The Pros And Cons Of Not Having Money While Studying Abroad In Rome For A Short Period Of Time Because You Are Waiting For Your Permanent Card To Come In The Mail

Most would see having no money as an amazingly overwhelming list of cons, but I see more pros than cons. Here is my list of cons.

The cons of not having money while studying abroad in Rome for a short period of time because you are waiting for your permanent card to come in the mail are as follows: the ladies will now be scarce due to the fact that there is no gold for the gold digging girls to dig up; the whiskey will not flow freely on any given night; and having a kebab becomes a foolish dream.

Here is my list of pros.

The pros of not having money while studying abroad in Rome for a short period of time because you are waiting for your permanent card to come in the mail are as follows: due to the lack of food there will be weight loss which is necessary with beach season being just around the corner;  there will be no more painfully acting interested in a girl because it is in fact a lost cause with the wallet being as thin as it is, gold diggers; I can now see who my true friends are in the event that a sudden need for money does arise, I can now focus on school; I can now learn to appreciate the simple things in life such as looking out my window because that is all I can afford to do; I can now sit down with my empty jar and become the greatest money making hobo in history like I’ve always hoped to become; Once I rise up from the ashes I can get on Oprah for the best selling book I’ve always needed motivation to write; I can practice my bartering skills; I can become an expert pigeon hunter, they’re very fat here; I can become a struggling painter, my art will take on more purpose now that I have a life struggle; and I no longer have to shower, shave, or brush my teeth, which is every boy’s dream growing up. 

It is obvious that this hobo experience will be priceless (due to the fact that it doesn't cost money to be a hobo).
