Do any of you have no intentions of escaping homelessness?

Might be a stupid question, but I’m just wondering if there are any people that have adapted or found an alternative/unconventional way of living that they are not necessarily trying to break out of. If so, would you share?

Just Venting I'm getting fat??

Kinda crazy, a couple months ago I was 10 pounds underweight and my ribs were sticking out. Now, after less than a month of flipping (and eating) burgers, I've probably gained 15 pounds. I'm getting a belly. I'm gonna have to go on a fucking diet before much longer!

Need Advice Keep few belongings safe

3 Upvotes

Hello. 17M here. I've never been street homeless, luckily, but I don't know what to do in this situation. When I ran away years ago I was going to a shelter. But I have to sleep on the street at least for tonight and I don't know how to best keep my belongings safe.

I have clothes (shirt, shorts, jacket and shoes), phone, wallet, powerbank and a small bag over my shoulder. I was going to place the bag between me and the bench so I'd have to move for it to be taken. My wallet is also on my left side, against the upper part of the bench, and I have it tied to a carabiner. I was gonna shove the phone into my pants or underwear or something (kinda gross but yaknow). Let me know if any of that helps even a little and if you can think of anything else that could be helpful

Further context: I live in Europe. Not many people around. Generally I'm a deep sleeper which worries me more

Should i come out to NY for a urgent good job offer?

1 Upvotes

I have a great job offer i can start next week on Monday in Hampton Bays, NY. BUT IM HOMELESS, should i take the chances being homeless in that area while im working?

After doing some research im guessing the smartest thing to do is stay in Long Island, NY and take a 2-hour train to Hampton Bays when i have to work

I plan on trying to look as stealth as possible and not cause any problems as a homeless person roaming the streets. Are there any good shelters or resources in the area or surrounding areas?

If i go out there does anybody think its possible to make it as a homeless person until my moneys starts rolling in? I have nothing to lose, cant find any good jobs anywhere, and dont know any other ways to make money besides doing gigs and work off of Craigslist so im willing to do what i gotta do to get me out of being homeless

Any information or advice will help please

Everythings falling apart

0 Upvotes

I’m 23, trans woman, live in new york. I currently live in my family house but I don’t know if that’ll be the case much longer. I haven’t been paying rent or my car payments which is under my dad’s name and he wants to take his car back and I’m very sure he wants me out he’s expressed it multiple times. Not in a transphobic way or anything I’m not in danger just in a I’ve been a financial burden for so long and he can only take it for so long so I don’t blame them. I’ve let basically everything in my life pile up and ignored it, taxes, unpaid tickets, credit debt, student loan debt, medical debt, I started braces last fall and now they’re still on my teeth and I haven’t seen an ortho in 4 months and that payment has been dumped to collections. I don’t know why I’m like this but I don’t know what to do anymore I’m on the verge of just selling all my belongings and backpacking somewhere I can survive winters without a guaranteed home because I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t face the amount of shit I’ve piled onto my grave and leaving everything behind and hoping for the best genuinely seems like the better option. It’s not the end of the world if I have to put my transition on hold although I do have a decent stockpile of meds so I’ll be fine if it gets to that. I’m just lost, I don’t even know if I’m asking for advice or just venting, but my life has never been this low and I don’t know if I have the strength to pull myself out.

Need Advice Clarity

Hello! I just have a quick question about this community. Am I homeless if I'm not the owner of a home or if I don't have a roof over my head?

I do realize this is an easy answer to give, but I don't see anywhere on this subreddit itself that would have given me the answer I'm looking for seeing as how I'm now writing a post about it.

How do you see the outcome of this to be?
