Stole money and documents. Well, it happens. Now we are “not local”. What to do? There are many systems for survival in urban environments. True, most of the advice from there is suitable only for enemy intelligence team saboteurs. For the law-abiding citizen, there are not so many options. In addition, there is the logic of being, which roughly shows us the possible directions and consequences to which these directions lead. Consider from the beginning.

Do not panic - hack advice. But banal things, oddly enough, often the most faithful. Because life itself makes them trite. The set of situations embodied in the framework of human existence, although relatively large, is far from being limitless. That is why with a different frequency repeats.

Okay, do not panic. There is no money, a passport is also stolen - it is too late to panic. How to get to the house? We start from the simplest and most obvious. The logic of events suggests that you, as a minimum, have a house from where you came to this glorious city. So, there is someone who can supply you with money at first. Everything is simple here - go to the police station and write that the passport was stolen from you. From there, they call to your homeland and find out who you are. Then everything is not difficult. The method was tested by my acquaintance (Doctor of Science, by the way) of whom, after the symposium in Moscow, some Hanurikas were robbed. The professor slept quietly on a bench in the subway, (at the symposium he went over a little) and woke up already without money and documents. Naturally, the police first did not believe that the drunk man on the platform was a professor. However, home clanged. In general, happy end. The main thing is not to swing in front of the cops, (and to anyone else) are right, but to talk like friends. After all, we are all humans, right? Smile to someone who sits in a pond - the universal rule of a crumb - a cartoon from a cartoon works in adult life.

Option two. You have a house, and there is no one to borrow money from there. Because you are here, and your apartment far away is closed. And no one knows you there - you recently moved there. In general, we must somehow return from a foreign land. What to pay attention to first? On food - most readers will say. And make a mistake. Humanity is generally more than you need tied to food. Unreasonable, let's say, tied. Anyone, even an unprepared person, can freely live without food for a couple of days. Especially in a stressful situation, when there is not really want. The author of these lines somehow calmly endured a dry hunger strike in a foreign city for two days. Therefore, you should know - you have at least two days left. Spend this time on developing a strategy, not on a trivial search for a grub. Because, starting to search for food, you will get into some ordinary carousel, which distracts both time and effort from solving the main task.

The main task is to get home. Therefore, as soon as you realize that “chef, mustache is gone” - do not drag out time. Extend in the direction of the house, after replenishing the water supply. You can get home by hitchhiking. The option is not the worst. It’s not clear why to sit in a foreign city, where everything was taken away from you, it’s better to slowly but surely move to the house. Pedestrians are brought up not only very willingly, but also not to say that rarely. You can get on the trains. One of my friends went according to the following scheme: he approached the brigade of a diesel locomotive, truthfully told his story and asked for a ride as far as possible. Almost always worked. The “shoulder” of the locomotive brigade is about 300 kilometers. So in two or three steps you can overcome the whole way. The main thing - the maximum neatness in clothes. It is clear that no one is expecting a tail coat with a butterfly from you, but no one will bring up an obvious homeless person

The option of traveling along the river is also possible if your paths coincide with the river. Rechniki people are responsive. Of course, nowadays, terrorism and other joys are being brought up less and less, but it’s worth trying.

Option number three. You have nowhere to return. Then it is better to immediately look for a job that will help hold out the first time. And maybe the second. The most adequate option is a loader to the store if you do not have with you, say, a doctor’s diploma. Movers and doctors are usually the most popular profession. Especially if they are not drinkers. In general, the logic is simple: if you want to live in a society, return to society. If a return to society is delayed and you need to perekantovatsya somewhere for a couple of days, life sets a number of tasks for you.

If the winter option - in the first place, of course, leaves the heat. In general, there are very few options here, so try not to fall into such situations in the winter. The advice is not the smartest, but as they say, the rich. Not for nothing, from time immemorial, all street children wander for the winter as close as possible to the south. The places of warm nights will literally be yours and will be occupied by competitors - the homeless. We'll have to join their team. Pluses - keep warm and you may be prompted by the place of free feeds. Cons - going down to this level will be difficult to climb back. But if there is no choice, then bread. Warm basements are now mostly locked by management companies, so the prospects are sad.

In the warm season, the options are much more, and it pleases.

