only $20k?

Damn, I was hoping I would learn something from this. Too bad I already do most of it.
One word of advice I don't see is:
If you have old people in your family that go garage sailing GO WITH THEM!! Not only can they be cool (most of them. One of them was a douche, but he didn't go often.), you'll find out what to look for. Some of the dumbest looking lamps/vases/figurines/worthless shit can be worth lots. Or enough that you could make good money with volume. You'll learn names like Fenton, Enesco, Armani, Candelwick, Lofton and stuff like that.
I also know the secret of Ebay merchants. They go to closeout stores, or stores going out of business, or normal stores clearing out product buy everything then sell it. My aunt just spent $800 buying Target's after Christmas 80% off special. But she's a bitch and is going to pawn a lot of that off to those poor little kids at a Santa workshop. You know, when those old hags go to elementary schools and sell shitty shit for really expensive for kids to buy for their friends and family.
Don't be afraid to dumpster dive, or cash in metals or plastics either. Money is money.
Scumbagging it isn't so bad. As long as you don't hurt people, or steal with the exception of big companies if you absolutely need to. Money is money. As long as you don't infringe on other people's rights, there is no problem. Afterall business is about taking advantage of your environment. Not simply driving somewhere and doing something for 40 hours a week.

So true.
I'd rather be poor and have dignity than be wealthy and soulless.
Scumbag would be an apt description of this supposed, "hobo," lifestyle. Since when does a real hobo have a fulltime job anyway? Methinks the somantics here are a bit off. I'd say... tightwad, thief, liar, trash perhaps?
There are a couple nuggets of wisdom in there, but o the whole worthless.

A big company is one that would have no problem losing a can of food here and a can of food there. Especially since they way overcharge on most items. And let companies false advertise about their food being good for you.
I never steal more than I need anyway. The only times I did was when I was starving badly and had little cash on me. The item wasn't much either. Still stealing, but at least I took the time to think about it. Of course, I haven't stole since like back in the fall.

Actually I lied. I remember now. It was maybe during the beginning of winter. I was at Panera bread, and grabbed a big cup to fill up with coffee without paying.
I would have felt worse if I was actually stealing something. What I did was pick up a cup that cost less than a penny to make, and filled it with water that had been poured over some cocoa beans which probably cost .00824 cents or less per serving.

I've found that you can often get what you need by asking, I was homeless and hungry, I went to resturants and asked to do some work for food, I worked was fed and got paid in many cases, some times they just fed me, I ended up living with a gay man, he got me a job at the bar he managed, I made bank and everything was honest

Yeah, I find that too. Knowing that people are humans is the best thing you can know.
When I treat people that way, things come together so much easier. Sadly most people think that when people are working they become mindless unflexible robots who call the cops when anything goes wrong. Which can happen, but is rare.

Maybe you oughta steal a dictionary
ho·bo (hō'bō) n. pl. ho·boes or ho·bos
1. One who wanders from place to place without a permanent home or a means of livelihood. 2. A migrant worker.
Perhaps a better term for your lifestyle would be shyster
shy·ster /ˈʃaɪstər/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[shahy-ster] –noun Informal. 1. a lawyer who uses unprofessional or questionable methods. 2. a person who gets along by petty, sharp practices.

Yep. As I said above, the OP's somantics are fucked up.
Either way, theft is theft. There's no excuse for it, there's no ustification for it.. it is what it is.
And, the theft of IP, be that movies, music or otherwise is still theft.
Not gonna try and justify it, I still do it.
But taking that which you did not pay for and that which belongs to another to start with is theft.

Movies to Download (yes piracy is theft) - The companies were deprived of no tangible good. They were also deprived of no sales revenue since I wouldn't have bought these movies anyways.
So I just applied at a Christian homeless shelter - I know. It's real scummy to go help the homeless and starving. I bet it's a lot more classy to find ways to gain things I don't deserve, right?
Mushrooms are gay - Yep.
I can see the Mystic nutjob forum has degraded your arguing skills.

Booze into pubs, always take cheap shop booze if your on a night out. Never pay crazy bar prices. I usually buy one drink and slyly top up the rest from my cheap stash of shop bought alcohol.

I will usually only steal from large companies that allow an annual theft budget. Always be cautious, only use tried and tested methods and make sure the penalties are not bad in case you do get caught.
A thief is a thief. Know who you're stealing from? From every customer in the store. You are one of the reasons prices are going up.

Return goods. This is a variation on theft, many times I have returned goods to shops whilst keeping things I need. One of the best was obtaining an xbox hard disk. I returned the box without it, the store clerk was none the wiser.

You can lie to get into night clubs. Tell them you are a photographer for blah blah magazine. Pull a fast one, be creative, be confident.
Liar.

realize that you will not be disrespected for living like this.
I sure as hell think less of you.
Stealing's wrong man. You're saving money, but do so because you steal. And why? You've got some money, there's no need to sink to this level. Some of the stuff you do is good, other things are just.. wrong.
I can understand the needy stealing some food, but you got $20K and steal xbox harddisks.

By judging another man for how he makes his way in life, its rather obvious that you have either never ever been in his situation in your life, or that you have and that your upset because hes taking a different route than you did.
If calling someone a thief and a liar makes you feel better about your own life and your route to success than by all means do it.
