city, it's dangerous when you're homeless. If you can't try to find a group.
* Most of all don't lose hope. See this as a challenge and rise to the occasion. Some people do this as part of their life-style and don't see it as a disadvantage; it's all about perspective. You may like it.

(Extended.)
* You can use public restrooms in establishments to freshen up. If that's not available find some place where you can expose yourself to the air and sun light. It will help with hygiene.
* Clothes can be lifted from shops and also charity bins. These bins also offer a great place to sleep but be sure to check for other hobos first ;).
* There are many occasions where free food is offered: Breakfast, and Lunch sometimes free at many Hotels. Weddings. Apartment lobby's (free coffee, access to a fridge, microwave, etc.) Free samples, etc. Some paths are only visible when you're forced into a corner ;)
* Train hopping still works in America. Use it for travel.
* Pan handling can offer quite a lot if you are man enough.
* Scams can be a viable source of income but stay away from drugs. You will only meet parasites.

Drink yourself to sleep. It's a coping mechanism proven to work by generations of bums.

Lulz, I dunno, claim that you are a transsexual or at least a faggot! If you are held down by the ``political correctness'', that must work!

Learn to be self sufficient and live off the nearest wilderness.

This should be the happiest moment of your life, the Buddha teaches us that it is our needs that make us sad, you have a good chance to get rid of yours.

Yet you can't get any old job to pay your rent?

I'm calling bullshit on this one.

Don't change these.
