Drive 18 wheeler for schneider, they will train you.
Live in truck, see america. Save money.

Live in your car. If you don't have a car you should get one.

A shitty one is fine. You're just going to live in it, not drive it.

Put it in a place that doesn't get a lot of pedestrian traffic, but you also do not want it in a vacant lot or you will be spotted.

Why are you going to be homeless?

Gym membership, it gives you a place to maintain your hygiene.

Talk to other homeless, they will tell you where to get food, safe place to sleep...

>gonna be homeless soon
Why?

Why you are going to be homeless user? Share your story and we can help you. Theres a lot of Americans here, I mean some can help you out. Is really hard to live in the streets and you will be abuse alot.

some warnings:

pissing yourself might seem like a good way to warm yourself up, but then you've got wet jeans, and those are cold

if someone offers you something, but they want you to go somewhere secluded, you might be thinking "oh jeez, am i gonna have to suck dick for a ham sandwhich? i guess i could do that i haven't eaten in a month" they will most likely just be trying to get you somewhere that they can beat you up and film it

people like hobos who can do tricks, so learn like, a skill or something

Move to salt lake city, mormons have over 90% of their homeless in homes.

How much do you pay for your phone bill?

This faggot just saved your life.Do this Nancy boy.

Daily reminder that Hitler was homeless for a while in Vienna.

He had to sell paintings just to buy enough for food. Don't fret OP, you'll get through this. Scrimp and save and remember Hitler's example.

food not bombs is a reliable source of food one to two days a week if you're in a major city

flying cardboard sign that says "i want work not money" is incredibly effective if you're down to do work for a day.

google temp agencies in your city for construction work.

libraries can't discriminate against the homeless for any reason and for a dollar you can browse craigslist for an hour and find odd jobs that pay straight cash.

If you can fake being a superliberal and are (again) in a major city, you can possibly pay 50 bucks a week plus chores to stay in an anarchist collective house.

don't become some kind of street musician, they make the same money as flying a sign and do way, way more work. OTOH if you are a talented musician of any kind, you will make connections rapidly.

make contacts now, go out to where you're going to be making your nest and talk to the homeless people around there. tell them your situation and they may offer you tips.

It's summer so your only real concern is staying dry at this point. the elements can't kill you unless you're an absolute moron.

don't ever, ever sleep at a shelter, they're dangerous as fuck. think of the shelters as volunteer prisons. all the terrible shit you here about prisons is true for homeless shelters. the difference is, the weak homeless don't even bother with the shelters.

finally, if you're truly desperate for money you can find weird shit on craigslist like oldmen who will pay decent money to make a video of them tickling your feet.

stay safe and stay warm brother.

Get a job.

stop reading Sup Forums and look for work immediately...... duh

sell all your shit, and check into a homeless shelter, they will help you find work, work for day laborers.

this.

i parked in walmart parking lot for 2 months and just moved it around the parking lot every now and again.

just remember that a car needs to run for 15 minutes a day.

you're an idiot. homeless shelters are terrible 50% of the time, see my long ass post
i was homeless for 6 months and employed the entire time. try again jackass.

Heh.

Enjoy.

Good pay too c:

Pretend to be a karate master who can 'levitate', make sure you explicitly say you can get your hands and feet completely on the ground. If somebody calls bullshit bet them a fiver and when they're in just lay on your back. Works best on drunk early 20's white guys.

>Be American
>Be homeless
>Bring home paycheck
>Get shot for paycheck

Class c violent felony, truck companies wont hire me ;w;

no they wont, THEY WILL LITERATELY EAT YOU ALIVE BITCH. AND RAPE YOUR BODY. THEN EAT WHATS LEFT.

>just remember that a car needs to run for 15 minutes a day
Really? Why?

Why are you going to be homeless? Don't have money for the rent?

During the day, the public library is your best friend. At night, your choices are either the emergency room, or the toilets of a 24/7 Dunkin' Donuts.

Sleep during the day, stay vigilant and forage at night.

Being homeless is in America is only acceptable if you're mentally ill, otherwise sign up for government assistance and get a job you fucking loser. If a nigger here can get free housing, food, healthcare, and spending money, you should be able too.

Move to the west coast, seriously SF is a homeless shelter. You can get by on $15 a day from peddling/ begging. I see homeless people with brand new shoes either they stole or bought. Then they get mad when you tell fuck off cause now they're have to wait a minute for some other sucker to give them cash. It's always a young guy who doesn't want to work lazy fuckers

The first time you get jumped, and it will happen, remember everything you can about your attackers.

Then, track them, stalk them and kill them. You have no friends, just people you can get things from.

Trust no one, no one is safe. Also, if you're going to do drugs or drink do them alone.

Avoid camps with many people, if you see someone near your camp confront them and warn them off. If they won't listen, fuck them up.

It is literally you against the world now. And the world is a tough opponent.

