Survive off of your own waste until you stop producing it. Then steal cans of beans, repeat.

MILK 11-09-2010 02:40 PM

Well my ex husband is living off the government and me. Haha..

Akilldema 11-09-2010 02:42 PM

No it's not, he sold drugs.

Or his blood and sperm ;)

Akilldema 11-09-2010 02:44 PM

I actually know a guy who does that and after the bruising starts happening they cut you back big time.. there's no way you could live on that.

Homeslice 11-09-2010 02:48 PM

I thought it's plasma that pays good.

Akilldema 11-09-2010 02:49 PM

It's 30-40$ per donation here and you can only do it 2x a week max. That's what one of my brother's friends does. Dude looks like a heroin addict with the bruises and shit on his arms.

Go to cage matches, use some kind of personality that makes people dislike you, & get beat up for money

Amber Lamps 11-09-2010 03:55 PM

I lived for 2 years in El Paso off plasma and food stamps... Keep your expenses down and it's actually very easy...

For example, I pay about $460 to live here including the cable. If I got a gf to move in, I could survive on $300/month in money and I would get food stamps for sure, plus my utilities would be paid. Plasma and odd jobs could easily cover the $300. Heck, I've seen 4+ people living in an apartment this size before.:wink:

I know people like that. They haven't had a job in ages but every Wednesday night they are at a bar for ladies night, take vacations, cruises, and have pimp ass clothes. I honestly think money just shows up to them from god knows where.

And speaking of unemployment and drinking...

Hell, I lived for about 4 years while traveling with virtually no income. I donated plasma, did odd projects here and there like buying cars with mechanical probs fixing, and selling when I needed a big boost. One time I went to a tax auction and bought about 30 tons of scrap steel that was on the property and scrapped it all which was a pretty good payday. It's not easy but it is very doable, I could manage to go out once or twice a week. Downside my diet was the same every week and consisted of canned fruit, lots of pasta and bread, and the occasional hamburger/tuna helper. If you cut down on all the BS it is amazing what you can get by on.

Exactly my point of view... If you really look at what you spend money on daily, you'll find lots and lots of waste.

Captain Morgan 11-11-2010 06:12 PM

A buddy of mine and his wife live in a house owned by my friend's father. His father only has them pay property taxes, insurance, and utilities. Essentially, that equates to their rent being less than $100 per month, plus utilities. My buddy's only source of income is playing poker. He gets people to stake him, then he splits any winnings with those people. If he loses, and the same person stakes him again, he has to pay back the previous stake at a rate of 50%. He's actually a fairly decent poker player and would likely do modestly well if he played on his own dime. But his, and his wife's, money habits keep him from being able to go it alone. He's always waiting on that "big score" to set him up. When money gets really low, or poker isn't going well, he'll deliver pizzas.

His wife is going to school on government grants. Again. They've both quit more jobs than I've had my entire life because they weren't happy at the job, for pretty much the same reasons most of us are unhappy with our jobs. Their household income is probably less than 10k per year. His wife is supposed to get child support for her two kids, but whatever she gets is basically offset by the money my friend is supposed to pay his ex-wife for child support.

How the fuck is someone's property tax AND insurance total only $1200 a year? Unless the house is only worth like $80-100K redflip

You have to realize this is not SF Bay area. The 40-50k house they're in would likely go for 200-300k out in your area, at least from the sales prices I've seen.

Homeslice 11-15-2010 11:00 AM

Even so, the national median is like what, 140-150?

And 200-300 wouldn't buy you anything at all out here, unless it was an hour away from the city.

Quoted for absolute f'in truth. I know flint and even the "nice" side this holds true. Besides the miller mansions section.

Gas Man 11-15-2010 11:34 PM

Dude I use to work at dort, between carpenter and coldwater. Tt whole area is nice. Lol. But honestly u haven't even touched on the "culture" effect of streets like dayton and avenue a. Lol. Talk abt don't take ur suburban ass down. Oh boy was I glad to be packin when I made a wrong turn down tt ne area on my chopper. Lol

If I were still in Michigan (and single), I would take my grandmother's house near 475 and Carpenter Road. Bars on the windows and booby traps in the garage, of course.

My mom lives in the Kearsley area towards Davison (much nicer) and the 3,000 square foot house next door recently sold for $25K. Place is a joke.

I give, why wouldnt you leave your dogs outside?

Detroit <> Flint

They are similar economy-wise, but unlike Flint, there's actually stuff to do in Detroit.

Not a good guage, IMO. His tats could be 5, 10, 20 years old. What if he was in good financial shape some time ago and something devistating happenned recently that shook his world apart? Never know.

Or, he could be a full of shit scum bag. Never know.

Dejavu is always great. Especially in lansing. But my comment was a joke. Odyssey is a home of stretch marks, c-scars, and even pregos.

Mud I have not. But I hear its not as good as when it first opened. They moved all the "brought in talent" back out.

Mudpuppy 11-22-2010 04:25 PM

I don't frequent said establishments too much.. waste of money really.. but when someone else is buying i will definitely go..
