Hobo begging

So I decided to try living on the streets for a while to amuse myself while this long exciting world cup was going on. Plus if you beg outside the good electronic stores you can watch the giant plasma TVs. Well how much money can you make begging? It seems that if you are an excellent 'pan-handler' you could make a few hundred dollars a day. But if you were just a regular hobo, like me, you'd probably make about $5 and a few vouchers for car washes and stuff. If this sounds like the life for you then go for it, and stop hassling me so I can get back to sleep.
