Question

How close are you to being a tramp? All you need to do is lose your job and not be able to get a new one.?

Answer 1

I recently became unexpectedly unemployed (48 State truck driver) and it took a week of intensive phoning to get a BETTER job.

As for tramps, that's very different from being homeless.  Hobos rode the rails in the 1930s and I must assume there are still "tramps".  But either there is a media conspiracy to keep us ignorant of alternate cultures or tramps have evolved cryptozoic methods.  For all we know, there may be a highly developed system of travel and communication, a whole subculture of "tramps" in America.  I'm not counting the "snowbirds" who live in motor homes and follow the seasons, although that is a form of "tramp".  Kind of a toss-up there between insane real estate prices and insane fuel prices.  Lots of retired folks doing that.

Answer 2

Me personally? not to close.  But the american society will be soon if we don't start building some type of industry.

Answer 3

For a number of reasons I retired at age twenty. I embraced poverty and have never been in want of anything because of friends. Sir, you've overlooked friends as a source of wealth.

Answer 4

That is true for many people but not for me. I am my own boss, so I will not fire myself, will I? I inherited much money from my father too, so I need not work for anyone else.

Answer 5

i guess it depends on your looks. beautiful ppl can find jobs easily.

Answer 6

"That's why the lady is a tramp".....Frank Sinatra...lol...

Answer 7

Until the world stops eating I am safe....Chef :)

Answer 8

By that definition I am very close to being a tramp. I am a temp who is currently getting only limited work. I am more close to being an actual hobo though as they are itinerant 'temps' of no fixed abode.

Answer 9

It's obvious you don't know the meaning of the word "tramp."  It has absolutely NOTHING to do with being unemployed.

Answer 10

your sole criterion for being a tramp is being unemployed?

there were a helluva lot of tramps in the 80s then

Answer 11

Very true I suppose but I think I'd be able to get a family member or friend to help support me....or just the government nowadays!

Answer 12

Very close then if you consider I live at work. Omg you've depressed me my life is hanging on a thread. Really should get on with my report and stop wasting time on here.

Answer 13
