So I got locked up for selling bud on the beach. Miami is super strict and they charged me with a felony, I had to do 3 weeks in county jail. They eventually let me out and then dropped it to a misdemeanor at court and gave me one day of probation.

So I got out and had no bud or money, (the police took it) and had nowhere to stay. However, I had 15 body oils on me that I was selling that the police didn't really care about me selling so I got those back. I went out first day and sold them for 5 a piece and made like 70 bucks. Went to my homeboys house and crashed on the couch that night.

Next day I took that 70 and went and got 4 of the 12 dollar bottles of oil. Those make like 22 oils each so that's 88 oils right there. I went out the next day on South Beach and sold like half of them and collected like 2 hundred something.

Found this hostel on the beach that's cool af and has a cool party vibe called the Sobe Hostel. I paid 95 bucks and got 3 nights! Breakfast and dinner included, shower, your bed is in a dorm but it's very chill, quiet and has A.C.. I sold the rest of what I had and got more merch and now I'm sitting on like 75 oils and have 125 in my pocket and a place to stay for the next 2 nights. God is good

I wish I lived on a beach in Miami. Alas, I will never make that kind of money. San Diego would also be nice.

Sell all of these oils by Saturday night (very do-able, it's the weekend) then take that 375 and put it with whatever money i still got from this 125. I probably won't spend much of it, I have some smoke and I have like 170 in food stamps because my card just keeps uploading even though I applied like 8 months ago and it was in Maryland lol.

So my expenses are covered and I can have potentially 450-500 in my pocket by Saturday. Then I can get more oils and another room for a few nights and do the same thing again. Eventually I'll have enough money saved to get a room for rent or studio in like Over town or Wynwood.

I've also been applying for server positions because I'm great with people and peak season is coming and servers make a shit ton of tips, like hundreds in a shift potentially. So I can even do that part time and still sell oils on the beach.

I also am doing stand up comedy at night, the Miami comedy scene isn't super popping but it's pretty chill and I like the comics here.

So I'm just at a very good space in my life right now. It was a big risk coming out here with no plan and I made some mistakes but things are a falling into place

Tbh it's kind if a black people thing. People that don't like cologne or perfume usually wear oils. It's in a small vial with a rolly ball at the top and you apply it to your skin.

They smell really good and once I get it in someone's hand and they like the pitch and they like me I tell them "ask me how much" and now they're holding the product, smelling it, AND asking me the price.

I tell them "Just 5 bucks, if you wanna show some love/suppport" They usually have just spent a bunch of money on other stuff because theyre on south beach so they just buy it. Plus tbh I'm really experienced with sales I know how to close people and use lines to make them laugh which usually gets them to buy

It's not fraud, they give you 6 months of food stamps. My card uploaded 2 extra months, I can't really help that

I hope you're safe. Do you ever feel like somebody may mug you?


Nah, I don't attract things like that I have a very positive vibe. Plus it's South Beach, there's cops all over the place and everyone is just vacationing and vibing

I was literally thinking about you just yesterday, goldenBoi, wondering how life was going for you in Miami.

Sorry to hear about the little setback, but glad you're doing okay now.

**edit: Nevermind you answered what the oils were above

Im pretty sure its still considered fraudulent to spend government funds when you know they were distributed in error. Also, arent you required to be a Maryland resident to receive food stamps from the state?

I qualify for food stamps here in Miami bro, I'm homeless. I just haven't applied because I'm still receiving them from Maryland. Going and applying now would give me TWO food stamp cards with money on them, now that would be fraudulent.

Why do people on CE always go out of their way to try to make people look bad? Then you even make a little passive aggressive comment "Not that you care but..." like dude, stfu lol

i'm with ya on the fraud thing but if one looks at it. TC barely has an income he makes in a month to be kicked off from where he is now or maryland. though if you want to call the office and complain be my guest but beware it's going to be hard to figure out his name and shit to report the findings.

I love how this guy is in a less than ideal situation, yet still has a positive attitude and is doing what he can to improve it. And the usual bitterbeards are still shitting on him and trying to tear him down.

Stay classy.

Lmao, youre not a resident of Maryland yet youre still spending their food stamp funds past when you were supposed to stop receiving them at all. Yes, if you doubled down and got them in Miami right now that would be clear cut fraud, but I think what youre doing currently still probably qualifies as such since you havent lived in Maryland for a while. The best thing to do would be to notify the Maryland program that youre not living there anymore and stop using their food stamps, and apply for new benefits in Florida.

And chill out about the probably wont care comment. I only say that because if you got popped for selling weed to random strangers on the beach you probably dont give a fuck about whether youre committing welfare fraud or not. I just thought it might be nice for you to have a heads up in case you werent aware.