Go to the welfare office they'll find you an apartment pays your rent, buys your furniture and gives you monthly welfare check
That's what I did

So, they gave you free aprtment and money?

get le job u leech xD

Do whatever you must to keep from being homeless.

go to a liberal city and go to jail.

Yeah they pay my rent 650€ and 485€ every month to spend as I wish.
Altho I'm not a NEET anymore. NEET mode is too easy here

This, showers for $10 a month. $20 if you want to go to any of their gyms. Also get /fit/.

Underrated Post

Wow...with such welfare support, tell me a reason to actually get a job

Kek get fucked bum get a job

If this happened to me I would live in a big college town. A famous college will bring in tons of middle class-wealthy visitors who may give you money. College students also (esp. girls) will likely give you money while begging.

If you're attractive and can manage a gym membership (Planet Fitness is $10 a month), you can use the gym to shower and shave, and on weekends go to local bars and hit on ugly women. They're more likely than attractive ones are to bring you back home. That would at least give you a bed every now and then.

As another user said, a public library won't turn you away. During the day you can stay warm in there and read/use the Internet. Use craigslist to look for odd jobs.

Out of curiosity, where is your family in all this? No one will take you in? Friends, family, etc.?

>don't spend your time with other homeless people
>if you have to camp in public areas be as clean as possible. You will get to stay longer
>get A Gym Membership! You can bath and maintain hygene
>you're homeless. Now is not the time to hate yourself. Now is the time to get your shit together

Hey user will you have a laptop? Can you code? Willing to learn?

I'm setting up a contract for about 5k CAD, to make a simple app for a guy and I'm gonna squeeze an extra 2k from him. I can give you a job.

The thing is this makes people passive and prefers to be NEETs even if they would find a job
That 485€ isn't that much tho. It's ok if you just sit on your computer whole time

Yeah but this thread is full of solid advice OP. Just to summarize:

>get a cheap ass car to sleep in
>gym membership for showers
>food stamps or church pantries to eat
>Obama phone to apply for jobs (and nothing else)
>if you're under 25 sign up for the job corps or the military to get a trade
>if over 25 get a pell grant and go to school for a trade
>this

Good luck OP

t. homeless for 2 years now stable and successful for 3

I see.

Now please tell me that you don't give free apartments and money to the "refugees"

Unfortunately and they get even more so called "refugee extra"

:-(

And I really liked Finland

apply for food stamps while you still have an address and transportation to get to the office.

the good news is it is summer so you won't freeze at night.

there are homeless shelters but they are mostly full of colored folk who like to rape white boys.

sign up at a blood/plasma donation center while you still have an address. you can make $30-40 a week selling your blood.

hardest thing about being homeless is having to walk a lot to stay away from the police and other homeless people who are crazy. your feet will have blisters the first week but they will toughen up eventually.

a wide brimmed hat will help if you are in a sunny area. prepare for a lot of sun on your skin. long sleeve shirts can make a big difference.

try and find a public park with several public bathrooms and a grocery store nearby that accepts food stamps. then you won't have to walk so much.

if you can, find a fat girl to be your girlfriend. she will have food and she will let you live with her because she is lonely. fucking fat girls is not that bad.

don't do drugs. you will get caught and put in prison. prison is worse than being homeless unless it is really cold outside at night.

bigger cities have more shelters and centers where you can get free food but they are also more dangerous at night and have more crazy homeless people to compete with. a small town with a church is a better situation. people at the church will give you food and money and clothes and possibly help you find a place to stay and a job.

most people who are homeless are legit crazy and addicted to drugs/alcohol. stay away from them. they will bring you down.

there are a lot of nice people who will help you if you try to stay clean and you are nice to them and don't yell or blame them or talk politics. just be humble and thank them for their help.

couchsurfing.com is a great place to meet people who will help you as long as you don't come across as crazy or desperate or weird.

believe in yourself.

Homeless user here. Learn how to travel. Hitchwiki is a site that gives some limited good advice on how to catch rides. Squat the planet is a social network for homeless kids. Apply and get food stamps right away. Google some Midwestern state fairs happening in the next few months and work one or two of them. Their expectations are low and in a span of around two weeks you'll make around 1000 to 1100 dollars. Use your foodies to feed yourself in the mean time and when you get your carnie money you'll have enough to at least rent a room in just about any city in the us (SF Los Angeles and Nyc obviously excluded) you will have a reference from the fair to get a shitty job in a kitchen. Congrats you just squirmed from lumpen proletariat to working poor. Don't hang out with homeless people and don't stay in a shelter. Oh yea get a sleeping bag and tarp for your temp shelter. Don't sleep on the side walk like a home bum find a nice wooded area on the outskirts and buy some rinse less soap from the camping section at Walmart also baby wipes and tooth brush. Never leave your shoes on for more than 12 hours at a time . This is all legit advice from a vagrant

Go deep deep deep innawoods, I would suggest you read up on bush craft before hand.

you can come live on my couch, just dont make a mess. i just finished sprint cleaning and i'd like to keep it this way.

