Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

    Out of curiosity, how would a homeless person in your country accomplish the same things?

      Not the same person but where I am there are shelters and community centers that offer these things for free. The facilities are not in as good condition as a gym membership though.

        We have tons of shelters in the US too. Talk to any homeless person though and they’ll tell you they don’t use the shelter because it either: forces them to not use drugs, splits up a family, has lots of sexual assaults going on, or has more health related problems than it’s worth.

          last time i took a shower at a homeless shelter:
          you have to hand all your stuff to a guy at a window, he puts it in a bag, then you go to a medium sized room with several shower heads spraying towards the middle…
          so you don’t just get your shower, you get the water bouncing off a dozen naked homeless guys…
          the water is a tepid, narrow, painful jet…
          i caught scabies and athletes foot…

          i’ve taken one other one at a shelter in another city and state and it was identical…

          gym is way better, otherwise i’d rather take a bird bath in a random bathroom sink…
