It's not easy but it is very doable, I could manage to go out once or twice a week. Downside my diet was the same every week and consisted of canned fruit, lots of pasta and bread, and the occasional hamburger/tuna helper. If you cut down on all the BS it is amazing what you can get by on.
Exactly my point of view... If you really look at what you spend money on daily, you'll find lots and lots of waste.

Yup, you can see guys like that every week night on Judge Judy

I actually know a guy who does that and after the bruising starts happening they cut you back big time.. there's no way you could live on that.

It's 30-40$ per donation here and you can only do it 2x a week max. That's what one of my brother's friends does. Dude looks like a heroin addict with the bruises and shit on his arms.

Go to cage matches, use some kind of personality that makes people dislike you, & get beat up for money
