He could always apply for a minimum wage job. It isn't much, but it's better than nothing...

He could always doorknock around the neighbourhood and do odd jobs such as weeding gardens, babysitting, washing cars etc., to earn some pocket money. He doesn't need any special skills for that; just common sense and be able to talk to people. As he is walking it won't be easy, especially on a hot day, but worth the effort, and at least a lot cheaper. It may not be much, but it's better than doing nothing at all.
I used to do it when I was a teenager and I also had a paper round so I speak from experience.

Volunteer work and temporary welfare assistance is also an option.

That's actually illegal here in North Carolina. Falls under the solicitation laws. "Preachers" and other folks working for a church can;t do it either but that's pretty much overlooked.

As he thought about moving to a different city ? Sometimes you have to go to extremes even to get a minimum wage job.
Thats what the countdown is for in my sig. I'm 33 at the end of that countdown. Nothing left to lose but nothing on paper to say I can actually do anything, even though I worked on different things in life.
So at the end of the countdown I have to decide if sticking to my home city is worth sticking around for. Or do I get off my arse and move north or south.
People have to move thousands of miles away or even different countries just to get underpaid cleaning jobs. I think I could at least try a different city.
So ask your friend if he has thought of that.

So true. I live in SF bay and its too expensive out here. I had to move to the valley. Got a nice 2br apartment for $650.
The same apartment in the bay would run for about $1200-1400funk

Bumfights is a film series produced by Indecline Films. The videos feature teenagers, homeless men (most notably Rufus Hannah and Donnie Brennan) in the San Diego, San Francisco and Las Vegas metropolitan areas fighting and attempting amateur stunts in exchange for money, alcohol, and other incentives

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, view of forrest and sea :) About 100 square meters. Rent: 400 USD
Not bad to live in Denmark :D

PS: We do however pay up to 70% income tax depending on income. But then again we have free medicare, education etc etc even prisoners have cable, 3 courses a day. Focked up world come to think of it