Without which it can not do, so it is without water. Be sure to carry a supply of three liters in plastic bottles. Explore possible places where you can wash and replenish AShdva. As a rule, these are public toilets. In the spring and autumn season, a river or any other body of water will come down. Water from there is not worth drinking, but you can wash off the sweat and dirt. And then rinse the shirt. It is very important to be neat. A tidy person causes more confidence in himself, which will certainly facilitate your contact with the surrounding society. If possible, try not to knead clothes, shave and wash. If there is a river nearby, it is useful to take a dip a couple of times a day, even if it is cold.

Now to the question of food. In the version with a pond will help the frogs. You can catch them quite a lot and easily. If you overcome disgust, you will understand: frog meat, roasted on a fire is quite edible, and even tasty. There can be back and front paws, the rest is thrown away. It is better to make a fire in your shorts so that the clothes do not smell of smoke. By the way, make a habit to keep matches or a lighter in each set of outerwear just in case.

In addition, in a forested urban area, you can often profit from quite decent remnants of other people's picnics. Since the question is about survival, then there is no need to pick and choose. Food can also be found in catering. The child bit off a sandwich and threw it away. It is possible to finish. The main thing is that it will certainly be a fresh sandwich, the story of which you observed yourself. Products in the heat quickly deteriorate, so you should not risk it. For this reason, it is better not to eat anything with meat or other quickly perishable foods.

The main problem is overnight. In summer, in clear weather, you can spend the night on a bench in the park. As an option - the bus station. True, sitting in an uncomfortable chair is even worse to sleep than on a hard stool. From personal experience I will say that on the second day a solid stool turns into a quite cozy haulout. What is the matter - I will not put my mind, but a fact. You need to get enough sleep to the maximum, because tomorrow you will need vigor and strength.

You can search for accommodation in basements or in attics, but it is fraught. I repeat - all the most convenient places have long been chosen by bums or hooligans. Therefore, you can be beaten and robbed by everything that is still a little bit valuable. In addition, you can easily catch head lice and other unpleasant diseases.

The most trump card is to find a box from under the fridge or something like that. On a warm and relatively clean cardboard, you can sleep somewhere on the grass in the forest. You can hide yourself with someone’s old old coat that citizens hang near garbage cans for poor people. But, I repeat, it is necessary to return to society as quickly as possible. Otherwise, irreversible processes distort your personality and destiny.

This is the basic survival scheme that everyone can diversify if they creatively approach the problem. The options are actually not so small: chop firewood on an old woman, ask for a good widow for the night to sleep. setera. But it is better to let these tips not be useful to you.

If someone is disappointed with the simplicity of the above algorithms - sorry. But as in music, chords must follow strict harmony, so in life the logic of being determines the style of behavior. Everything superfluous or overly pretentious is simply cut off.

Vladimir Popryadukhin

They say that free cheese is only in a mousetrap. It is not always so. There are people who, by their own example, prove that you can live without money, and it’s not that bad (in any case, they don’t consider themselves offended). "Tape.ru" studied their stories and found out how they do it.

Year without purchases

After moving to a new home, London-based journalist Michelle McGagh noticed that she had inconspicuously accumulated a lot of junk. I decided to get rid of unnecessary things. Something sold, something presented to relatives and friends. As a result, got rid of 80 percent of their property.

After that, Michelle decided to declare a moratorium on unnecessary spending. To refuse all the benefits of civilization was not part of her plans, but she also did not want to spend money on unnecessary nonsense. I decided not to buy anything but the most necessary things for a year.

Michelle donated £ 30 a week for food, soap, toothpaste and toilet paper. Taking into account the difference in prices between England and Russia, this corresponds to approximately 1,200 rubles.

The journalist quickly discovered that saving is not so difficult. “Small expenses, which we don’t even think about, add up to serious sums of money,” explains Michel. - Before the experiment, I calculated where the money went last year. It turned out that I only spent about 400 pounds on coffee (almost 30 thousand rubles), although I don’t really like it. ”

To tighten the belt did not have to. The allocated money was quite enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner (although the search for products at a bargain price took time). Taxi and public transport girl replaced the bike. The hardest thing was to find a free replacement for restaurants, pubs and concerts, but in the end the journalist found that there was enough free entertainment in London: for example, you can watch a movie at a press show.

“It was not always easy, but by the end of the year I became richer and wiser,” summarizes Michel.

