I'm a bum too. I had a lil bit of money saved up into gold and silver but was laid off in 09. I regretfully had to sell most of it, though I was waiting for gold to hit 1500 first. Goddamn and silver is so expensive, it's gonna cost me 4x as much to replace the complete set of silver dollars I had purchased soon before being laid off.
I never had a problem looking for jobs in the past but it's getting harder everyday. Even with all the medical licenses marijuana use isn't acceptable to companies so I still have to cheat those, but that hasn't even happened yet. I have been bombarded with spam and bullshit job adds that mislead you into thinking your applying for a job when your really giving information to shady businesses or people. At first I went around looking for applications, everytime I was told everything is online and many applications are tedious and I hate those damn questionaires with a passion. Anyways good luck out there, times sure have changedd over the last decade haven't they?
