Default How\'s this crazy idea for minimizing expenses while turning pro

Get a van/suv to live out of. (bed in the back, plus portable fridge/portable stove. and/or Foreman's grill.)

Sell everything else that won't fit in there. When it gets too cold or too hot, drive to a better climate. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

get a gym membership so you can stay healthy in between playing, and to take showers.

play at free wireless hotspots. many small coffee shops in major cities offer free wireless. (obviously, u gota have a laptop.)

expenses:
car insurance (if it's too expensive, drive to another city/state [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
gas
gym membership
coffee/tea + refills
cell phone
po box

You're monthly expenses will be around $400/month. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Just focus on winning, otherwise, get a job. If you can't make enough to afford $2k in living expenses, you can't afford to be a pro. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

PS - this will for sure increase your OOTM streak with regards to the sex life.

Although, if you get the motivational speaker business up and running on the side, that alone could cover your $400/month in expenses, and then your poker is pure profit...
