How much money does a homeless man make a day?

Typically, panhandling reaps about $20 per hour. Of course, it depends on the location and how many other panhandlers he's competing with to get your dollar. That homeless guy might be doing better than you are. The guys that wash your windscreen at the traffic lights make up to $150-$200 per hour, and then go and spend it on drugs. I generalise, of course. I'm sure there are many windscreen washers that aren't junkies, but a lot are.