City Hunters and Gatherers

“When I lived in a large city, it was not difficult for me to find everything that was required for free,” Reddit user with the pseudonym thelastonemore admits. - I and my neighbors extracted food almost exclusively in the garbage. The only exceptions were yeast, soy sauce and the like. I also found most of the clothes for free, like almost all things in the house. ”

He considers himself a freegan - a man who rejects a capitalist economy for ideological reasons. Freegans do not approve of consumerism and believe that the pursuit of material goods destroys the environment. In addition, they, as a rule, absolutely do not want to go to work every morning and sit in the office until the evening.

Even in the modern metropolis, freegans want to live like primitive hunters and gatherers. They hunt for discarded things that can still be used, and collect food in the trash, share finds and help each other. Some people break gardens or plant goats right in the city.

“Finding products in the city is very easy,” explains thelastonemore. - Near the store with organic food was a garbage container, which often threw fake meat (not an amateur), hummus, tofu, juice, kombucha, sandwiches - and so on, and so on ... In fact, there was a full range of healthy store nutrition, and often quite fresh. " According to him, everything is in the garbage cans, you just need to know where to look.

Anyone help

Such a life attracts not only the young. German Heidemarie Schwermer (Heidemarie Schwermer) decided to abandon the money when she was over fifty. In 1994, she created an organization that helps local people change simple services, such as cleaning the house or looking after children, for food and things. “I noticed that I needed money less and less,” she recalled.

Once a friend, who was leaving the city for three months, asked her to look after the house. Heidemarie decided that this is a good chance to try to give up money and things. She got rid of all the property that did not fit in a small suitcase, sold the apartment and moved to her friend.

At first, a woman stayed with her old acquaintances and helped them with the housework. Then other people began to invite her. She made friends with the sellers in the stores, and they left her unsold foods.

Heidemarie liked it. “I didn’t want to live the old way,” she explained. After the release of a documentary film telling her story, it became even easier to travel: a woman was invited to different cities with lectures. She was without money for almost twenty years and died in March 2016.

Back to nature

“I think humanity turned the wrong way more than 10 thousand years ago,” says Irish Mark Boyle. “Agriculture, as Jared Diamond once said, turned out to be a disaster, after which we have not recovered. Most of us do not even realize that we are losing because we have never experienced this. ”

Boyle believes that civilization causes irreparable harm to the environment. In 2008, he decided that he no longer wanted to participate in it, got rid of the property, closed a bank account, left the city and settled in a trailer parked near a farm of acquaintances. He did not know how to grow his own food, but he wanted to learn. “I was a man who was more comfortable with a spreadsheet than a shovel,” he recalls.

We had to cook in the yard. Most of the food Boyle grew himself, something collected in the forest. In addition, shops in the local town allow him to collect the written-off balances for free. Many purchased goods in the forest found an adequate equivalent. Boyle began cooking his apple cider. There was no soap, but he collected a soap pot and washed their clothes. Toilet paper was replaced by old Daily Mail numbers that the local ones gave him.

After two or three months, Boyle stopped fearing that he would die of starvation. Anything or someone will always help. “I found that my well-being now does not depend on the money in a bank account, but on the strength of relationships with people, plants and animals around me,” he says.

“People often ask me how I do without technology. I find this question more interesting than the answer to it, but I do a thousand trifles, he says. “No day is like another.” Here, for example, what I did the other day: I built a smokehouse from trunks of trees felled in the forest to preserve trout and venison (I have no refrigerator, and I store the excess in the stomachs of my neighbors). The other day I made a pen for horses. In the morning I finished paving the walkway to the hut, then I worked on a deer skin, from which one day I would make clothes or something else useful. The veins will be instead of thread. "

Before we take on such material, we conducted a small survey among students (after all, they are no strangers to being beggar). Thus, based on their answers, we have compiled a ranking of the most popular things of prime necessity. Let's go in order.

Not surprisingly, students in the first place was, is and will be food. With common rogue, everything is simple: no products - shoot. And you can shoot food for a whole culinary masterpiece, it is checked for yourself. Plus, any student who lives far away from home has, by will-not, a supply of mother / grandmother's twists.

