Guest Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've made just enough money for rent. My parents being the kind souls bought my PC from me and then gave it back (D'awww). I don't think there's any chance in hell I'll be able to afford traveling home for Christmas. There is no food in my cupboards.So poll it up eclipse. Do I want to starve until the 6th January when I get paid (maybe it's possible to live without food that long…) or do I want to eat and lose my home on 1st January?

SawQuart Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Aren't there food banks/soup kitchens near you?I actually saw an article about this not too long ago. Apparently you can go longer without eating if you're preoccupied with a video game because it keeps your mind away. So pull up a good video game and get addicted for the next weeks… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNESthebest Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just don't move around a lot and you should be able to make it a bit longer.Although I agree, there should be a soup kitchen somewhere near you, unless you live on a farm or something.

azkanan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Even if you live in the farmlands, farmers are generally kind (and rich) souls who would give you some spare anything.Why can't your girlfriend help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I would stay in the house. Being homeless your screwed. Goto a soup kitchen or just go around asking for 25 cents to use a pay phone. That way you dont look like some guy begging for change and once you get like 5 bucks just buy some rice. That should last you like a week. Not very nutritious but will get the job done.

Draken Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 check your local renter protection laws, normally the give you x amount of days after you stop paying your bill for X months before they will kick you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzo Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm pretty sure you can miss a payment on your rent, just tell your landlord you'll pay them later.Like Draken said, check your rights, your landlord shouldn't be able to kick you out like that.

Gwen Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 spikey get a part time job to offset some bills, or go live with your GF for a while.Sucky advice, but apply for a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azkanan Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Actually, I've met a ton of beggars in my time, and If people ask me for money with an excuse, I by default recognize them as a drug addict. However, those with a board asking for food, I go out of my way to feed the poor soul.That's a pretty good idea. It's insta-death to your dignity, but you'll be well fed.

Guest Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Voting locked, i will hold fast and drink lots of water. Perhaps i will survive, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah, if you can get five bucks or so then go and get some rice. It's very cheap and will last you a while. Throw it in some boiling water with a dash of salt and it'll turn into some decent calories.It's funny that you're trying to get as many calories as possible when many people are trying to have as little calories as possible. If that doesn't show the economic disparity, nothing can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
