Never heard of mturk, def going to give it a try.
and government assistance. Ill look in to that too.
Yeah amazon mturk is easy to do, you don't even have to read the surveys, just skim them. (sometimes they pay surprisingly high. I had one from yale that paid me $10 for about 7 minutes of clicking, the average is $1 - $2)

And government assistance is a guarantee in the u.s. They will give you food and cash since you are homeless, possibly somewhere to live as well.

If you use this as motivation to work harder than ever you will get back to where you were quickly.

Peace bro, keep your head up and work.

No man is an island OP. I used to be just like you. I didn't want help from anyone. When I hit rock bottom, guess what? I had to eat humble pie and go to the people I shunned for years for help.

However, my situation was a little different, by the time i was willing to accept help my mother and grandmother had died and all money i got from their passing i used to help family members. As a matter of fact my scum bag brother still owes me 36,000 (out of 40).

"No man is an island" are some real words and you are still young enough to benefit from them.

As far as living in your car, i can give you one helpful bit of advice. If you go to any wall-mart that is open 24/7 they allow anyone who is sleeping in their car, RV, van or w/e to park and pretty much live in their parking lots.. They even offer security as most places. some cities try to ban it but even in banned cities you will still see people sleeping in the parking lot if you know where to look. Also, National parks usually cost from around $3.00 for a day pass and $8.00 to $12.00 for night passes. Most of them have hot showers and some even have wifi.

Now on to a brighter side. You sound like a really motivated person plus your young so you should still be full of positive energy. If you are looking for an opportunity to get in on , I have new bitcoin start up. We have been open for about 7 months, we have around 6,400 register users and growth is not slowing down. There are a few things i could use someone like you for. At the very least i can introduce you a little method that will put at least 50 to100$ day in your pocket immediately.

Send me a PM with your Skyp, aim or jabber and we can talk.

College? bro what the fuck are you talking about. Honestly.
I attended a High school not a college.


Can not, when I left high school I was 16.
By state I signed a contracted with the state, by state terms.
The contract said I am not able to go to any school, or any college in till im 19.


You mentioned you can't even go to college in that post.
 
OP, I agree with Asif. Now is NOT the time to try and start a marketing business. You need steady income, and you're not going to get it by doing IM right now.

Without a foundation, you'll feel too pressured to generate money from something in IM that may either not make as much as expected, or not generate the amount needed as fast as you need it to. You need a steady, trustworthy, reliable income first, then you can create and scale your IM business. If you don't, you're going to rush or screw up your initial idea exactly like I did when I didn't have a foundational income, and it's not pretty.

Get some money rolling in first, even if you're working at Burger King, and then once you're financially stable, start doing IM.
 
I didn't even read all the replies on here man, but I will say this: Steve Harvey lived in a car for years, Eric Thomas ate out of trash cans and slept in abandoned buildings, and there are countless stories. It's not your circumstances, it's your mindset. Keep pushing. Don't give up. You only lose once you've decided you've lost.

I also hit a time where I lost my apartment, my vehicle stopped working, I had hella family problems, hella financial problems, lost my job I was putting myself through school with, got into $16,000 student debt (still am, actually) and I've never felt more alone in my life. Crying like a little bitch in corners and shit. Looking back at it, it's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. You've got to know what lows feel like sometimes. It'll make you stronger in the long run.
 
I kind of have to say that @zsimpson22 is right. A lot of people fall down or eventually knows what being at the bottom feels like. Because at the end, it does make you stronger. Even celebrities experience the same thing. You have to face your problems and knock every single door that's in your way down.
 
Always remember, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. This too shall pass. Just do everything to get out of the situation. Seek help from people you know so that they can give you an advise on what to do with your current situation now. I know you will be okay and you will be back on your feet again.
 
Lol they even Banned me permanently off school property.
But while everyone was working towards a diploma, and learning the same experience and the same educational system we had for years.

I decided to drop out, because I wanted to go out and learn business on my own.
Connect, study, and grow.

I was expanding my knowledge.
When I dropped out I bought myself Time.
I no longer had to worry about extra shit, I was left with a lot of time on my hands.
I was able to study and work on projects on my own, at my own time.

and last but not least I was formless, and flexible.
Like water.

