A Hobo Does Not Have to Live Like a Bum
There is no pride in living like a bum.
HOBO:
“Hobos differentiate themselves as travelers who are homeless and willing to do work, whereas a tramp travels but will not work and a bum does neither.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo
I am for sure homeless…
I am for sure looking for cheap places to live.
I continuously rattle the cage on how to get good values, price has close to nothing to do with value, if it did, then renting a room would be easy. I cannot pay more and get a good room; it does not work that way. YOU cannot pay more and get the best room; it is not the way the world works.

I have had three people comment on the price I paid for rooms lately, these are friends and comrades, and they do not get it. I would pay 100 U.S. Dollars per night if I deemed that a good value, highly unlikely, yet possible.
A good value for a room is this, it is the price you would pay and not feel regrets if you lived there for three months, always saying to yourself, I got a good deal.
It is soul-searching process, a gut feeling, an idea that I got the best deal for the room, I got my moneys worth.
I have never and will never try to be a mooch, I do not try to take advantage of people, I do not try to live free. I pay my way, I do know this, and it is hard to say a 3-dollar room is a bad value; it is easy to see that most rooms over 3 are not good values.
However, there are tons or room on the planet from 0-15 that are good values, however when you get about that, it is touch and go.
Please reader, I try to ignore you, grow up, a good room is good value, what you pay is not the problem, this is your budget, a bum has no money, a Hobo will work and could easily pay, but a lot smarter than a tourist who could not find a good value if they had it sitting on their lap. I want people to be savvy, smart, think, open their brains and live the good life, not squandering their money, their time, and their lives.
I will live in any room, at any price, if it is a good value, not so easy to figure out, but if you keep it under 15 on planet earth, you probably are there.

Andy,I appriciate your commitment to value for your money, that's what always makes reading your posts so interesting to me. I wish more travelers out there would do the same, then we wouldn't have such a horrible inflation rate on tourist destinations. Of course, if everyone were as good as you are, then we wouldn't have 'tourist' at all.
