I'm guessing if you exercise selling your plasma would be a bad idea?

Well I live in Ohio the winters are cold.The area I found the apartment in is in the Twinsburg area,its a pretty nice area.I got some good news today though. One of the part time guys I work with told me his place was hiring, starting at $12.00 and after 3 months probation $14.00.He told me he would refer me.I'm very excited if I get this job I will have it made.That's almost a $5 dollar an hour pay raise. Thanks everyone,its awesome that a online community actually gives a damn and has so many great people.If I don't get this job at least I have learned some ways to survive on bare minimum.

i don't know where the fuck Twinsburg is, but if you can commute to work from Columbus, you can rent a room at the YMCA for $70/wk and there are weekly rates at motels starting at $110/wk, and i'm sure various churches etc. put on free meals every day of the week.... it would all be pretty ghetto, and slightly dangerous, but it is cold in Oh by golly hi o and you can't be out on the streets... pan handeling on the college campus in your free time.... donate plasma... there are handfuls of people looking for roomies in The Other Paper and The Columbus Dispatch....apply for day labor, get paid the same day...... sometimes there are room n' board jobs available in the paper for house cleaning etc.... and there are always ads in the gay papers for people looking for "house boys" you could find yourself a rich daddy and never work again :P
just don't waste time, move forward.... keep cool, calm, and collective and be prepared to work hard to get your life together.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

this is actually true about peanut butter. i learned in anthropology just the other day that humans were meant to eat high fiber stuff like nuts and actually could subsist on them for their entire lifetime.

I'm fucked what else can I say.I have $14.38 in my account,I work 40 hours a week but it's just not cutting it.My rent is coming up in about 10 days.Does anyone have any advice,by the way I'm posting at my aunt's house.She has Internet connection, I'm not looking for pity I'm looking for advice. I did find a cheaper apartment $450 a month everything included,electric,sewer,ect...,.I doubt I can afford this for at least another 3 months.So my question is,how can I survive living out of a car for 3 months?I need advice on how to eat cheap,stay warm,and basically stay safe living in my car. Thanks for any advice,I'm going to try to get a second job.That away I can afford a place to stay. If my aunt lets me use her computer I will keep you all updated. I really appreciate any advice,thank you for your time.I'm not looking for a hand out if that's what your thinking.I just want some advice from people who have been where I'm at.
Where you you live? get a place where someone is looking for a rooommate; or check intoa place that has you pay weekly. FUCK this place. If you rely on the companionship here..well...rent a computer, live in your car for a bit... things will turn out for you. Get the second job and what the desperate may do; the desperate does. Keep your chin up...
How old are you by the way?

I stayed with my father for a while but thats not working out because i have to much pride to leech off of others. I eventually got a job at Northwestern illinois university doing biomedical engineering research but it still doesnt pay the bills. However, after 3 months of living in my car, im almost to the point where i can get an apartment (and just in time, try living outdoors during a chicago winter). Now i will be working towards my PhD. I just hope that all the wealthy people who recieve non-infective metal implants realize that i was one of the people who saved thier lives and recieved next to nothing for it.
We need to work extra hard just to get by as opposed to the people who came from a better background. The best advice i can give is to just accept it and work hard to achieve what you want to achieve, then say "fuck you" to all those who think they are better than you.
If you can't support yourself doing biomedical engineering research you need to cut out the 2000 dollar an hour prostitutes. Seriously though, what do you spend your money on....

In the US it takes 60 days to throw you out legally if your really in a hard spot. That means 60 days until the cops put you and your shit on the street.
