Why is it profitable to be homeless

First of all, lets start with why someone becomes homeless. In my opinion, anyone, who does not want to work hard enough for something, can become homeless. Some people are born poor, some become poor, but the main reason they give up is usually lack of inspiration and a lot of “I do not give a fuck”.

Anyhow, this article is not about why people become hopeless, but about the people who are living on the streets of big cities like rats and beg for money, but do not want to do anything to earn it.

I saw in Budapest a lot of homeless guys, who sleep on the streets. I spoke to some of them and I realized that these people decieve you. They usually come in the capital only during summer, when they can sleep here and there. Some of them actually have a place where to live in some small village, or simply come from other countries just to beg for money.

A homeless guy makes around 10 to 50 euros per day, if he begs good enough. Tourists give them money, because they think they deserve it. Actually, most of the homeless guys have a heartbreaking fictional story to tell to people, just to make them feel miserable and give them a lot of money.

I once askedĀ  a guy: why don’t you go to a small village, ask somebody to let you live with them and work hard every day to start a new life? They said that it is not worth it, since they make a lot more money doing nothing than working hard every day.

Of course, there are also the dillusioned ones, the people who have six diplomas and cannot find work. The situation is the same: they think they are better than some small job they could get as a start.

Remember one thing:

Working is never a shame!
