Any of you ever gone homeless before?

[ShipSekki]

 I was once homeless for 6 months. It was by choice. I didn't go broke or have anything terrible happen to me, I just chose to be homeless to see what the life was like, to have adventure, and to shake things up from the boring and dull life I was living.

 It goes down as the most interesting, exciting, fun and memorable time in my life. I plan on working for a couple more years, then i'm gonna return to that lifestyle.

 Any of you ever done it before?

Interesting.  I have heard this from people that just said "fucking let it all go" they said the same as you its getting away from constraints of society that gives you the pleasure. Now my problem would be what would I eat, where would I sleep?

for several days

Lived out of my car for two months while I had to get back on my feet. Was rough. I wouldn't do it again, but it was a good experience overall I would say.

 At first I had a van and was sleeping in that.

 After a few months I ditched the van and just carried a tent. I was spending most of my time traveling in the forests of northern Cali, Washington and Oregon, so it was just kind of like a camping trip everyday. I tried to avoid the cities, but I did stay in Portland and San Francisco for a while.

 Eating is no problem. If you are an intellingent homeless person you can find jobs to work or otherwise figure out ways to get food and money. I did some odd jobs and made crafts and sold them and stuff like that.

[benchmstr]

 I don't know about that.

 Lately i've been living in the big city, working a professional job, in the rat race, and I feel like an asshole.

 Two more years of money making and I can get away from this BS again and be free.

 Wait, that's basically what Christianity is. A cult that grew way, way, way too big.

I crashed for free in a trailer park for a year or so during college.  Was a good move, looking back.  Nothing was more fun than walking around with a crew of armed old vets kicking out illegals and homeless riffraff who made there way into our park.

Yep understood I would like to do this but to let all go is a challenging experience the unknown is thing most of us are afraid of.

 I'm talking about being truely homeless.

 For me, I was living in a van for 3 months. I'd drive to different spots, park the van and sleep in it. Usually stay in each town for 3-6 days then drive on the the next town. I slowly made my way from San Francisco to Seattle like that.

 I sold the van in Seattle because the transmission was fucked up. And then I was just 100% homeless. Walking around with the big backpack, hitchhiking sometimes, hooking up with crazy hippies and crust punks and getting rides with them, etc.

 For a while I was living in the deep forests of Oregon and was basically living like a tribesman. It was just awesome. I didn't miss any of the material comforts I left behind.

 I told my family that I moved to Portland Or, and got a job out there. Because if I told them I was wandering around homeless they might not appreciate it to much.

 I miss it. After getting back into the rat race again. I miss it a lot.

 Start off small. Try doing it for just one weekend or maybe 4 or 5 days. Load up your backpack just like you would if you were homeless, and do everything just like you would if you were homeless. Just get a taste of it and see how it feels.

 That's what I did, and I liked it, so I went bigger.

Today there was a homeless chick with a sign walk down the street. My mom ask me if I had any money. I said all I have is a 20. She snatch it and give it To the homeless chick.

 A 20?

 Being homeless in the USA is so easy. People will give you more money than a job will pay.
