wait, lol, do you have to account for debts when it comes to savings? if so i have negative $35,000 then

That's net worth. Savings is just liquid cash in a bank account where you earn basically no interest because banks are money hungry rear end entities who want you to keep your $$ in their coffers so they can invest it and only charge you fees because they suck.

I'll hopefully have my car paid off by October and then I can start saving a little more. But I read the article about having twice your yearly salary in saving by age 35 and I just laughed until I cried.

I myself currently have £-2000 in savings because I selfishly splurge on food and shelter.

I actually do wonder why there aren't more specifically sports-themed RPGs. Obviously there's Golf Story, and Pyre is based around a ritualized sport instead of violent combat, but I can't think of many beyond that.

There is that series of carpgs if you consider racing a sport. You drive around as a tiny car, winning races and doing quests to upgrade your car so that you can eventually take on the president car in a race so that you can become the president car. It's called Road Trip Adventure, the Japanese title is Choro Q I think, and there are some others in the series that I don't believe got brought over but you might wanna look into those.

I also know that Camelot made some various mario sports titles that have solid RPG modes, and the upcoming mario tennis game's campaign mode seems like a return to that sort of format.

Protip: learn where the condemned houses are in your neighborhood if you are ever worried about being so broke that you can't afford housing.


Condemned houses aren't nice obviously but it'll keep you dry and it means you don't have to fumble around trying to climb into the bag of a lumber truck or attempt to slide under a car at a parking garage or disguise yourself between the hedges and walls of buildings

Second protip: keep a crowbar on you, or something of equivalent force. Ideally you'll never have to use it but it's there if you need it as a tool for protection. Always have backup plans for where you can stash these so that you don't need them during the day when you're out in public and in the light but you'll be able to get them once it is dark and you're more vulnerable.

Third protip: there are always parking garages in urban areas, and where there are parking garages, there are good squat spots. Elevators make for good sleeping places if you can find a relatively inactive parking garage. Otherwise, covering up near a corner should work fine as well.

The cops are not your friends, the public are not your friends, be wary of resting in daylight because people can and will bug you to move because your existence is annoying them by reminding them that poors exist, trust nobody but yourself and your closest friends, don't put too much trust in your fellow homeless people because what may be a friend one day may be an enemy the next, and don't get too attached because what may be a friend one day may be a corpse the next.

Always make fun of stupid college activist people who do poo poo like "we're raising awareness for homeless people by building cardboard homes we'll sleep in for a night outside the dorms in a dedicated safe area while we all have things to keep us warm. that way people will know that homeless people exist. then we can build them a home so they won't be homeless anymore, but the homeless person is going to have to help us build it because they're not getting this place for free. also let's ignore the actual homeless person who lives nearby and who had the remains of someone's rotten refrigerator food dumped on them as a prank because they were homeless and therefore helpless"

Aren't all RPGs pretty much "homeless: the game?"

You don't have a home. You wander around stealing poo poo. You fantasize about conspiracies and dark plots against you. You talk to fairies.
