What are the benefits to pretend you are poor ?

I think if people think you are poor they have more symphatic feelings to you.

Also you keep away the leeches who hunts your money like women.

Never claim to be poor. Never claim to be rich.

Always keep them guessing and they will never judge you by how much money you have.

Hi /jew/, first time posting.

I'm about to hit up college again after a leave of abscence (I had no idea what I was going to do nor how I was going to pay for it). Now, I'm about 2 years behind where I should have been.

I'm not expecting to magically jump back up, but I've got a few AP credits from high school and I'm planning on going down and doing some CLEP... on everything I can possibly test out of. I built a list of General Education/Degree requirements for an Actuary, and came up of a list of what the school will accept. It says nothing about them having a cap on the amount of credits you can take, but they don't cover all the tests I could probably take to help myself out.

Has anyone ever done CLEP testing? Results, experiences, etc... How hard was it? Hook a nigga up with some free guide and study materials?

I figure this fits here because:
A) I'm trying to get out of spending hundreds on college classes
B) I'm asking for some free resources

If it doesn't belong, feel free to delete.
A) I

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

I've been an English professor and I've been a landscaper, and I would not say that landscaper is worse! Being active is great, also, following the rhythm of day and night (not going to bed at 3AM), and feeling the seasons pass, sleeping soundly coz you got exercise. . . . I'd get up at 5, be doing some labor by 7 AM, get home at different times, take a nap, be fresh for the evening. . . . Sitting on your ass (literally on your buttocks) for half of your life is itself a degraded quality of life.

File 136720085758.jpg - (14.88KB , 220x146 , Log Cabin.jpg )

My mom, uncle, aunt, and other uncle, all own a house up in northern Wisconsin,USA. It is rarely visited, and when it is most of the time whoever's going there sends an email to "reserve" it.

It was built by my grandpa (dead) like 60 years ago so it's pretty old.

It has running water, electricity, and appliances (refrigerator, stove, over, washer, dryer, television). It's very isolated, middle of a forest area surrounded by Indian reservations (ours is not on a reservation).

I need advice on how to squat there, and what I can do about the bills.

What will I need?

If I were to get caught, they would have me arrested or fine me they would just kick me out.

PS It's on a lake and have a small boat, so I could fish.

Oh yes I forgot. Plant your shit away from the cabin, because the bear will find it, and when they do, you don't want them tearing the building you're in apart to get at it. It's scary as fuck, cause even though they're harmless, well, they're a big crazy bear, and if you're in their way when they're hungry, they'll swat you aside like you're a mosquito. Also, keep any food inside in sealed containers and dump any and all food refuse across water from your place. The breeze over open water tends to dissipate e scent and draw them off. Don't sweat the wolves. All the Fibs are excited because Rees so many there's a season on em, but it's bullshit. The only people shooting any are farmers with wide open fields and sheep or goats. You'll never see them. They're invisible, cause they prefer it that way.

>>Thoreau was a skilled writer, and walden is a fine work.

That's true but the OP wasn't asking for advice concerning literature.

Walden is not a good guide for "living simply in the woods" because Thoreau made it all up. There are plenty of which can provide the OP with practical advice from people who have actually done what they're writing about.

The one thing I haven't seen discussed is Transportation!

For those of us who have a job or are looking, transportation is very important!

It is also important that it is cheap and reliable, not often two things that go well together!

Bikes are OK but if you live in an area where it's a minimum if 10 miles to any place that has work it isn't much help!

Plus most cheap cars don't get great gas mileage (Mine costs almost 120-200 a month in gas) AND you car is often a dead giveaway that you are a poor person!

What suggestions do allz you poor people have regarding cheap and reliable transportation?

Look into electric bicycle conversions. They're only a few hundred -and- have the range needed to get you about 30 miles round trip. Instead of showing you're poor, your co-workers are fascinated. They can solar-charge too, depending.

car-pool to work. rid a bike to a place where your carpool will pick you up. if you have a friend who likes to cruise around on the weekends suggest you be a wingman for a bit. I suppose subway and bus were not a possibility. Zip car for when you occasionally need wheels of your own. House sitting sometimes includes reasonable use of the car. you can look smooth or you can be cheep but to look smooth while you are on the cheep is tricky. You can adopt the response that you are not a materialist.

You can read some Chiltons manuals from the library and do your own minor repairs. If you buy parts at scrap yards you can save a bundle. You may have to go extract the used part yourself though.
Tell people the "its the journey not the destination" quote if for aimless people and you have higher goals.

help out as many people as you can in favors; especially when it is something they can not do for themselves. karma will come in other strange ways. make friends, talk with people. they can give you leads on things you never would have expected. avoid bad habits, avoid excessive luxury items except when they are needed for work image. e.g. ties at thrift shops are cheap. share resources, get a roommate. draw up a budget. track where money goes and money comes. even just the act of keeping track of every penny will force you to consider the value of your actions.

if these guys are in your area you can get decent food for a good price.

dont neglect good nutrition, it will mess with your head, attitude, and energy. eat a healthy diet. I cut sodas and saved a bundle, and it was better for my teeth according to my dentist.

it is cheaper to get caffene tablets than to spend $$$ on coffee. You may even save time in prep, and cleaning up and have a free hand to use for other activities...

without specifics, us anons can only give general advice...

i dont have $ but what i have i give to you.

Get whatever prepaid plan you want, then don't ever call your parents. Tell them you can't afford a cellphone, and if they ever want to speak to you again, they will have to pay for it.

I hate that google tracks everything everyone does but if you can get it google voice had phone numbers, free like g-mail. you can forward any line that calls your number to any other phone, or have it go to voice mail or you can select which numbers go to which places you want. It is highly customizable, I cant tell everything here. Have everything go to vm then check on net or at work or at friends or at any place you have access. Use the pay per go for outgoing calls you cant make at work or elsewhere. Get yo ass on your feet, get a job that requires you to have a cell. That responsibility helps you bootstrap to where you will not have to resort to survival tactics.
Universities sometimes have loose security in computer labs, internet cafes are sometimes tricky. There are some linux distros which will run an entire operating system from a cd rom and not install on the host computer. You can use that for net access if they have policy that make you not have access/or monitored access at work. Make some friends & offer to swap some thing like help for net access before askin for it. Karma works. "Just to help out", that way the friend will not feel you are just moochin' The grass grows quick in Florida, offer to cut the lawn, wash the car, put out the cat, feed the aligators, whatever.

Hope it turns out well.

i tink voice.google.com will get you there.