Go join a fraternal order of monks

There are plenty of groups out there who are always recruiting.

This is coming from a pagan, but join a christian monastic order.

Military
Trucker
Monk

All three will keep you off the streets.

what?
he wont get a job that way, he wont move further in life, its only a bit better than prison.

Damn, sometimes my Sup Forumsack niggas can be true bros. I was expecting everyone to call him an idiot/degenerate.

Shame OP seems to be a faggot and abandoned the thread without saying shit.

Damn, user, fucking bringing it tonight!
Churches are super helpful. A lot of churches have, in addition to food pantries, evening dinners - especially in areas that don't have a massive homeless population. When I got out of the military and before I got reliable and respectable work, those dinners kept me from begging more than a few nights a week. I'll happily give up an extra 20 minutes of my night for a sermon about how God's going to make my shitty life awesome once we die and a few old ladies giving me copies of the help wanted ads from the newspaper if it means that my family and I get to eat dinner that night.
If you have kids, make sure you sign up immediately for free and reduced lunch. If times are really hard, you can get your kid to bring home food they don't like and their friend's leftovers.

You're hitting rock bottom and you should really take a moment to reflect on your pride. I don't mean to imply that it got you to where you are but it could easily keep you there.
What state are you in, OP?

Just crank the engine and let it run for a few minutes every few days to keep the battery from going dead.

Fake it till you make it Reverend Brother. Worst case scenario you just quit and go back to the streets. The Catholic Church has no authority to keep you a prisoner in a monastery except to tell you that a man with a beard on a cloud is going to burn you once you die. Just don't steal from them unless you want to trade one cell for another.

Fellow former homeless vet here, it's rough but we have advantages others don't.

Pretty sure OP is a shill though since he hasn't posted since making the thread.

America is not as socialized as Finland.
They won't give money to single adult males.
There is no housing for single adult males.

Best you can get is food stamps which is a debit card with about $200 a month on it.

If you boil your own doodoo and mix it with leaves and twigs it is safe and nutritious

Do not trust other hobo they are the lowest scum on earth with no morales and they feast from the toilet

Aren't you a little young to be a proxyfag?

Get yourself a club or pole, something blunt and lengthy that you can swing at some cunts head if he tries to jump you

No need for complexities. Every ounce counts, man. youtube.com/watch?v=PTAXUYLbFYk

just remember you have to carry that shit around with you all day and they won't let you bring a backpack into a store, it takes up a lot of room in a filthy bathroom stall and it is a problem in the library. best to travel light.

I was homeless for a period of two months in Portland Oregon. What I did was go on craigslist and post a job wanted ad saying I was willing to do any kind of work. A few days later I got hired at a bakery working with a bunch of illegals. I worked there during the day and slept under bridges or in alleyways at night. I did this long enough to earn enough for a month's rent for a computer and the cheapest room I could find (also on craigslist) and some nice people took me in and I ended up getting back on my feet. Do your best to stay clean, warm, and dry. Get the cheapest cellphone you can that has internet access. Avoid other homeless people like the plague, they have adapted to that life and will be stuck that way. Avoid police, alcohol, and drugs (that's how I got that way in the first place). As some have said earlier a car is a great resource but I just didn't have enough money for one, nor a driver's license.

The most important thing is to keep hope alive. Many people end up in this situation and are able to get off the streets just like I did. There are tons of resources out there if you just ask for help sincerely and aren't an addict or sociopath. Only beg or steal if you absolutely have to. If you need more advice or help you can always go to Starbucks and get on their Wifi and shitpost from there.

Good luck!

yeah stay with a family member

>into a store
there are no stores in the deep woods

You should post in the vagabond thread in /out/ OP.

This place is full of rich fags and boomers

Play music on the street for cash. Big city

You sound like an edgy teenager who's mom kicked him out for 2 days. OP it's not that complicated. Be smart and safe. Try to stick with a couple people. As long as you're not stupid/easy prey you'll be ok. Oh and stay away from black neighborhoods. Spanish neighborhoods are the best to be homeless in. Cops don't bother you as much and less dindu crackheads trying to rob you. Do anything except beg. If you beg people will be disgusted by you. If they see you around and know you're homeless but they never see you begging they're more likely to respect that and want to help.I've gotten offered money, food, or a day of work specifically because people saw me around but I never asked them for anything. Good luck.

was homless for 2 years, now im in medical school.
man the fuck up.
hasta la victoria siempre

serious question, how can he get a gym membership if he has no money?

>op hasn't responded to a single post itt
sage slide thread

Just unhook the battery you mong. also keeps it from getting stolen because carjackers are stupid niggers.

Find a fat single mom with no hope left on okcupid and live with her

Yeah I always heard never trust homeless people don't associate with them
