Living without an income...

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

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.
