I know this board is mostly about crypto but I don’t really know anything about crypto.

I’ve been living in my car for almost a year now, I work hard but barely get paid. My car just ran into some issues and it’s going to cost everything I have to get it repaired, I was just about to sign a lease for an apartment at the end of the week but I can’t afford to now.
I’d like some ideas on things I can do to get a little bit ahead. Im a young guy and can work hard, I just have a shit job and don’t know how to get a better one.

I worked 52 hours last week. My car payment and insurance is high, it’s almost $400 a month just for that. Then it’s like $100 for my phone, $200 for gas.
I’d save money on food if I could cook for myself but it’s very difficult when living in a car.

Not him but if shelter isn't a human right what even is there?
You can't eat for free to survive, you can't live in a place, and in a near future you won't be assured to have water you can drink.

Bring back slavery at this point, we should be grateful that we have rules not allowing people to kill each other but it's just another thing that benefits the rich.

Shit is gonna hit the fan big time and nothing is done to avoid that.

Try moving to a city with high baseline pay, like Boston, New York, Miami, etc. You might be able to pull around 15-20 an hour as a waiter or restaurant staff, which should help get you an apartment in the suburbs. You should also check for living arrangements that are cheaper, with roommates, companies like splitspot, livethatch, craigslist postings, etc offer this. Living with flatmates is typically 33 to 50% cheaper than living alone.

Mississippi has places you can rent for 500 per month, the minimum wage is 7.25, meaning if you worked for 40 hours a week, you'd have about 1100 per month. More than enough to cover rent and living expenses.

Move to California
Sign up for the CCC
they hire homeless people who live in California.
Pay is about $3,000 a month. You live in a barracks, food is provided.
It's literally a socialist program that california has to mobilize homeless people and turn them into contributions to society.

I signed up & instantly got a call back saying I'm accepted within 3 days. But I told the recruiter I decided to join the NAVY.
The only requirement is that you have to be below the age of 25

>> No.50306531

Realistically you need about 1500 to afford moving into a place in a tier 3 city so you set the goal there. By tier 3 city i mean like fort wayne Indiana.Try to look for warehousing, driving/delivery jobs and try to save up to the 1500 point. Local goodwills have job and resume writing classes. You will need to temporarily work with a homeless shelter to list a permanent address and use it to get a PO box at usps for mail.

Do whatever you can to move once you have 1500. Look at shit tier city craigslists or apartments websites and find some shitty apartments you can get in cheap. Apply for jobs in those cities furiously until you can find a workplace. Once you have the workplace set up and a start date a week or two out, Use part of the 1500 to pay for gas and drive to the city. Front an airbnb or a hostel/motel and start working whatever slave labor city job you can find. Apply for all the apartments with your 1st paycheck verification or a certificate of employment the week before your job. Sign the rental lease for a year and put down basically all your remaining seed money on the rent and security deposit for the first month.

If you can't get 1500 and are too unfunctional to get a job that can make that then apply for EBT/SNAP... then you're pretty much fucked man. I'm sorry, society is brutal.

After a year or two of working for the CCC you can EASILY join CalFire. Their starting pay is 75k/year.
They accept felons, former drug addicts, prisoners, anyone.
There's no excuse anon. JUST DO IT.

While you're in the CCC you train every morning, and after training is done, you don't have anything to do.
That's when some CCC people go to their second job.
So realistically there's no reason why you can't make 5k/month.
If you get deployed to a Wildfire, they bump your pay up to 6k for that month.

>How do I escape homelessness?

i suppose you're the one who's really getting the short end of the stick, assuming you're american. we have things like labor laws and minimum wage for a reason. that is, because we want a decent standard of living for all our citizens. but when we allow businesses, large and small, to outsource labor and use cheap migrant labor, it pretty much defeats the purpose. trade tariffs and border/immigration control should be strong enough to keep most people who can write complete sentences and aren't severely mentally ill from living in cars.


that is, assuming your story is real. don't your handlers take good enough care of you propagandists that you don't have to live in cars?
