@the_OFFICIAL_jAPanese_teaBAG: I live in Toronto which has a ridiculous amount of them, but it's not exactly hard to get used to. They're just there, and they are easy to ignore. Maybe it's because I've spent my entire life downtown, but it's hard to see them being that frustrating if they aren't exactly doing all that much.
homeless centers only keep people for a week or so.
you should go to grocery stores that have can, bottle returns and take the ones that people leave there for when the machines don't take them. i work at a grocery store and there are like 4 people who do it.
And is it a good idea to become one? I need the advice of users who have been homeless.
I have many questions like:
Will I get to do nothing all day or will my days be spent preoccupied begging and scavenging for money/food? If it's the latter then that sucks and it would kind of defeat the point of becoming homeless in the first place.
Will I bored all the time since I have nothing to do and can't play games?
Where will I sleep? Poop?
Is it true that homeless people get raped? Someone on another board said this.
Am I in over my head?
Also there was that one anime where a girl lived in a tent by herself for years. Maybe I can be a tent person, but should I be concerned over bears and rapists?

This is the best thing I've read ALL DAY.
My only piece of advice would be don't skimp on a bindle. A good quality bindle pays for itself.
I... what? Why? Why would anyone ever want to become homeless? You don't have a point to prove to anyone, including yourself, so... why? Unless your head isn't screwed on right or something?

@egg said: Homeless people get RAPED?! Who the hell by? I hope becoming homeless isnt some hipster trend, I have noticed some more cleaned up homeless people about.
If I become homeless and find a dog, is there a risk of the dog having babies? I don't want to be the friend of a dog that pregs a bitch, I think that would get me depressed, plus the dog might still follow me around afterwards even though I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
the only way "being homeless" would work out to be a good thing is if you have all the survival skills to live out in the middle of fuck all no where. And if that's the kind of thing you're into, than maybe that's the right thing to do for you, who knows. I would say it would probably be a better idea to try to save up as much money as you can over the next 5 years or so and then just move out somewhere that's super cheap to live.
