I want to be a homeless

[badbobby656]

I know some homeless people can't hold a job for mental reason's or too poor to pay current high rent's but to say i want to be homeless and dont want to work is pure lazy.

There is nothing better in life then living correct having what you need not depending on anybody working hard to make it all happen chances are if you became homeless it was your own doing so stop complaining and do something about it !!

I want to point out its a free country one can choose to be homeless if one chooses to its not illegal to do that, but when you opt for something then its best to be prepared for it thats all. Even homeless or border homeless have to treat life as a business you need to be able to exist, make enough scratch to get by and live in a way to enjoy your choices. This is where choosing to do it is actually a good thing you can plan and then act on that plan far better making the transition successfully to the "street downshifted" and not compromise yourself.

I'm not apologetic I say look I work 40-60 hours a month very much part time and make enough to get by and doing things for the most part I like so what is the big issue in living like you do, I'm not stressed and am productive. I read enough by now to be as if I went to a university for a degree I think, my kept list of books I read is long. I also am active on the internet the one frill I pay for I have a cell-phone kept for 911 calls and otherwise use the internet for everything even mail. Other than these things I need food, clothes and keep clean and groomed enough and a place to hang my hat so to speak that could be a tree, walk-in closet, couch surf or other arrangement and I'm fine.

I spent 6 months trying to find decent work and in that time I got a lot of temp. jobs, and work for cash under the table stuff but nothing stable. I became homeless, lived in a tent for 3 months and spent ANOTHER 6 MONTHS trying to find work while couch surfing before I got into a school program, and got the funds to move into a dorm. I have mental problems and my time I spent homeless made them worse but not bad enough to qualify for help! I'm not a drug addict, have no criminal record, don't drink... BUT I'M ABOUT TO BE HOMELESS AGAIN BECAUSE NO ONE WILL GIVE ME A CHANCE AT A DECENT JOB! Is this my fault? Is this 'My doing?'...

Noone has to give you a job, I'm long term disabled I always assumed noone would hire me for a job regular and steady so made it a point to get several skills. Busking, making jewelry (I found seas shell pendants with silver accents sell nicely), getting a peddlers license for soda & water in my area a lifetime one was inexpensive at the time from my city and basically finding other ways to survive outside the system.

You simply are far less marketable than a stable, educated, nice looking and clean cut person period and end of story. But its not your doing what you have to do is get a mindset that you may never get regular work but keep trying while finding other ways to make money yourself.
