H< m T o Avoid Paying Rent And Still Have A Place To Live
Rent does more to empty the pocketbook than any other single expense
except perhaps medical bills For it reoccurs on a monthly, or sometimes
even a weekly basis, and takes the largest share of your income And for
what? A sometimes leaky roof over your head, or a house or apartment
that the landlord doesn't take much interest in fixing up through gieed, or
txrcause he or sfie thinks that if the plate is repaired, some present or future
tenants might damage it
So. after you've paid your rent, you have nothing lasting to show for it.
and if you miss a time or two. you and your possessions will be out in the
street So why torture yourself this way? Just find a way to live rent free
and you II be much better off
home protected from vandalism However, sometimes a place in the city
needs someone to look after it If you look around, sometimes you can get
an apartment with utilities out of the deal, perhaps |ust for staying there at
night or maybe living there so people know that someone is around most of
the time even though you might be allowed to work at your regular job or
come and go as you wish
Last year I needed to go to a large city to get medical treatment, so I
found a free guest house conveniently located and got to live there just
because the lady of the house was an alcoholic and oflen drank to excess
and passed out, so the husband wanted someone on the premises while he
worked, just to be there is case of emergency
