I thought it's plasma that pays good.

It's 30-40$ per donation here and you can only do it 2x a week max. That's what one of my brother's friends does. Dude looks like a heroin addict with the bruises and shit on his arms.

Hustler. Or pan handler.

Go to cage matches, use some kind of personality that makes people dislike you, & get beat up for money

I lived for 2 years in El Paso off plasma and food stamps... Keep your expenses down and it's actually very easy...

For example, I pay about $460 to live here including the cable. If I got a gf to move in, I could survive on $300/month in money and I would get food stamps for sure, plus my utilities would be paid. Plasma and odd jobs could easily cover the $300. Heck, I've seen 4+ people living in an apartment this size before.

I know people like that. They haven't had a job in ages but every Wednesday night they are at a bar for ladies night, take vacations, cruises, and have pimp ass clothes. I honestly think money just shows up to them from god knows where.

And speaking of unemployment and drinking...

Hell, I lived for about 4 years while traveling with virtually no income. I donated plasma, did odd projects here and there like buying cars with mechanical probs fixing, and selling when I needed a big boost. One time I went to a tax auction and bought about 30 tons of scrap steel that was on the property and scrapped it all which was a pretty good payday. It's not easy but it is very doable, I could manage to go out once or twice a week. Downside my diet was the same every week and consisted of canned fruit, lots of pasta and bread, and the occasional hamburger/tuna helper. If you cut down on all the BS it is amazing what you can get by on.

Exactly my point of view... If you really look at what you spend money on daily, you'll find lots and lots of waste.
