Today, I was doing a study on homeless people and how they manage to stay alive on the streets. Turns out the one I was studying today was given more money than I make in a week. FML

suprisingly, you can make a lot of money begging in america. actually. the average hobo makes more money per hour begging than someone would make working a minimum wage job.

If they spent it wisely they'd be well off. A lot of them are schizophrenic so can't be entirely blamed, but it's still ridiculous. But this is Australia, not america scotticus.

Wow, what average person makes 30,000 dollars in three months? I can just picture a homeless person downtown leading a double life as a business executive, lol!

That's what Homer Simpson did.

that's a great point in your study! that homeless people make the same amount as a regular person, but must have bad spending habits!

YDI for being jealous of a homeless man; you'd seriously rather trade places?

Location, location, location. BTW, a prostitute probably makes more than you as well. I am still not sure I would be envious of her or the homeless...

Yeah, in certain places they make a lot. Also they don't pay taxes on it.

I wonder what is a bigger drag on society: homeless, panhandling parasites or the people who study them?

Third option: you. I'll consider the latter more relative.

The pople who complain about either of them...

homeless people in Amsterdam make up to $300 a day begging

In the USA, you don't have to beg. Just hold up a clever sign and people will give you a dollar.
