[GWN7]

I've been hungry and broke before. One time I had enough money to either feed myself or my dog till payday. I made ketchup soup for supper for 3 days.

Beside the Immigration problem, the IRS problem and the 104 lbs dog problem the first thing I'd do is look for a temp agency. They pay slightly above minimum wage and usually will pay everyday. This solves the immediate cash flow problem ($20 would feed you for two days if your careful).

Next is shelter. Assuming your not dumping me in a city like here where it hits -50C or a place where there are no social service's I'd look for a Salvation Army or a hostel. Sally Ann would make you sing for your supper but they would feed you and give you a place to stay. Depends on where you are there might be a limit to how long you could stay at either place. Next full time employment.

As I have a drivers licence and I can drive any tandem axel truck, crawlers or loaders I'd look for a job driving a dump truck or like equipment. Next a home.

As home is where it feels good to hang your hat I'd look for rooms to rent. As you would have money from working temp for the first week you might be able to rent one for a month. Two weeks driving a dump truck and you would have your $500 goal.
