Santa Monica homeless man used to work as an accountant.

- When I walked up on Larry he had all his clothes out drying in the sun. He was extremely nice and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. He rearranged a few items on the grass so I could sit. When everything you own can fit into a medium-sized suitcase that bag becomes your life. Looking at life through the eyes of a homeless person everything changes. In Larry's mind, he eats like a millionaire although he is surviving of off food that has been thrown away. Larry has kind of a neat idea. He suggests that the city put little racks next to the trash cans where food, beverages, clothes, or anything valuable could be left for the homeless. A few times Larry talked about his drug use. Living on the streets is horrible and anyone would want to escape reality. I found it interesting that Larry was the second homeless accountant I spoke to that day. Larry speaks a few times about the homeless supporting each other, yet when I lived on the streets I found it to be the exact opposite.

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, theyíre on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as RUclips, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and canít ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nationís most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath ñ its founder ñ and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of Americaís homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

He don't look homeless, he looks like he's about to sell me a used car.
Ricky, lmao best comment
@Figueroa Rury Laquinta said nobody ever
Lmfaoooo
What does homeless look like tho?
It doesn't have a face...
Like depression ETC.
Ricky, Hi, There is an old saying, "Looks can be deceiving." one doesn't know until one really looks.
This guy missed his calling as an actor.
He can STILL be...Central Casting always needs background actors of medium size.
Self righteous, arrogant, seems to be intelligent....but narcissist.....
better call saul
Its not too late! They always need roles at Netflix
He is like a mix of Steve Buscemi and Al Pacino
This guy was homeless since '97 and maybe even earlier than that and he's still wandering around looking like he just became homeless a day ago?. Give this man a medal.
He said he’s been homeless for six months lol

This was 13 years ago

@@zanem499 Really? How do you know?
DK1019 I was wrong
No one should be homeless , hungry , without a place to live .
And not having a toothbrush/toothpaste
Agreed. But one has to take responsibility for their own journey. Realizing this was several years ago, but seems he could get a job right away. But doesn't seem like the kinda person who would be ok with working in a fast food place.
This guy, is homeless cause he is ok with it, and doesn't seem to have the drive to get out of it.
He would rather lay on a park, smoke, and paint his nails
If they don’t want to work or can’t work because of decisions they made, why should those who do want to work or make better decisions have the fruits of their labour distributed to the other group? That quite simply, is theft.
@j m This is Social Media numbnuts. Comments are part of it. And, as you even point out, I did say "seems"
Could be completely wrong, but basing the comment on what comes across in the video. Even he mentions being fired multiple times, and homeless a few times.
So just an opinion, nothing more, or less
The guy comes across, as somewhat coherent, and communicates well.
Dude is capable of working, whether pushing a broom, or flipping burgers, I doubt he'd be able to find a job as an accountant off the get.
And, to add to it, doesn't appear he is suffering too much
Yeah, probably a hard life etc.. and would take some time and energy and focus to get back up and running, but yeah, based on this 10 minutes, doesn't seem like he would want to.
Hes grown accustomed to this lifestyle. Its what he knows, and is comfortable in it.
Answer honestly, do you really see this guy accepting a job at McDonald's?
If so, he would've already done it
WHAT ARE YOU?! A COMMUNIST?!!?
Dude has a great aura about him. Just accepts his situation and keeps it pushing. Prayers up to him & his. 🙏🏾
he's a bum. get over it. He has no plans to rejoin the functioning of society. He is a parasite. If he had any family that cared for him he wouldn't be a homeless bum. He has no friends. just people who do drugs and alcohol with him. Shame such good hair is wasted on him.
guy seems to have the gift of talking without actually saying anything
Got that salesman trait to him lol
So does my bi-polar father. Who, when he does work, works in sales.
Thats acounting for you
Doesn't every American?

