Ask me about bumming it
 

Disclaimer: after 6+ months of bumming it I have resigned myself to employment for at least a short while.

Prolegomena: doing things you don't want to do sucks. Working is a huge beat for 99.9% of people in the world. Unless you are a secret agent or an astronaut, your job sucks. You may have resigned yourself to the fact that it is what it is, you may not mind working, but let's face the cold, hard economic reality: if work didn't suck, they wouldn't have to pay you to do it. I'm pretty lazy. My ultimate goal if I had infinite $$ would be to laze around, travel, eat food and chill all the time. I evaluate potential jobs with a sort of balance system:

A job is either rewarding (pays well or whatever else you consider compensation for working... but basically pays well) or is easy. As pay increases, my tolerance for workload increases. As pay decreases, I expect to do less. Extrapolate this and you will realize that being broke but having absolutely zero responsibilities fits into this system. Ask me how to do it.

Ask me about having no money and getting by nicely anyway, or how to live busto, etc. I read threads like "zomg I'm down to my last $2k online!" and "zomg I'm getting evicted!" and sense that BBV4L could use some sagely advice on how to get by with nothing but what you already own.

the fact that you use the word prolegomena suggests you are overeducated, like me

how much would your monthly nut be in a true bum scenario?

Depends on whether or not you're a smoker (I am), but I think $100/month is pretty easily doable, but this presumes finding a place to stay for free of course.

edit: and yeah I'm overeducated. Majoring in philosophy was a bad idea. It's financially useless, plus you end up with this "I don't give a [censored] I'm not gonna live forever anyway" attitude that, while allowing you to enjoy your life immensely, also prohibits you from accomplishing anything long term.

I never ate peanut butter, but tbh even when I have plenty of $ I never really cook. I eat about the same quality of food when I'm robusto as when I'm life busto. Fast food, dollar menu, ramen, EZ mac, etc. The only difference is I go out to eat more when I have money, but it's not a huge deal to me.

how do you get any money at all?
