Would you be homeless for 5 years if you got $1Bn afterward?

My answer is yes but obviously easier said than done

$1 B is a lot. There’s additional questions here that make this more complicated though:

Can you talk to your friends? Cause that’s really a huge part of the homeless problem. Most people would have somewhere they could go, or for example does that mean you could never sleep over at a significant others house? Additionally, can you go to jail? 
 

The worst part of being homeless is generally being shunned by society and not sleeping I’ve been told. If you weren’t shunned by society and were able to find more remote locations to sleep you should be fine. Also, how do you define a job? If I played guitar on the street to up my tips does that count? Resold or traded items? I think this question needs to be refined.

Are you dense? Of course. Just beg for enough change or mug other homeless folks then take a bus to Florida or California. Even if you have to stay in NYC as part of the deal, it's not that fuckin difficult to survive homeless in America by any stretch. Sure you won't be comfortable by any means, but for the equivalent of $200m a year after the fact you can pump me full of the H juice while we're at it to make it extra hard mode. I'll figure out how to kick it with my newfound fortune after the fact or go down in a blazing glory while setting up my family to live like kings for the rest of their days. Hell just attack people in NYC or blatantly steal so you're put in prison for most of that time, 3 hots and a cot, and then $1B in cash after you get out. What kind of sheltered turd thinks this is somehow the ultimate test of human resolve? lmfao

Just borrow $100K per year against your future wealth, buy yourself the most comfortable tent and equipment on the market and move to a nice warm state lmao

Being homeless in NYC is a fucking breeze. There are so many social programs available to take advantage of. Yeah, I'd absolutely do this.

You'd get $1Bn in tax-free cash afterward. Rules are you have to live on the street as a homeless person in NYC and cannot work any job or receive any handouts other than what you can get from people on the street. You can stay in shelters if that's available like any other homeless person. You can quit at any time, but if you don't make the full 5 years 100%, you don't get any money and have to deal with the fallout of being homeless and jobless for however long you were. 

I don't think I could do it. 

Sir, there are other ways to make the amount of $$$, so flat out no. The response is not just about me but three generations of my family before I came along. Something money cannot just buy. I do not expect most people to understand my response.

To be honest I’m afraid I couldn’t handle 5 years and I would start doing heroin or some doodoo shit which would leave me scarred for life.

I’d do one year for less money tho. Even 10M I think I’d do.
