About how much do homeless people make a day?

Like an actual number or website. Don't be an idiot.

    It depends. If they are strictly asking for money sitting on a sidewalk, it is about $10-15.

    If they are cleaning windshields or holding doors, it can be a bit more.

    It also depends of the weather and people's generosity. Also, some people give food rather than cash because they do not want their donation turned into drugs and alcohol.

    Finally, if they choose to do illegal things, they might be able to make a bit more (prostitution or stealing), but it still is not enough to live off of.

    Some might qualify for some social assistance, but it is often not enough to get a room and live off of.

    Hope that helps.

    Some of them make thousands of dollars a day, it just depends on the location they are begging from and how good they are at it. There are schools now that teach people how to beg for money. They teach them to go to airports and pretend cry and say you just want to go home, but someone stole your purse and someone will buy them a plane ticket to their next destination. TMZ was following some "homeless" people for a while and the homeless people were showing how much money the celebrities gave them. You would be surprised at how well some homeless people live, they have really nice homes.

    Good question. I'm guessing...hmm... $25-100? Depending on how many hours? Hmm.
