Have you ever been homeless?

Question

I am right now after my landlords told me to leave with no eviction notice. It really sucks, I sometimes feel like I’d rather be something else than homeless :(

I grew up that way. If you have some kind of a job it's amazing the things you can do "homeless". You might find you have been freed from the rent game. If you have a car or even an E bike you can find places to stay. If you're working all that money you spent on rent is now yours to keep. Even if you're in a big city, I guarantee you there are places to go. Heavily overgrown arias are good, get a small saw and cut your way in. A tent is good to start but get a shovel a pick or just a geologists pick and a gallon can. You can dig a huge hole fast that way. Dig it out, line it with boards, just keep making it bigger and eventually you'll have a room there. Put nothing on top but a tiny door, leave air vents hidden. It's easy to do because you're in thick growth. You've got it all over 90% of the "homeless" because unlike them you're not strung out on drugs all day. You can think. It's amazing what you can try. This lady had it pretty good but she didn't disguise her extension cord.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you have friends or family you can live with in the meantime. or maybe find a nice girlfriend.

as a kid I left the house for a few hours and lived in the car because I was disgusted. I eventually went back in the house.

I've seen more than one person become homeless, sometimes no fault of their own, just saw another video where lady couldn't pay high rent so lived in car, took year to find new place.

I didn't know they could do that, in most places there are laws and they can't just kick you out.

When I was 13 I ran away from an abusive step father and ended up homeless. An older boy who was also homeless took care of me and showed me how to survive and we started a relationship, we lived in abandoned buildings. That went on for about two years but the cops got me and turned me over to child protective services. Two weeks later my boyfriend was found naked in the dirty river, he had been beaten to death, they never found who did it. I ran away from foster care as the foster family were psycho dicks and the husband was pervy. I met an older kind man in his 30s who's wife had just left him for his best friend and had taken his kid who turned out not to be his. After a year of basically looking after his house and learning to cook we started a relationship, he took some convincing because of my age and what had happened but I saw the way he looked at me and eventually he couldn't resist. We got married recently and I'm having his baby so things worked out eventually.

I have never. I have always worked and save as much as I can and invest and pay my bills since I was 11 years old.
I worked as a babysitter, as a cashier, in a restaurant… I used my momentary to buy my family groceries and helped out… so that we can all help each other… by the time I turned 24, I save enough to buy my own car with cash.
I worked very hard to never be in a place like that…

I hope you find your way back and you are safe.

Do you have friends that will let you pay to stay at their place until you find a new home? A lot of jobless people are desperate for money and might take you in for a modest fee, trying asking retired people on a limited income if they will give you discounted rent in exchange for you helping with chores.

I am sorry to hear about your situation, man. If it weren't for my parents, I would be homeless too. This economy and job market is the worst! I wish everyone the best, although I am not going to sugarcoat that we are in for a rough ride.

No I've never been homeless but I think it's easier for women.. especially if you have children. I am glad I have my car though, as back up, of it did ever happen

. sorry for your situation.. must be so stressful

Simslover92 · Answer

I'm so sorry. That indeed sucks. I haven't thank goodness and I hope to never be. That must be really rough. I hope you are able to find another place soon. That's awful what they did and shouldn't even be legal.

No, i have been lucky but understand how precarious life is and how fast things can go from bad to worse.

MisterWack · Answer

Never, though I’m still young. Plenty of time to screw my life over big time or get screwed over in this life by other people.

If you haven't actually left yet then just squat there and refuse to leave.