Tanya, 19 years old:

There are no problems with food: I brought 3 kg of mushrooms, 5 kg of moose meat from the house, three sticks of sausage and 15 kg of potatoes. All this is not counting pickles. So I would spend my last 100 rubles to travel to the university.

When the options with “begging - begging - begging” are not rolled, there is only one thing left - to buy products yourself. We all know about the existence of a minimum of the most necessary and inexpensive goods: cereals, pasta, sausages by weight ...

Misha, 22 years old:

With this money you can live and live, and have a very diverse diet. Look, you can buy cheap minced poultry for 100 rubles, horn, buckwheat, rice. And if there is an onion in the stock - generally cool: it contains slow carbohydrates that are absorbed for a long time, therefore, you go longer for the satiated.

Ilya, 18 years old:

Vital, I am now in about the same situation. Well, I would allocate 60 rubles for the trip (I just study 3 times a week), I would leave 100 for lunch at the university and for the remaining 40 I would buy buckwheat. No, rice. No, milk, yes, exactly, milk.

It's time for lifehacks. If suddenly you do not know how to cook at all, or you are ashamed to shoot food from your neighbors, then here is a tip: eat in the university or public canteen. About pies and salads forget right away, you can not afford it. Soups are another thing, they are very cheap everywhere.

Zhenya, 17 years old:

I do not need to spend money on travel - I live near the building. Therefore, I would leave my last 100 rubles in the canteen: soup for 15-20 rubles is a guarantee that I eat at least once a day.

But it's one thing to be a commoner, and another to be a home. Not every student can learn the joys of living in a dormitory, someone rents an apartment. But the situation in the spirit of "finance singing romances" is familiar to absolutely everyone. Meet Anya.

Anya, 23 years old:

If you live with your parents, no problem at all. But if you live alone, then you already need to set priorities. I would eat buckwheat or beach packs at home, and in universities I would wear homemade food.

Directions

The second place in our ranking of things of the first necessity is rightly taken by “travel to study / work”. No, we all know about the benefits of hiking, but, you see, walking back and forth every day on your own two feet is hard. Especially if you live far away.

Andrei, 21:

I have the most important thing to get home (I just live in Slobodskoy). Although, you understand, you are not particularly clever. In general, two options: either lend money or sell a kidney.

To drive a hare is an option, but it does not always roll. Therefore, some people combine travel and walking.

Katya, 20 years old:

When I have almost no money, I try not to spend money on travel: if I study for 8.00, then I go by trolleybus, if later I go on foot. The road home usually also ends with walks.

Harm

Mila, 20 years old:

I have been in such situations, so I will not invent anything, I will say it as it is: I would buy a pack of cigarettes and two Globus baguettes.

Grisha, 21:

For 100 rubles, you don’t even care too much. I would bet on sports. So what? The chance to win more than in the lottery, and you lose - no big deal, the sum is a penny.

Vanya, 21:

I know myself, I still could not rationally stretch such a small amount for a whole week. It remains - to drink with grief.

Summing up, I can say: a student does not need much for happiness. And how would you manage your last money in this situation?

The article presents footage from Soviet films.

A strange question, it seems, but, unfortunately, it excites almost everyone, because even the lazy can live with money, and if they don’t have it at all, then what?

After all, living without money is a whole art. After the crisis, many began to save, denying themselves everything, sometimes even got into serious debts. Large companies are closing, jobs are regularly reduced, utility bills and loans are growing, and we have to tighten our belts.

One can talk for hours about how to learn to live without money, but in practice these proposals do not work at all. Of course, some craftsmen do not look for work at all, sit with their parents on their necks, and constantly think about how to learn to live without money. To do this, you should at least occasionally raise your fifth point in search of work, and begin to earn money, develop independently, make plans for life, and not deny yourself anything. But there are also those who live in “the eternal search: the search for work, the good life, the well-being. But this, unfortunately, does not happen, will not come by itself! To achieve these goals, you need to work hard, and more than one year. As the saying goes, “the water does not flow under a rolling stone,” therefore, only with our own resources can true values ​​and well-being be achieved.

But, if you find yourself in such a situation that you are simply physically unable to earn good money, this article is for you. It makes no sense to calm down and tune in on the true path, I want to suggest some points as an interlocutor, tell real stories from the lives of others. After all, each of us once got into such situations when a serious issue was resolved - how to live without money ?

