Things you've done when you've had no money.Apart from the usual survival rations of beans, white bread and Doll Noodles™, we've all done things to compensate for having no money. Personally I spent 6 months barefoot to save on the cost of shoes. What pathetic things have you done when the cash ran out?

In an arcade I used to runthere were always poor kids with no lives who wanted to play the games, but couldn't afford the tokens. So they'd endlessly go from machine to machine, checking the return slots and the floors for stray coins.
Eventually I put them to work, letting them sweep up, wipe the windows, or get stuff from the neighboring shops for me in exchange for a couple dollars' worth of free games.
I often sat back reading "Oliver Twist" while they were doing my dirty work. It seemed appropriate.
