nwtnsqrd Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I would put my last money into a gym membership so I can still shower and have a warm place. Find a place with Wifi so I can still program/publish code and interact on LinkedIn to try and get a job. Link to post Share on other sites
Daydreaming_again Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I’m reading a non-fic book called The Salt Path, which I totally recommend - the author and her husband were made homeless suddenly, and they decided to walk a coastal trail and wild camp with little to no income, and it sounds really tough. I definitely couldn’t live like that for long, especially with U.K. weather! Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Alien Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Why would I need cousins specifically in this scenario? Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Jade Cross Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Probably off myself as there really wouldn't be much of a point to struggle to get back on the treadmill of struggling to get by to keep struggling. Besides, no one's going to second guess the idea that a person who's suddenly lost everything would not have a moment of desperation that led to suicide. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you prostitute, steal, beg, become someones slave? I'd have to have no income for a long ass time to become homeless... so do my friggin best to find another job before that happens (or if I can't find one, do something on a self-employed basis) That scenario also only stipulates no cousins, so, you know, move in with other family? Certainly no prostitution or slavery. And I'd imagine shoplifting before begging, to run with your scenario. (But again, that's a very limited pool of options you pose there - so more realistically: "None of the above" :D) Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Social service for a place to live, then looking for a job. That would be an option for me. Link to post Share on other sites

I dont even wanna try and ask cause i know the response will be rejection. Worth a shot, I know two cases of people living at their job (both were warehouse workers).

wood_pots Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thankfully, I have an income as I am still in work and I work for a pharmaceuticals and oversee sales of products. I wrote on here earlier that I'd rent out my flat for spare income but with this situation we are in, I don't think this will really work as a lot of people in London have moved to their parents or family homes and very few people will be looking for a flat to rent. So my idea which I mentioned in January isn't gonna work! Just goes to show what a horrible situation we are all in, eh? I'm physically fit and so I'd look to get any job, be it in a supermarket or fruit-picking. That's what I would do now if I had no income! Link to post Share on other sites
