Why the fuck are you homeless you dog.

>>25987448
Good thing I live near a massive dense field. If I become homeless I will just get my one man tent and set up camp.

>>25987448
How did you end up homeless OP? And what you did to escape?

>>25987448
I'm on NEETbux, how do I turn 200 NZD / week into living on the street? (possibly earning more money)

>>25987682
Not homeless anymore, m8

First thing you do when you end up homeless, BUY A FUCKING SLEEPING BAG and a small backpack, I can't stress enough how important that is.

After the first 2-3 weeks or so, if you didn't kill yourself yet, your depression and suicidal thoughts will disappear, you WILL have to and you WILL interact with people to survive.

Community day centers, homeless centers and churches for food, clothes, showers and if you're lucky, accommodation during winter.

Go around churches and ask if you're not sure where to find these kind of places, they'll help.

Toilets in museums and libraries.

DON'T end up carrying a gigantic backpack after you, it's the worst mistake I've made, people will treat you as if you're sub-human if they see you carrying a house after you.

Keep your backpack as small as possible, get your clothes washed at said day center more often.

I've been briefly homeless, luckily I live in farm country so there were lots of abandoned barns and houses for me to sleep in, and it was easy to get my hands on potatoes and apples and things like that

And one more crucial thing:


If a another homeless dude tries to offer you a jacket or a hat as an act of kindness, DON'T FUCKING TAKE IT.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T FUCKING TAKE IT

>>25987448
you should have shanked them

Also ex-homeless (3 months).

Some friendly tips:

>If you're in a big city, avoid camping on it's center, go to there only if you want to collect cash
>If possible set up a camp somewhere outside the city or under a bridge or something
>DO NOT attempt to carry to much with you
>Bottle hunting is a priority, by simply collecting every bottle you see you can feed yourself for a day and save money
>Get a shopping cart for bottle hunting and step on the bottle before putting it in the cart to make more space.

>YOU FUCKING DOG

>not taking Diogenes as your mentor and taking it as a fitting name

I was homeless for a few months. I'm not one of those people who can just throw down and sleep anywhere, so I spent a lot of the time exhausted. If I was in the park, I usually wouldn't be able to sleep until the sun came up, then I would spread out my blanket and maybe get a few hours of sleep. I would also sleep in the bakery where I worked. I would wash the dishes and clean then sleep on one of the tables. This was on the days when the bakers wouldn't come in in the morning. It was an exciting/depressing time.

Getting arrested means he would have food and a place to live.

I'm pretty successful but I've always worried in the back of my mind that if I really screwed everything up I might one day become homeless, so I bought some property out in the country using an LLC so it's not in my name. The property has a small RV on it, which I stocked up with a bunch of survival gear, some hidden cash, food and enough supplies to start a big garden. I also have a cheap car parked in a storage place that is also not in my name, hopefully if I go bankrupt or something they won't be able to find out about it in time to seize it.