It is a pity, but more and more such people, every second family goes beyond the poverty limit. After all, the income of our citizens can not be compared with their real expenses. What is so much to pay a communal. Even if you are lucky and you have your own square meters, this does not mean that you can live normally. Almost all the salaries and pensions of citizens go to pay for utilities. What even talk about quality food, medicine, normal clothing. Many have already forgotten about a good vacation, a banal trip out of town or going to the movies with friends.
To feed his family, men go abroad, thereby losing important years to be spent with their loved ones. Moreover, abroad is no longer so paid as before, foreign visitors there are considered to be slaves who are willing to work for pennies for days. In rare cases, earnings abroad succeed, and the man permanently takes his wife and children.

And what should pensioners, disabled people, orphans, teenagers who are left alone do? How to learn to live without money, because the opportunity to earn money yet, do not want to steal, and help from outside can be expected for years.

There is no point in borrowing , because there will be nothing to give! For a while, relatives or friends can be asked to pay a small amount for a salary or pension, but in the next month you will have to save even more, because you will have to pay back the loan. Going to a pawnshop and donating a single family value for a couple of hundred rubles is also not an option, because that's all you have.

And can give their bodies in the donor campaign? Can! But after that, you will begin such health problems that all your earnings will go to treatment. It is possible that during the removal of organs you will start bleeding and you will no longer return to reality, the risks are very high. All this is very sad and scary. Only crazy for this will go! But blood donation is possible, such a procedure is even very good for health. Moreover, for such a good deed, you can earn good money. Therefore, if your health is normal, and the doctor gives the go-ahead for such donations, you can regularly receive a certain amount for a portion of your own blood. To your karma +1, also the purse has replenished.

Do general cleaning at home! Collect waste paper, plastic bottles, scrap metal, and other tinsel that only hangs under your feet, but can be useful to many manufacturing companies.

Do you have a lot of unnecessary things? Collect all the excess and take it to the commission, or place an ad for the sale on the Internet. Though not very large, but you will soon have financial investments. Though b / y, but good things disassemble instantly.

Do you have a special talent, a good hobby? Try to make a profitable business out of it! This may be the sale of products from various materials, hand made as they say. You can draw portraits to order, embroider, write songs. Such things are very much appreciated in the modern world and are appreciated. In addition, you can go to the courses, then work as a manicurist, become a good hairdresser, make-up artist, cook, nanny, cleaner for rich people or a cosmetics seller. By the way, skillful housewives are quite successful in selling their preparations: pastries, cakes to order, dinners ... yes, whatever! The main thing to think about the concept of this case, which is more suitable for your contingent. A man can be a master, an employee.

Modern technology allows you to unwind well. The Internet provides great opportunities, so try, and suddenly get lucky. In addition, there are many labor exchanges that make it possible to earn remotely. In the presence of a normal computer and permanent Internet is the ideal option for you. Try yourself as an author: write reviews in the first couple, learn to write articles, translate texts, participate in paid surveys, create your own websites. This is a very profitable business, which over time can bring a decent condition.

By the way, if in difficult times there is no finances even for personal care, sign up as a model in a nail salon or a hairdresser’s school. There are many people who want to be in the role of applied material, but sometimes you can get to the right place.

Do not forget to save! If there are finance - immediately distribute every last penny. Buy normal, healthy food, without surplus, cook at home, do not buy different preparations from the stores. Take only the most necessary, vegetables and fruits - according to the season, buy in wholesale places, use the sales in stores.

By the way, if you have a dacha or relatives from the village help, then you may already have excellent blanks, which are enough to interrupt in difficult days.

You can live without money, but it is better to try to earn extra hard-earned money, because they will never be superfluous.
There are a lot of options, you need to weigh everything carefully, and a white stripe in your life will definitely begin. The main thing - do not give up, because the weak and weak-willed people will never get what they want. No need to be a beggar or constantly get into debt, because this is the last thing you can do.

Fight, look for options, and you will finally find happiness! Indeed, in a country where money rules all, it is almost impossible to live without finances!

Since our country entered the market economy phase, money has become literally everything for many people. Indeed, in our everyday reality it is not very clear how to live without money. Is it possible? Is it necessary to live like this?

Why do we need money?

