I started with a criminal record for petty narcotics pos and a 'computer tresspassing' record guaranteeing me unemployment almost everywhere except manual labor. I was also living in a SRO in the worst area you can ever imagine, had no money, huge debt and couldn't even finish university so washed out in the second year due to poverty.


STEP 1 - GET A FUCKING JOB

Any job will do. Some shitty manual labor position is great because then you also get some activity in so you aren't a fat bastard.

Easy jobs to get are landscaping (usually pays under the table cash), construction clean up, warehouse, or whatever you can find on your local Craigslist 'gigs' section. Alternatively there's the dreaded nightshift tech support. Look around for these on CL, or move to somewhere in your country where the jobs are. In Canada this means terribad mining and oilfiend work but it pays like $40/hr and there's nothing else to do up there, perfect for studying.

For me, I got a job at the post office and delivered mail, which meant I got off early and had lot's of time for school. Also consider institutions that will pay you to learn a trade, such as telephone companies and whatever else.

STEP 2 - START SAVING MONEY

Congratulations you poor bastards have earned your own board. Don't fuck it up. Any relevant rules will be created/added to this post when the time comes, but for the meantime try to keep it SFW.

Go Wild

Jesus Christ I'm useless; I should have specified that this board is for poor niggers to share money saving tips/vouchers and whatever.

Let's talk about ways to make cash online, it can really help out and once you get efficient with it and have a good group then you're golden.

I won't lie, I'd like to find a person or two from this board to be in a new group. You wouldn't believe how fast and simple things get when you get everyone working together well and can make the money on nearly autopilot, depending on what method you are using. Also tips and resources are always good.

I went dumpster diving today. so i thought id drop a few hints for you guys

1)Invest in a headlamp, you want both hands when digging through trash
2)sometimes your gonna have to get in the dumpster to look for stuff
3)Apartment complexes, post garage sale houses, closing businesses, goodwills and thrift stores are great places to look. sometimes check out stores you like. Gamestop is supposed to destroy what it throws out, but some dont listen to that
4)Don't make a fucking mess. Leave it cleaner than you left it. If you leave shit strewn about, you can guarantee it'll be locked when you return
5)check your states/city's laws on diving. some places like California outright ban it because of recycling money or something
6)dont fuck with with locked dumpsters. just dont. its a crime.
7)If its some place with security(ie a shopping center, mall, etc) find a security officer and ask him/her if you can do it. More often then not, if your not suspicious, they'll be cool about it
8)dont look shady, wearing all black looks suspicious, wear jeans, boots, and a long sleeve shirt in normal colors. If you look respectable, odds are youll be granted persmission, or left alone.
9)If someone asks you to leave, fucking leave. For the most part you dont have to say anything. Dont give them your name. if they get your license, big deal. you can always say you werent driving your car that night if they report you.
10)when entering a dumpster, dont "dive". There may be broken glass or similar sharp jagged spikes at the bottom. enter with caution, slowly.

a guy I know makes all his money selling shit from diving. granted he is a handyman. Google your city + dumpster diving to see if theres any nice forums

Hello friends. I'm 18 years old and I'm getting kicked out of the house this summer.

I was just wondering if you guys had some tips on how should i stock up for this and what to do to prepare.

I live in Canada, I have about $3k saved up. I won't be finished highschool until middle of next year at best.

I was also thinking about joining the Canadian Forces.

So basically any Canadians here that know how to live cheaply or any sort of tricks I should know for living by myself?

Thanks guys.

* Looking to buy a radio antenna? Just cut the copper out of a old power cord.
* Buy pop from a gas station instead of a fast food joint. You get like twice the amount for half the price.
* Learn about cars so you never have to waste money on mechanics.
* A gun is cheaper than a home security system.

the el cheap-o house and ideas there of;
So here's my own plan for having a forever home. Straw bale house, stucco covered bales on 18high base of mudbrick. Sub-grade rock trench foundation and a cap of a thatched roof.
replace as many electric appliances with manual or passive thermal options;
coffee maker - coffee pot
electric lights - candles and oil lamps
A/C- earth tubes, heavy curtain in two layers (out is white, inner of colored), the inherent super insulation of straw bales and thatch.
heating - thermal mass or the old fashion ceramic stoves of europe.
can opener - manual
dryer - clothes line
washer - boiling pot
refridgerator - 1920s cool box (not an ice box)
toilet - saw dust alternative
water source - deep stock pond with bamboo lined sides to reduce evaporative factor.

the only electric appliances I might need are a computer, phone and freezer. I don't list a tv or radio because the internet has pretty much rendered those obsolete.

Poorfag here. Like most of you, I only have 20 USD. Are there any ways I can make this into something more?

Any of you guys have a hand in printing/publishing?.. Let's say that I want to print money bills(Which I don't BTW. I want to print "Entry Permission" Documents).

1. What is this so called "money paper"? Does it have a name or an specific fabrication? How to obtain it and whatnot.

2. What is the best printer to print the shoops with watermarks and holograms on it?

Pic is somehow related.
