Recently I've been struggling with finding places to live or even squat. I've been sleeping on the benches of Tompkins Square Park (LES manhattan) and I'd really like to know how I can find places in NYC to squat or where I can find experienced people here who know about this stuff. Also im...

Where to begin? I'm an immature, but kind person. I have difficulty owning up to my mistakes, and I don't deal with stress as well as others. I've never been able to hold a job for more than 3 months, and my anxiety attacks make me feel like I just got done running 3 miles. I'm hoping that I...

If someone defaults on their student loan debt but they used the student loans to purchase land to live off, is anyone able to come in and take your land from you because of the debt? Are there certain ways to go about this to prevent your land being taken from you?

Going to be in Ponta Delgada, Porto and Lisbon, then headed to southern Spain, Morocco. I plan on busking and finding under the table work, but if all else fails, what’s the attitude toward spanging and flying a sign? Consequences? How much fun are the police? Thanks!

Back in January of 2017, I got a $1,000 from a car accident. Since I was bored I decided to hit Texas for the sheer joy of it. Life was short and I wanted to have found memories before I die. Thus I began my week and a half trip with a grand in my pocket. No civilization works for free. People...

I have, eh, maybe $500. And I have a typewriter with which I can write poems in the street for money (in English). Should I get more if I intend to bike or hitch around indefinitely in Europe?

This guy from Toronto to this random library in Argentina. Or I guess it looks likes it was random. He walked more than 6000 miles with no money or ID. No passport or anything that would identify him. He was found in a jungle in Brazil with no shoes. I read in another article that when he was...

So I am at home trying to make some money so I can travel hopefully overseas. My mother says I should try going to a place like Asheville and living there for a little so I can get used to living on my own and being independent. I eventually want to travel to Russia for about a month or two and...

Do you use money? Do you not work yet are willing to accept monetary gifts from those who do? Is money evil? Can you do good with money? Can you live without it? How much money do you have in your pocket right now? Did you or will you likely buy something today? Do you feel shameful when...

I'm not sure if this is actually a resource, so Matt or anyone, feel free to move it or what have you. If you're like me, you have little money, as it is, so you're leery of donating, not sure where the money will actually go. So, rather than worry about money, I have an app on my phone...

That we need money to live like it or not is a self-evident truism. Right? Not anymore. Drawing on almost three years of experience as The Moneyless Man, ex-businessman Mark Boyle not only demystifies money and the system that binds us to it, he also explains how liberating, easy and enjoyable...

After awhile on the road, you're sure to notice people who don't get their money, food, gas, drugs or clothes like you do. Some of these ways may go against what you know to be right as you see it. I was wondering: What do you do/others do that is unethical? Do you feel guilty about how you...

I read around the web - how long distant travelers with empty or near empty pockets gradually make their way around the globe. This fills me with a very healthy envy but sparks my travel button at full throttle. my curiosity though has always been how the hell do they manage to scrape together...

So I was wondering, I have this idea for a YouTube show involving alternative travel for quite a few years now, but right now I'm trying to figure out all the places I could go that would be a part of the show. So my question for you is, let's say money is no object. You can travel anywhere you...

Several times in my life I realized that what I really needed was to leave home and start traveling around the country without money or a car. Its obvious that I'm not the only one with this drive but I had to ask you guys about a thing or two. I picked a date (April 8th) and a ultimate...

Does anyone have a safer way to carry cash on the road other than a money belt?

so recently i was in a jam after getting robbed by a couple of mexicans... and i pretty much had to. but now i'm thinking of trying it more often as sort of a supplementary income source when travelling? thoughts?

well this will be myfirst post though I have been a member for some time. I am currently in mex. I flew to cancun and then hitched to tulum(a.k.a.paradise) there I met a local senorita. she was nice and we hung out for a couple of days. then I went to belize(best rum on earth) to do some work...

Apart from what you make on the road, how much money do you usually begin your travels with? I've known kids who start their trips with absolutely nada, and kids who spange up a hefty $200 before heading to the yard. Personally, I like having at least a good $50 of "holy shit, this was a bad...

i stick with the belief that if two or more people go out panhandling or holding a sign no matter who gets handed the money it gets divided evenly when your finished, now i have met the kids that will see you panhandling and sit down next to you assuming that what money you have already made and...

how easy is this to do? when i go to europe this will be my main income with not much safety money. how much do you make an hour on average? can you play most places in cities?

Let me preface this with, let's please not argue about for or against the bill. It's here and now we all get to deal with it. Search google for "Major rail expansion on track with stimulus plan" I can't post links, so this is the way you get it.