The first thing that comes to mind is the need for food and shelter. Meeting the physiological needs and the need for security is, according to the famous American psychologist Maslow, the main thing for any person. So, first of all, money is needed to pay for food, clothing, renting a home (or paying utility bills).

At this value of finance in our lives is not limited. After all, we are accustomed to using certain types of goods and services that make life easier, more interesting and richer. You have to pay for everything, because the people who worked for us want to receive adequate remuneration for their efforts.

Forced lack of money

Poverty in Russia is still one of the most burning problems. Many people, for various reasons left without shelter and livelihood, have to look for the answer to the question "how to live without money and housing" every day. Sometimes they have to sleep in the open and live on alms. Because of this, in winter, many die of frostbite. There are shelters for the homeless and social hotels, but they are not able to accept all those in need. However, if a person who finds himself in a difficult life situation has not yet lost the human species and is not experiencing problems with socialization, there are worthy solutions.

Religious organizations

Many religious organizations provide assistance to people without food and shelter. In addition to regular actions, in which the ministers of the churches feed the homeless and give them clothes collected by the parishioners, there is also the opportunity to become a novice of a monastery. The abode can be found in almost any locality. We will have to strictly observe its charter and work with other monks, but the monastery will take care of the daily bread and lodging for the night. In this case, the novice is often not obliged to take on any long-term obligations and has the right to terminate the ministry at any time of his own free will. To devote oneself to religion is one of the most effective ways to live without money.

Volunteer activities

There are a number of spheres in which it is traditionally instituted to accept the help of volunteers-volunteers. Such employees do not receive payments for their work, but they are not obliged to pay for food or stay. Prefer such work is not only because it is a good option, how to live without money, but also because it is an opportunity to go there, where he has not been before, and to see what he has never seen. Frequently, volunteers are required by various nature reserves and national parks to clean up, observe or care for animals.

Sometimes volunteers are required in expeditions or archaeological research. Before deciding to participate in a volunteer project, you should be familiar with the conditions: not all organizations are willing to feed the volunteers or pay for their transportation.

Barter

You can pay for your immediate needs, without using money, but offering your own labor or ready-made results of your activities. This technology is called barter and also allows you to live without money. The principle of barter is very simple: "you - me, I - you." There are several conditions that allow you to arrange your life through barter. For example, things will go faster if the result is a certain finished product.

For a woodcarver, this is a finished product, for a cook — a dish, for a woodcutter — firewood, but if we are talking about such an occupation as software testing, then getting paid for it through barter seems almost impossible. It is also desirable that the consumer of services and their performer do not share long distances. Among the neighbors, this is solved more easily - you dragged me of water, with it for me three liters of milk. But if we live in neighboring villages, the situation becomes more complicated, and if in different cities the deal becomes impossible.

Also, the barter scheme is stalled where unequal exchanges are required. For example, one participant in the transaction produces an expensive product in a limited quantity and does not receive so much, and once or twice a year, and he himself needs small portions of products and services regularly, and from different specialists. Now the business has moved from a dead end - barter clubs appear, where entire chains of barter exchange are created. The object of barter can be not only the result of one’s own labor, but also things that are simply unnecessary at the moment, very necessary for someone else. The development of barter exchanges in many major cities also suggests that with each passing day more and more people are finding ways to live without money in general.

How people live without money

Today, the general public knows people who can be taken as a model of how to live without money.

Heidemarie Schwermer lives in Germany, it has existed outside the exchange of monetary units for more than 17 years. One should not think that at the same time she is begging or spending the night at bus stops, because the refusal of money has become her own conscious choice. Starting with some kind of social network for the exchange of goods and services, she came to the fact that she can get everything necessary for life for free. By providing their services in exchange for food and lodging, a woman not only lives happily, but can also afford to travel. Promoting his concept and view of the world, Heidemarie Schwermer finds more and more supporters who want to choose life without money, both in Germany and abroad. Inspired by her positive experience, in 2003 she wrote a book, currently translated into many languages.

Away from civilization

Another world-famous person who knows from his experience how to live without money is the American Daniel Suelo. True, he refused not only to exchange coins and banknotes, but also said “no” to the entire consumer society, which was so actively promoted by his homeland. At 53 years old, he went to live in a cave located near the city of Moab in Utah. In addition to money, Suelo decided to abandon barter, any handouts from the state or charitable organizations, leaving for himself only what is given for free or discarded. The roots of his choice turned out to be more religious than social. Following Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, he took a vow for himself to live only by his mercy and by nature. In addition, living under the laws of the civilized world, he experienced intolerable suffering, which ceased immediately in his new life. The fate of Daniel Suelo also stirs the minds and has already inspired the writer Mark Sandin to devote his book The Man Who Threw Money to him.

