the UK is pretty much just as trashy as the US imo

watch your back if you move into council housing, wouldn't want any chavs to nick your mobile

I agree with maybe talking to a council housing, that would be a great option. There are also in small towns plenty of under the table jobs available you just gotta put yourself out there and ask both "is there work available under the table or over the table?"

If you can pick up some here and there jobs from neighbors and people around town you can make enough to keep you afloat until you do in fact get a good job.

Another thing I can suggest, this is what my cousins do. They offer grocery services, so you go to the persons house 2 times a week and do their shopping for them, they give you 20-50$ each week for doing their shopping for them twice a week. Not a bad way to make a buck, with doing it for 5 people a week you would be earning at least 100$ a week, not bad IMO.

PS. to those who are joking at the OP's expense, not cool man... not cool... if you were in the same position you'd like a straight answer and a little respect.

aren't you supposed to have a job and be moving out of your parents' house when you're 18 anyway under normal circumstances?

art thou not supposed to be getting married and moving into your own apprenticeship quarters at 12 anyway under normal circumstances?

learning a trade young is a good idea too

Lots of people live with their parents past 18, it's a misconception that a kid is supposed to leave the nest at 18, 100 years ago they would not leave until they were married and had a child. In fact, in Pakistan it is even common for parents to keep a son or daughter living with their wife and children in the same home they grew up in or that the parents own.

whilst using pakistan as an example is not very useful considering we are talking a purely western scenario here, it is true that a tooooooon of people live with their 'rents past 18. especially in the uk. housing here is pretty nutso, not to mention the current job status (hint: there are none)

also chavs nick ipods, get your facts straight. innit.

that differs from country to country you know. i don't know how much difference between UK and US though but i assume they are exactly the same?!? this isn't a jab yer the man dietcoke 

Well you're supposed to pursue the american dream on your own.......

maybe that's why they grow up to be childish sand people who's entire genetic legacy can be wiped from the planet with a single hellfire missile launched from a drone

travel the country on foot, get food by panhandling or dumpster diving or eat dandelions, squat empty buildings etc lol

those stupid africans maybe they wouldnt be so hungry if they started eating dandelions -_-

ahahaa

that was good dok, the fact that you made fun of yourself made it even funnier.

Actually I know people that do that so yeah.  Some people make more than 70 bucks a day just by panhandling...and I know people that dumpster dive and make entire feasts out of what they find.

yuk yuk

being homeless only sucks if you've got more things than you can comfortably carry otherwise it's not too bad

if its just grass and fruit then its not a feast sorry, a feast must have meat included

lol
