Advice please?

Don't do any cash advances or payday loan stuff,
Beg or barrow about 100 before departing and get water, already cooked rolls, tuna, peanut butter and jelly, and some cheap candy.
Don't forget toothpaste / tooth brush and soap bar and towel/ facecloth.
if you smoke , buy large bag of pipe tobacco ( regular) and lots of rolling papers and/ a pipe maybe.
3 days clothes - shirts/pants/ underwear and socks and a heavy duty jacket or two hoodies worn together. A beanie and felt gloves inserts too.
As far as tools, if you can , air gauge and flashlight minimum.

i lived on the above quite a bit over the years and it can be done till you get a paycheck you can use.
- shop at the dollar store for the food, pants and clothes at goodwill , and use every way to cook available. Don't forget salt/ pepper / ketchup- mustard- taco sauce packets/ and a spoon!!!

 

I guess the OP done starved to death....we all just wasting our time on this thread

 

I call it rollerdog gourmet. Use your points to get rollerdogs and pack the tray with condiments for your cupboard.. No one cares. Use those to jazz up canned protein [tuna and chicken] from walmart, with crackers and a gallon of flavored water. Deer park bottles are a dollar and make great pee jugs since they have the big cap. Throw bananas, bag of apples, some peanut butter, bag of prunes and trail mix in the cart and youre good. The prunes are for power dumping on command. I try to limit bread and never buy junk food. It just makes you fat and tired.

A $22/month planet fitness membership will often ensure you have parking and a 24 hour bathroom/shower without the truckstop wallet draining. The trucks can be stacked ontop one another at peelot and not be a single one over at planet fitness. Plus, you cant workout in T/A and the girls at the gym look way better than the ones at the truckstop.

 

Stay away from payday loans.

 

Man once you have been poor and have to buy a weeks worth of groceries go 20 bucks it’s all easy after that. Potato’s and ramen noodles.
