That's a $319 laptop (http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-G505-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp/...) and, while I can see the brand of the bike, that's likely a less than $150 bike when it was brand new. Pit bulls/boxers are basically free at any dog shelter. The average rent price of apartments in Pensacola Fl (where he lives) is $819/month, and the cheapest apartment I could find was $600/month, with proof of income and first and last month's rent paid in advance ($1200.) I bet they probably won't take his bitcoin blockchain as proof of income for that apartment.

So, he has spent less than 1/3rd of what he'd need for an apartment on 2 items that provide him income, entertainment and transportation and you're complaining that he doesn't "look homeless enough."

EDIT: the "energy drink" in one picture is a monster branded water bottle, but in another picture there are clearly cans of Monster on the bench.

True but you have to feed them.

You don't have to feed them society-approved dog food. Some people live on dumpster-diving; it's much easier to imagine a dog owner helping the dog do that. In an area with the right kind of restaurants, this would take about ten minutes of effort once a day.
