I have a friend who saved $15,000 in 1 year selling cars and low quality marijuana (he made $1000/month from it).
He traveled to 50+ countries and slept outside everywhere except poor countries where it was cheap to get a bed.
When he returned to the US, he sold cars and was homeless. Literally he slept outside but still worked out and ate well. When he got a car, he still slept outside.
He recently just made $60,000 driving for Lyft/Uber in 6 months and saved $30,000 (assuming a lot went to taxes).
He then moved and slept in hus car for 1+ month while having 30k and perfect credit, and still driving. Now he's taken a month off to pursue creative and side projects.
If you don't have a family, then anything is possible.
- sillysaurus3 10y agoHow is it possible to make $60,000 driving for Lyft/Uber in 6 months? Can someone do a rundown on the numbers for this? Can you really earn $120k/yr driving?
- brixon 10y agoHe might have found a lot of new weed customers.
- beachstartup 10y agoi could believe it if he slept in his car and drove 18h/7d for 6 months. nobody would do that for more than a few months but i'm sure it's possible if you're really dedicated to raising some money in an unsustainable way.
- gostars 10y agoHe worked 80 hours a week. In SF, you can make up to $3000 in one week driving for Lyft.
- angrydev 10y agoI don't understand how you're glossing over the fact that your buddy was homeless for 1+ years or however long it was. Even if you don't have a family, people don't want to sleep outside.
- gostars 10y agoI'm not saying I would do it and I don't think he was homeless more than 2 or 3 months.
- overcast 10y agoIt takes someone special to live like a drug dealing homeless person. Most people are trying to avoid that lifestyle at all costs. Obviously if you have zero bills, saving money is easy. But be realistic.
- imjk 10y agoIs this more satire?
- zyngaro 10y agoWell that was depressing.
- gozur88 10y agoIf we're going to open the possibilities to criminal behavior, we should include even more lucrative activities like counterfeiting and loan sharking.
- gostars 10y agoYes because selling $50 worth of weed is equal to a federal crime like counterfeiting. You seem like someone who has little life experience.
- gozur88 10y agoProbably a lot more than you. How do you get from $1000/month to $50? Or did you just make the whole thing up? You can get 5 years in the federal pen for dealing trivial amounts of pot if you manage to piss off the government. My point was running a criminal enterprise isn't really an acceptable option for most people.
