Your talking about just surviving and that doesn't have much to do with this forum.
I lived on the streets as a teenager. At 17 went into the military. As much as I despise the military I needed something to get off the streets at the time. I didn't even have a copy of my birth certificate or a social security number. So kinda hard to get a job, the recruiter was able to get ahold of all that stuff for me since I was just a stupid kid. Back before internet.

But yeah I didn't have shit and slept in the top of an abandoned barn and made a make shift stove to stay warm in winter. Survived off of school lunches. I would take any ones leftovers. Washed my clothes in the gym and left them in lockers to dry.
I know it's hard to believe but I sometimes miss that time in my life.

I sure didn't worry about whether my prada or ferragamo drivers went better with the jaguar or the porsche.
