Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That's going to heavily depend on location, resources/money, and health. The very issues at hand here. Many people would love to just leave, they don't because they lack even a viable destination. And it's not great to travel on foot or be homeless when it's freezing outside.
Intentional communities are probably a more realistic thing in the US, but even then if it were such an effective option it seems like less people would be homeless. The closest one to me has no info on living costs/expectations and a $50 fee for a "tour" (so it likely is not a saving option for those who can barely maintain themselves).
EDIT: Backpacking/military might make more sense for those that live in Europe. Similarly, the monk thing is going to depend on beliefs and allowed/expected lifestyle, so I don't expect that to be viable for most either.
