What if you were homeless, friendless, and only had $25 and the clothes on your back. Could you get an apartment, a vehicle, and $5,000 in the bank in less than a year? Adam Shepard, a college graduate and native of Raleigh, spent 10 months in Charleston South Carolina proving that it's not that hard to survive (and thrive) in America.
Yes, I remember reading that post -- holy shit two years ago. I should have referenced it. Thanks for reminding me.
There's also a 2005 documentary film called Reveral of Fortune that basically gives a homeless man $100,000 via a trash can. It doesn't really end well for him.
