After the other weekend in New York City, and seeing a plethora of different panhandlers during my walks through Times Square, and Grand Central Station... I started to wonder in all seriousness. How much do panhandlers really make?
When I lived in North Carolina back in 2005 there were a ton of them on the street corners of almost all the major intersections. Most Vietnam era veterans, and some looked far more well off than others. I mean, who begs for money on the corner with a Rolex, and some brand new brand name sneakers. Kind of a panhandling fail right?
