If you were poor..

Ok this thread was inspired by:

So here's the story, you have nothing you are homeless you have no family. Not a penny to your name.

How would you feel, what would you do to survive in today's modern society?

 

Turn to crime, steal, rob, cheat, scam.
After all, If I have nothing, then I have nothing to loose. At least In prison you have a roof over your head, clothes and food.

I would just feel angry at society.

 

It really depends how I became poor.

I'd put in a lot of hard work to strive for where I was before, or, attain a lifestyle I find satisfying and not stop till I do. I wouldn't feel pissed unless It was out of my control. Your future is determined by your present actions minus uncontrollable circumstances.

 

Okay, to start i would secure myself some food/clothes.

Food - go to tescos steal a fuck load of food like cereals or something thats nutritious and has a long expiary date.

Hit up a shop like next/gap/topman etc go in changing rooms put clothes on underneith the clothes i was wearing and walk out the store, and repeat 3 times in different shops.

to go from there find an empty house to live in then work my way up from there, will continue this later.

If i wanted some quick cash id steal some electronics like that old lady did in the apple store

 

Try to live a life in the fast lane. Don't care about no risk, I just wanna frisk.

 

Become a heroine addict, because I have to be the best at something.

 

I'd probably just join a drug cartel, and make some serious money.

 

Whore my self out.
Finally an excuse for becoming a prostitute.

 

I would go to the homeless shelter.

 

Try to meet someone in a town I like and convince them to let me use their address as my mailing address. Then I'd get a job. I'd save up money for a lease on an apartment or studio while working my way up the corporate ladder.

 

You went down in my eyes.

 

that is really true, I would do the same if I had nothing or I would get a job and try to sort out things.

 

Realistically I would probably beg untill I could afford a squeegee, then squeegee till I could afford to get myself a meaningful job - even temporary labour agencies would work. I would live in a shelter.
Yeah...I'd be a squeegee kid living in a shelter lmao funny thread.

 

Pretty funny yeah, Funny that a lot of people are in this position and they all find it funny too.

 

go to a public library, and play runescape. run a portable bot from a flash drive, and make money on a paypal account with a prepaid visa card. awwww yeah!

 

Write music after stealing a guitar from another hobo

 

Try to get a job

 

- I would ask people for money until I have enough money to buy some clothes.
- Go to public swimming pools and take a shower, put on my new clothes.
- Apply for a library card and make my CV.
- Search for a job, will get paid.
- Rent apartment.
- Work my way up.

 

This guy a legend. Tbh i would prolly do the same.

 

lucky you

i'd try to get back up on my feet, if i couldnt and hit rock bottom then i would turn to crime and intentionally go to jail for shelter/food
