What would you do......

El Guapo!

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and all you had was the clothes on your back and €100 in your pocket?
No job, no house, no car, no family, no friends, nothing.
What would you do? Where would yo go? Do you think you'd survive and bounce back or would it be the end of you?

Where would I be waking up?

Have the €100 on a nag! Tho it sounds already like my luck is out.....

JONJO THE MISER

ID be okay because i get my dole on a Wed, can spend the 100 on the piss:)

liah

I've done it on multiple occasions, generally with far less than 100 euro.

With the 100 I'd just save it for food.. I'm already where I want to be. The rest, well, sleep rough for a bit, grab food when I could, occasionally find a couch, probably luck into finding a place to stay for awhile, then get a job and so on and so forth.

That said, the whole "freedom from having nothing" is 100% confirmed BS.

I would set up a charity for similarly unlucky souls and then pay myself a handsome salary for running said charity and laugh at similarly unlucky souls.

Switch on light.
You cannot find light.
Look in pockets
You reach in to your pockets and turn them inside out. You find a lighter, some cash and a receipt.
Use lighter on receipt
Are you sure?
Yes.
You burn the receipt not knowing that you're smelling natural gas. The last thing you remember is the popping noise of your eyeballs as they melt.

GAME OVER.

You cannot smell natural gas - it has no smell. Witty reply FAIL.

Could be worse, you could wake up dead?

To answer your question. I would instantly start breakdancing for money, like a busker except im chuckin out fresh dance moves to the applause of a lively crowd who throw loadza cash into the hat on the ground.

Months later i would set up a breakdance studio for the morbidly overweight. I would call it The Wibbly Wobbly Workshop.

Where am I? Where's my family? What is this strange place? Where's my wallet? How come I have €100 in my pocket but nothing else? Have I been robbed? What that dull ache in my side? Are those stitches? Mwaaaaah, I have been robbed...

I find it funny the way people think up these really elaborate scenarios, post a thread asking people what they would do. . . then log out immediately and contribute nothing to the thread, until it has faded in to the oblivion of page 2!

Anyway, I'd be well pissed off waking up in that rain today, after it's been so dry for the past while like? Jesus, trust my luck.

I'd fall in love with a piece of technology... And I'd fall is love... with doing adds for Sky plaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

But I'd fall even more in love for all the cash I get for doing them..... Graaaaah... Money.. Fabulous.

Really?

I suppose go to social welfare and see what the could do for me. then off to citizens advice bureau. depending on the weather I might have to buy myself a coat and but definitely some food.

If i was getting nowhere with social I would hit up St Vincent de paul for some accomodation or a homeless hostel. Yeah I know they are meant to be dangerous but I would be better than spending a night out alone.

Day 2 back to Social Welfare to see what they can do for me.

My main aim initially would be to get some sort of place to stay and get on social welfare and try to work it from there. you are not going to be able to get a job if you are dirty.

If i could wrangle a job my next priority would be to get access to a computer and get back on to boards so I could tell everyone in after hours the amazing personal journey I had taken :pac:

Well at first I'd get something to eat, prob McDonalds euro saver as I'm on a tight budget. Then I'd have to come up with some sort of plan so I'd sit and think a while. A guy who looks like an ape would walk by and I'd get a great idea and head to the zoo. Once I was there I'd distract the zoo keeper with some sort of dance. When he fell asleep from having such a good time I'd sneak in and steal a monkey.
I'd name the monkey Brendan. Anyway me and my buddy Brendan would travel around break-dancing for food. (I'd teach him to dance pretty quickly) We'd eventually get spotted by the owner of a travelling circus and we'd travel the world brake-dancing in the circus.
Eventually all the fame would go to Brendans head and he'd become an alcoholic and coke addict. He'd beat up his monkey girlfriend Juanita and in a drug-fuelled rage he'd jump off the high wire, committing suicide and leaving behind 3 little monkey babies.
Naturally I'd have to take care of Juanita and the baby monkeys so we'd move back to Ireland and buy a nice house with all the money I earned in the circus. Juanita and I would fall in love and have a little freaky half human have monkey thing who we'd name Dr. Bollocko for no reason at all.
I'd prob be arrested eventually for beastiality and I'd go down for 20 years. I wouldnt be able to live with myself so I'd be found one morning hanging by Juanita's favourite scarf. (she gave it to me to remember her while I was in prison). I would be buried with Brendan in....em....Italy and Juanita would turn to prostitution probably.

In all fairness ireland is probably one of the best countries in the world that you could find yourself in the situation the OP described.

Firstly I'd wonder how all my clothes ended up folded neatly on my back. I don't like where this scenario has been.

You can go to bed and not be dead, and you can die and not be in the bed. But you are in the bed. That's how you wake up dead in the first place fool! That's some quantum s**t right there man!;)

I would borrow a guitar, buy a ticket to Galway, and busk on Shop Street. After a week I might be lucky enough to have made a few hundred, so Id buy a decent guitar, and do a bit of a busking tour of the country... pretty soon Id have enough for a car/van, and I would do guitar and music workshops around the place, whilst continuing to busk at night.
I wouldn't be making millions, but I'd be pretty comfortable

Well it depends where would you be waking up? Well i know a good few people with no job, no house, not much money, no car and not much of a family at all and they can survive. Its not the worse thing that can happen. At least you would have your health.

I'd track down Wayne Rooney. A fool and his money are soon parted. It'd be a very quick €1500.
