You know the saying 'its only when you have nothing that you know what you had', well I think I am complaining too much about my life, so I thought maybe I should live out in the streets for a period of a week to see how it is like to be stripped of everything you have and to literally hit rock bottom. What do you think?
Why don't you put all your possession / luxuries into a large storage container. In the UK 5 celebrities tried to do this, sleeping rough in London but some of them dropped out after a few days.
I don't think it would be too hard to experiment but may be too hard to stick it out.
There are people who end up in difficult situations, there are people who really want a humbling experience & then, there are people who saw "Fight Club".
No, you don't get props if you read the book, too.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Chuck's books quite a bit, but it's really hard to look at these kids who want to "try out homelessness" as anything but mini-douchebags, especially when I've actually been there.
If that's not you then go for it & stick with it for as long as you can & more power to you.
If it is you then get a hobby.
Sell everything you own on craigslist (Furniture, Computer, Car, House, everything), cancel all of your credit cards, and donate all of your money to charity. Quit your job, make sure you don't own anything, not even clothing.
Find somewhere you feel comfortable and just sit around naked in the street, maybe a cop will pick you up and give you something to wear, then you should experience what it's like to be homeless.
