After living through 22 years of Chicago's harsh winters, I finally had enough and sold most of my belongings, bought a 1987 dodge ram rape van, and lived homeless in it for 2 months in Coral Gables, just south of Miami. I chose Coral Gables because it was right nearby a bally's total fitness where I would go everyday to shower, work out, and occasionally play guitar in the parking garage staircase when I was bored.
Never been like "on the street" homeless though. I considered myself upper class homeless since I had a van lol. Anyone else??

Homeless doesnt mean broke and broke doesnt mean homeless.
Ive been homeless and had fat stacks of cash before.
Its like how only a small percent of people who sleep on the streets panhandle and only a small percentage of panhandlers sleep on the streets.
Nothing is mutually exclusive or inclusive.

I been there with nothing but the cloths on my back hundreds of miles from any one that ever loved or cared about me. Dark times. I'm still homeless in a way, I pay 100$ a month to sleep on some ones couch when I need sleep. Best thing to do if you're desperate is to find a fat chick to take care of ya mang

no i had a two year contract back home, and it works at any fitness center around the country. it was one of the determining factors for where I would go.

No but I have access to a computer, Cable/DVR, food, hot & cold running water and good company. It's me, my friend Capetian Ron, his GF who owns the house and her son who I think might look up to me a little bit. We go fishing all the time and shit and one time he stopped me from killing myself 
I'm getting a fucking tent tho so I can bang whores

I have couch surfed between friends places for a year when I was just out of high school. and lived out of my '88 toyota corolla for a month too. I was working at the time, I just didnt want to pay rent anywhere 
I will soon be homeless again in a couple of weeks though. I am selling my house, and have not purchased a new one yet. My siblings moved out of my parents house, and they invited my family to move in while we look for a new home. I guess we wont technically be homeless. My parents have a large house so its not gonna be cramped at all. But its still gonna suck livin at my parents with my wife and daughter and dog till a nice house is on the market we can afford. Should not be too long though

I moved out of an abusive home when I turned 18. I had no place to go but friends houses. I stayed with friends and friends parents for a year. I made my way to Virginia beach after I got kicked out of school for missing days to work. I lived with a navy buddy out there after 2 weeks of living in his car.
It was adventurous. I was lucky and didn't go hungry to often. I ate every week at least 3 times.
I never went hungry after I got a job at a pretzel time in the mall. Sure I was eating nothing but bread, but I still got to eat.
After a year of that I moved back to my parents house and finished school. I signed up with the Marines right out of high school to get away from my parents. While I lived there the last year I couldn't tell you how many times I was hit by my drunk mom. She is such a bitch but I did nothing back. I would just laugh and tell her I was to big for her to hurt and to give me all shes got. I laughed in her stupid face while she hit me. Dumb bitch.
