Well if anyone gets stuck and it's not looking good, apply for a job on an Island on the great barrier reef in Australia...

if you get an offer you can get a 6 month visa online, a $1000us plane trip will get you here and back, and your accomodation/food is provided, you need no phone,car,insurance,rent,groceries,gas,electricity,water etc, just pay for smokes and booze.

the wages are not high by any means but you can go weeks without spending a single cent if you are tight...

Obviously not everyone can do this and it is much more favorable living and working conditions towards younger people (most are under 35)and if you have a house full of stuff (which I know most of you do) it can be especially difficult but just reminding you all that there ARE options and some are awesome,

just gotta take the leap....