Does poverty happen to be stylish?

All those who are not obsessed with the idea of ​​“how to live without money”, but at the same time would like to save significantly, without reducing their standard of living, and perhaps raising it, the book “The Art of Stylish Poverty. How to become rich without money, written by Alexander von Schonburg. The author, in essence, urges to be content with small and to reconsider his needs in the interests of the budget. If, for a moment, to get out of the usual cycle of affairs, sit down and calmly think, then many expenses and expenses will seem unnecessary, and matters requiring significant investments are not worth it.

In fact, there are many cheaper ways to prove to yourself and others that you are worth something than to hang yourself with new-fashioned gadgets or to dress in the latest fashion. A visit to expensive and prestigious institutions can be replaced by a walk in the park or a picnic in the open air.

Cashless Travels

Our needs are not limited to “bread alone.” As soon as life is more or less settled, there is a need for new impressions and sensations. It turns out, and they are sometimes available to everyone absolutely free. There is a stereotype that if we are talking about travel, especially to distant and exotic countries, then a blow to the budget is indispensable. Indeed, visa, insurance, transportation, hotels, tours and entertainment - how to approach this without an impressive amount of money? The famous traveler Anton Krotov has been directly and indirectly talking about this for many years. From 1995 to this day, his books about travels in Russia and abroad have been published. A distinctive feature of his travels is that they require a minimum amount of money. The fact is that he makes extensive use of “hitchhiking,” that is, the voluntary desire to give him a lift, arising from people following in the same direction. This spontaneous movement arose, apparently, with the advent of roads and vehicles.

If a person stands on the sidelines and raises his hand, then regardless of the language adopted in the given country, the driver becomes more or less aware that the wanderer needs to move in this direction, and he asks for help with this.

This way of moving seems to the modern resident of a megalopolis hopelessly outdated or completely fantastic. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the “hitchhikers” travel to this day, sometimes overcoming more than a thousand kilometers a day. Often, the good-natured driver is ready not only to give a ride to the sufferer, but also to feed him, and sometimes, and provide overnight accommodation in the spacious cab of the truck. Traveling this way is possible not only in Russia, but also abroad. You only need a basic knowledge of the language, the necessary documents, as well as a passport. In the design of all kinds of papers, moneyless travelers over the years have become adept and generously share tips in thematic communities.

We make money

It happens that life without money is not a voluntary choice, but only a forced condition. A man would love to earn some extra money, but he doesn’t know how to do it. In this case, too, have their own options:

• register with the labor exchange;
• go for seasonal / temporary work;
• find an occupation that does not require education, experience or skills;
• do your own business.

Let us consider in more detail each of them. The labor exchange accepts applicants with documents. You will need a passport with a permanent residence permit and educational documents, if any. The benefits of the employment service are not only in finding a job, but also in registering as unemployed, which entails assigning benefits that are paid monthly. Also, if it is not possible to find a suitable vacancy, there is a chance to complete refresher courses for free and master a new specialty. Sometimes enterprises hire workers on a temporary basis, designed to replace permanent employees who have gone on long-term leave. This can be a good way to replenish your budget, as well as prove yourself in a new team - perhaps, at the end of the contract, there will be a spot for a valuable frame.

There are also professions that do not require experience or any specific skills. These are advertisers, promoters, movers / packers, security guards and so on. God knows what work, but in a difficult life situation, you can agree to it.

Own business? This is the way out!

If you manage to register as an unemployed person, then there is another interesting opportunity: do business. In other words, open your business. The employment service will be able to provide significant assistance in this: to teach the basics of running a business, to help deal with the paperwork and even provide financial assistance if the applicant makes a competent business plan. This is not a complete list of options where to get money, perhaps, thinking, you can add it yourself.

Summing up

In conclusion, a very simple conclusion suggests itself: whatever situation you have to get into, the most important thing is not to lose optimism and your mood to overcome all obstacles. Then the lack of money can not only survive, but also wrap in their favor.
