You have nothing. ue to some tragic circumstances, you have no home, no transportation, no money, food, etc. The only things you have left that you can truly say are yours are a few changes of clothes and a cardboard box. You've lost all contacts, no friends, no family. They either won't talk to you or they have no power to help you.

What do you do?

Walk around the country. I mean, when you have nothing, you have everything. I would have nothing to lose. I could either sit and wallow in depression, or go on an adventure until I get some cash. And I'm thinking that I would chose the second option.

Become a wanderer for a while before I can sort something out. Into the Wild is one of my favourite movies.

-clears throat- Ahem, I first turn over the cardboard box and use it as a selling stand I take a couple of my changes of clothes and sell them to poor people for a tiny bit of money. After that I take the cardboard box to someone that needs to ship something and try to peddle a dollar or so out of the person, next I take the money I have and move to an area where they are hiring people to work on farms and work there and live in their little worker shacks. After making some more money I move to another farm and to another. After a while I make up enough to get a first month's rent in an apartment. Then while in the apartment I visit the local unemployment office and explain my situation. Then after being placed in a job that doesn't require much I work my way up and get raises. Then after a while I get enough money to do something with, so I take an idea that I have had for years and decide to create and patent it. That idea takes off slowly and people start buying more and more of it. Then finally I get enough money to mass produce, thus giving me the ability to build production facilities all over the United States. Then some investors from a foreign country come over and work with me to bring my product to their country, then more and more investors come in from all over. Then I become not just a U.S. producer but a worldwide producer. Then I sit in my million dollar chair and look at the sunset and think about where it all started. From nothing to something, from zero to billions I have become something and I am someone.

Go to a gas station and steal their windshield washer, find a bucket in the back of someones truck, fill it with water, and wash windshields at busy intersections for tips with a go-get-em attitude, eating what I can here and there. Finding drinking water wouldn't be a problem because most fast-food places give out free water cups. After raising money from washing windshields (however long it takes), I will wash myself clean in the bathroom of a McDonalds and start applying for jobs. Considering I have a high school diploma and three and a half years of college under my belt, I doubt finding a lower paying job would be too hard. After raising money being a cook,or a janitor, or a cashier, or whatever else, I'll find a place with cheap rent. Continue raising money for an indefinite amount of time and then get out of the **** hole. Easy.

been near there before, your get a job, once you do that you develop a trade in your off time, then you get a job related to that trade. after building up some capital you then go to school to develop a skill, once you have said skill you get a job related to that skill. now that you have a job in your end field you further your qualifications with in that field. success, now you went from nothing to better off than most, and not a single handout or loan was required.

I would first find a stick, I would then proceed to walk while looking for an animal to defeat in an epic battle. After I defeat the valiant foe I roast it over a fire, I then find a river and drink the water. After that I realize I was in my backyard all along.

I assume that I lose my university course, which would be a shame, and that I start from exactly where I am standing now at about 9am.

The first day I would walk to my nearest town and beg for money, hopefully around $10. With that $10 I would buy a loaf of bread, bottle of water, jar of Vegimite, and a pack of disposable knives, which will last me the day. I would then go to the bank and set up a savings account, followed by going to Centrelink and getting the Newstart Allowance. I would then walk to the next town over and go to the TAFE, where I would enrol in a training course. I would then go to the local St Vinnies and get a couple of blankets. I would spend any free time in the library, and then sleep on a park bench.

The next week would be a bit rough. I would have to rely on handouts from St Vinnies for food, though I would attend classes where possible. Basically I would spend all of my time in the library studying outside of class and sleep.

Once I get my first payment of $475 from the government, I will be able to get ahead. I would buy myself one decent meal as a treat, a cheap mobile phone for contact, and a printing card at the library to print off a couple of resumes. I would walk into every business in the area, asking them for a job. I would save everything else, still go to class, still get meal money of St Vinnies, and still sleep on a park bench.

After a month of recieving my government payments I will have enough money for an appartment bond. I would then apply for Rental Assist from Centrelink, adding me about $150 a fortnight. That'll give me about $625 a fortnight from the government, $450 of which will go to rent and the rest will be food and buying things for the apartment.

From there I would gradually build up my assets. Assuming I have jobs paying about $300 a week, and government payments of $300 a fortnight, I would have a mattres, fridge, microwave, toaster, table and chairs within a month of getting the appartment.Over the next six months I would get a motorbike license and a second hand bike. I would then be able to search for more jobs out of the area, and hopefully get perminant part-time work whilst still studying at TAFE.

I would steal a pen and draw a robot face on the cardboard box. I would put it on my head and re-imagine myself as Egongatron, crime fighter and literal love machine!

Egongatron does not require substenance or bathing; Egongatron craves only steel fists of justice and the love of a good woman.
