You have no home, no friends, no family, no possessions. Basically you have nothing except for ten bucks in your pocket. What are you going to do?

Buy 100 shares of Amazon.com!

I'd walk. Wander. Find a forest/jungle/mountain pass and live in it.

With that ten bucks I'd be able to buy more than enough necessary to live...

i'd invest $1 and beg for money and use the $9 for food.

I'm going to live in a homeless shelter and find work. That is what I would do until I found enough money.

So what that is about £7 or something. I would buy a slinky and walk into British Home Stores walk to the top of the up escalator and push it down. And watch it forever. Not a cure for my woes but a good waste of time.

Buying a slinky. Did you know it was invented by an engineer who made it for use in the military? It turned out to be unfit for use in vehicles but it was very bouncy and it turned out to be a very popular toy. Anyway, what would you do once you got tired of the slinky?

That's how you'll earn money? By the way, where will you live?

I highly doubt that.

Seems worth it but not for the long run.

Buy a good blanket. If it was winter, I'd be screwed. During summer, sleeping in the streets is not something I mind. Steal food?

Most likely sooner or later contact the government thingies and explain the situation and probably get placed somewhere...

Kinda wish I could wander-travel in the hobo way, see the world. Make money from random small jobs along the way. But I think I lack both knowledge and courage for that.

I'd probably do that too.

Same. I have considered some day traveling the world and doing odd jobs even if I do end up getting my degree in college.

Go to the library and read loads of books on survival and go to a nearby jungle and to light a fire easily just burn the ten dollars (£7). Then my dream job will be a monkey.

Ask for job as a cleaning guy. Earn money, and than live my life.

Well, I'd buy 6 Filet-O-Fishes thanks to the McDonald's 2 for $3 deal, and spend the remaining one dollar on an Apple Pie. That way, my death would be quick.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Why don't hobos get arrested? That way, they get shelter, food, and clothes.
