What do people do when the are sooo bored and broke?

[wonderbunny]

I'm out of $$$funds and losing my mind I'm so bored. Any suggestions. Television overrated for me so from there I"m out of ideas. I need a kickstart. I'm borderline tearful, is a horrible feeling.

They make a complete and drastic change with their lives.

You need to think of something, quickly.

I'm a single mother who smokes.... Apparently there's a disconnect here somewhere. I'll just keep looking for work and pray alot, its the best I can do.

Go to the library and get "Pompei"....it's excellent.

[shamaho]

going to the library is a good idea, as is going to the mall....anywhere you'll start interacting with people. you never know who you'll run into and start talking to....that's how ideas come about - open yourself up to the possibilities....! don't sit on your couch watching TV - you'll only stagnate longer and get more discouraged.

go to the beach and play in the sand.............it's free and great fun!!!!,.........(lol....obviously being near the sea helps....... )

I draw, paint or go to the cemetary for a quiet walk (and ultimately get lost!).

I hate television so that's an easy one to avoid; I do get movies at the library and spend a lot of time in book stores 'shopping'. I have people I adore at local shops and see them often. But... without money, its tough when you want to shower someone with something 'special' anything over a $2.00 is expensive. How poor am I eeek! Paying jobs are great when you have one. Missionary work is an adjustment for me.

I literally have NO money at the moment, but I have managed to occupy myself for the last 2 days. I'm learning to play the guitar.

Bake a cake, read a book, do some cleaning (trust me, it's not as boring as it sounds - I cleaned my room last night, and I'm really proud of how it looks now), go for a walk - walking is free. Put some music on and dance. I love to jump around my room doing air guitar. No one's going to judge you. Music is a lifesaver for me most of the time!!

You say you smoke? Maybe try to cut down, then you might have a little more cash to spend on other things...?

[shamaho]

very eloquently expressed, cablegal.....bravo! cigs are evil.

[wonderbunny]

Your right about the smokes, I've been trying to quit for a while; unfortunately with the stress (poor excuse I know) my hands are bored too. They are expensive, so is gas. Every classified has fax your resume to.... I"m tired of applying for work. I work so much better from home because I sleep weird. Wide awake at night and sleepy during the day. I'm a mess.

[shamaho]

i know the feeling of 'being a mess', but you'll figure it out eventually. i've been without a "regular job" for four and a half years, and my motto has become "if there's no job out there for you, make one for yourself"....still working out the details on that though! and everyone has a vice, myself included....i just hate to see what cigarettes do to people. but i guess the same could be said about fast food and booze.

[carreypunkrawker]

try sleeping. it's great!

[shamaho]

true enough....but skip the cigs, go easy on the fast food, finish it off with some booze, and you'll have a prolonged pleasurable snooze.....ha ha.

wow, that rhymes....didn't even plan that one either....

Bunny, my dear Bunny. Cigarettes are ultimately a massive waste of money. If you want to smoke, if you have to smoke, smoke Natural Tobacco. Like Blender's Gold Rich Vanilla. Reg. ciggs are a mere waste of money and worse on you.... Wrap it up, smoke it in a pipe. And read some of the books I recommended. Go to your local library and check out "Kingdom of Fear." It's a very insightful book and you will thank me after you read it. Cheers.