I was able to balance things, got a job, worked on my own business, and repeat.
I was able to change things and move things around.
My mind works differently. I work against time.

I want to become financial stable, not because of the numbers.
but because of the Time, freedom, and choices.

Going back to school? Are you kidding me? Learning about history or math isn't going to pay the bills (unless it's marketing specific math). You're better off learning what you actually need on the internet.

right lol.

If I was to go back to school.
I'd go to a college.

That state can do anything.
When you brought a Weapon to a school, and had drugs on you.
And were facing 6 years in jail.

You are looked at as a criminal.
Everywhere you go.

Regardless of how much I said I changed.
At 15 I brought a weapon to school, I had drugs on me.
Im not talking about a small amount im talking about a Fucking backpack load of drugs.

I was making very stupid decisions, I don't like to talk about my past life.
But Since yall want to assume shit.

This will clear it all up.

You guys think high school and college is all about education. Yes, of course that is the main fucking point, to get educated, but education doesn't just mean learning history and maths. It means much more than that. It means creating connections, relationships, making friends, sharing things with others, experiencing all sorts of feelings for the first time, etc... You will miss all of that so you can work as a dishwasher and spam FB with a few accounts at the same time?

In my first comment, when I said call your mum, it wasn't a joke, I actually meant it. I define someone homeless as a person who has lost everything AND doesn't have any family to fall to in case of dire need. You have your mum, but you're too proud to call her. In fact, that's called stupidity, not being proud. Call your mum!! She will forgive you for anything... When you have a roof and some food on the table, it will become way easier to work online.

Also, I looked up the law as well because you made me curious and like others said above, there is no law that currently prevents people from getting back to high school, but since you brought guns to high school (why the fuck would you do that btw?!) and a shit ton of drugs (hope it wasn't any hard drugs), then maybe there are exceptions I don't know. Still, get back whenever you can and finish your education. You don't have to learn maths if you don't want to, but it will be worth it and you will realize that a few years later when you grow up.
 
@GORKA, wow... where do I start?

Well, first of all, I would like to point out that by dropping out of school, walking away from your parents and other support system, you didn't learn some basic premises that most of us are taught. They include not to put all of your eggs in one basket, not to bet more than you can lose and to save for a rainy day. These are not just plithy comments - these are tried and true rules to live by. Just 3 of many.

That being said, you are where you are. You dropped out of high school (seems to be that may not have been your decision based on what you posted earlier) then you quit your job because you were going to make it in IM. I'm sure by now you are realizing that was a poor decision. If you are thinking you are going to turn this around by living out of your car and doing IM, I am sorry, but you are still delusional. Yes, there were the few that were homeless and made their great break that made them rich, but they are few and far between. You have about as much of a chance to get struck by lightning then by working your way out of this via IM.

My advice is simple - go back home if you can. If you can't, get a job (or even once you get back home, get a job). You need to make some money to be able to pay expenses - food, clothing, GAS for that car etc. None of that comes free. Yes, you can get assistance but in 6 months when it starts getting cold outside, those homeless shelters fill up fast. Get a plan and put it in action now. Get yourself some regular income and THEN work IM part time when you can.

You have learned a valuable lesson and I actually have to thank you. I showed your story to my 14 yr old son - he thinks 'all that and a bag of chips'. As I told him, don't let his mind write checks that his butt can't cash. Yea, another old cliche... but you know something? They work. He's a smart young man - and learning 'tech' pretty quickly. As I told him last night, you think you know alot. You won't know how little you really know until you get older and look back. Even at 17, you have learned so little. You've got many more years ahead to not only learn but to gain wisdom from your experiences. Your current situation will be one of them.

In the meantime, get yourself a stable income, a low cost place to live (with your parents would be best if that's at all possible) and work IM when you can. Get through the day but plan for how you're going to get out of this hole that you've dug.

In either case, good luck - I hope you listen to some of the wisdom posted in here from others that have been in your situation, or close enough...
OS
PS. People have suggested delivering pizza. That is not likely to happen. I seriously doubt that most restaurants are going to trust someone that doesn't have a physical address with a job that includes taking payments for their food. It's not as easy as you would think to get that job. Start looking at McDonalds, Burger King, Walmart hires MANY people - greeters, stock people etc.
