Sell some plasma, spend the money on Fent and kill myself.
I’d find a social worker to lean on for help and a shelter for temporary housing. It’s a long road, but that’s where I would start my journey. You’d have to baby step it and hope a couple things come together simultaneously.
It’s sad how easy it is to tell who’s from the US and EU here.
Basically “you’re fucked, be a criminal or die” versus, “go to the Social Services and tell them you’re homeless”
I’m 57 years old with bad knees. I won’t make it. First thing I do is go somewhere quiet and kill myself.
Overdose and die.
I would go the Social Services office and explain my situation. Provided I could prove my identity I would walk out with a couple hundred dollars cash, an address for decent temporary accommodations, and an appointment with a case worker to find a more permanent solution for me.
That’s the security of the Nordic welfare state.
So many plots for series only make sense in the US. Your answer in comparison to many others here show why.
It’s mostly just sad. I don’t mean it in a condescending way. Reading that people would likely just kill themselves, turn to prostitution, do crime, etc.
“That’s communism!”

Bluntly, I find my current life more than difficult enough with 4/5 of that (I discount the CC and car as not strictly necessary), so I’d start planning my suicide. That’s obviously not meant as advice, it’s what I would do.
If you live in a blue state, then you get in touch with the housing first types who will get you into a small home and off the street. Then you rebuild your life.
If you live in a red state, you hitchhike to a blue state and do the first step.
If I were homeless I’d just buy a house, duh
Go back to my family and friends.
Re-read the title.
Re-read the kobayashi maru test.

Selling, or consuming?

Very important post. We need solutions, not judgements or moralistic catchphrases that are impossible (bootstraps)
The dirty hippie should get a job.
Don’t be daft. Hippies are smelly. Commies are dirty. Did you not read your Capitalism For Dummies handbook?
First up, go to one of the available help centers and register for welfare. This will give me a monthly income that’s enough to cover most of my daily needs. Housing will be more complicated. The state would cover my rent but I’d first need to find a suitable flat in the first place. If I’m lucky, there is social housing available. If not, I’d have to sleep on the street or in shelters for a while. No idea how I’d handle that. Once I have a roof over my head, I can start looking for a job.
