HOW LONG WOULD IT BE UNTIL YOU BECAME HOMELESS?

[+] ballot by LCD
created Fri Sep 30, 05
Suppose you got fired today. You can't find a job, no matter how hard you try - the unemployment rate is officially 100%. How long can you live on your savings, until you become homeless?

Keep in mind, you still have all your monthly obligations, credit card & mortgage payments/rent, food, car etc.

You can't move back home to your parents either. that's too easy.

less than 1 month
1-3 months
4-8 months
9-12 months
12month - 2 years
more than 2, less than 3 years
4-10 years
I have enough saved to last the rest of my life.

I have a bag lady plan. If I ever become homeless and have no way to earn a living (i.e. too old to be a ho) I would commit an obvious crime and get put in women's prison...it ain't as bad as the boy's lock up. Heck I could take up crochet again.

My principle fallback position would be my credit cards and salable assets.

If I liquidated everything I owned, moved to the woods and lived in a tent, subsisted on Dinty Moore stews, well, I could survive quite a long time.

Not a quality long time, but a long, long time.

I still partly live off my parents' money anyway, even though I have a job and don't live with them. If I didn't have their money I would probably move out of my apartment in order to be homeless.

not long, though i do have a tent.... i'd have to move further south though **shudder**

Having a number of contacts outside the country, I'd leave and seek work there. I have couches I could crash on in at least two Asian nations, and that's bound to be where the jobs have gone if we ever hit 100% unemployment. So, I'm going to say I'd just reset the game and go on my merry way.

~1 year

That is a very interesting question, if not a little disturbing.
If I played my cards right, I figure I've got about a year. Bare-bones existence mind you.
Great ballot.

Never.

If the unemployment rate is 100%, that means nobody is working for the collection agency so the property is officialy mine.

I would stay there indefinately and live off the land and any trespassers would not be warmly greeted.

6.25 months at my current spending rate (23.75 if I sell a property, assuming someone would want to buy a property in such a crisis) 4 times that if I reduced my expenses to a comfortable minimum.
