Nope. I've been homeless once. It was the worst experience in my life. I lived off of scraps but I never asked for spare change. I washed my clothes in public gyms, took my bath there aswell. Slept in corners of libraries. I got a job at a junkshop and worked my way up from there until I got to where I am.
However, things have not been too kind on my end lately. I might be homeless again anytime soon.