Workplace bullies are real. He must have been really good at his job because that's who they go after.
most competent professionals learn how to deal with workplace bullies. this guy is a parasite. he doesn't want to be part of society. why should society care about him. he could get a job dishwashing. he could be the bully there. why don't these white educated men work construction or something. I bet his mom would be sad to know he grew up to be a bum. he sees himself as a victim, and there for he doesn't have to go to work or get up early or pay the bills and .. no he just wants the protection of the cops food stamps welfare, and what ever he can get to avoid being the nobody he is.
I know workplace bully is real when you are too good at what you do.

Yes, its true most of account executives, junior and regular executives get big bonuses they do not want someone who really understand the information. For example, they used to ban ethical appraisers with no disciplinary actions meaning from their regulatory agency while hinting clients to use ones that had some. Same thing with tax preparers and/or other misrepresentation. Ones that would finesse the numbers so it would get it approved stays.
See there is no commission coming in if the deal was denied and/or a price hit the problem is that from a risk perspective sometimes companies go down because of this and/or have to do some complex synthetic CDOs swaps to get the assets 'off' their balance sheet.
Sad just show how for-profit bonuses can destroy a company without understanding the controls and/or the business details. Most of the executives I know do know about human error meaning intentional errors at the smaller scale is more about speed and bonus rather than quality at quota.
I have watched this a ridiculous number of times. I love this guy

Homelessness is a hard life. I'm surprised people are glamorizing this. It's not some cute hobo story. There's a lot of violence and trauma in the streets. You don't know from one day to the next if you're going to live or die.

Having been homeless myself I can totally relate to this guy , there’s more loyalty and trust between the homeless than most of the rest of society put together

@@ceb7894 not if u make partner in big4
From my experience as an accountant, In any company the accountants salaries are always the lowest. If you get fired for any reason then you will never get a job, the first thing employers think about you is that you got fired because you stole some money. Currently, everything is computerized, you can find many accounting systems that can do anything, booking, generating financial statements, calculating and paying taxes & doing financial analysis. So you can get anyone to do accounting job because it's just a data entry job.
@@sharkS2 not sure if we r doing the same thing, public is different
@@gunbroker3524 To be a CPA first you need master's degree, so this will cost you much of money plus the CPA exam fees. The average CPA gets around 60K a year so, do you think is it worth it? and the average CMA gets around 30K a year. And you have to take into account all the studying and the efforts needed to get such certifications. Finally, any accounting job is a risky job a small mistake and you will be behind bars.
@@ceb7894 Who's laughing at who in Finance? To get a good finance job you'd probably need a CFA which trust me is no joke, an MBA or masters in Finance or somesort, and you'd have to be ready to work 14-16 hours a day 6 days a week to get above 100k in investment banking or trading. Not to mention the competition is insane, and without connections, you have almost zero chance. Most Finance majors end up working as tellers or financial planners making $15 an hour here in Canada.

In The US at least it's hard for any single individual or party to take full control of the country, because of the system of checks in balances. This is the only reason you still have some freedoms.

I am an accountant. I'm currently 25 yrs old. I used to be depressed. I overcame depression in 2019. I was depressed for 7 years from 2012 to 2019. It started when my father died. The only person i had. So that shattered me. I lost my motivation to live. I fucked up my studies.i used to be an excellent student. But i graduated anyway. Then i fucked up my jobs as well. Because i didn't see the point of living. My worst year was 2018. I almost killed myself. I STOPPED working for 1 year because depression consumed me. I gave up. I used to watch this videos from mark while i was depressed. So i thought that if i don't kill myself, i will end up like them. So i'd rather kill myself. But thankfully,i overcame depression. Because of these videos from mark, i learned that i have to be kinder to homeless people and try to help them as much as possible. Before, these videos used to make me feel sorry for myself, but now i use this as motivation to become better and as a reminder that we are one bad day away from becoming like them so we should be kind to them and help them.

Managing your money in your early years is important. People often want to rush out and start living it up, or sharing with everybody. Nothing wrong with sharing, but also have plans for your future at the same time. Try and buy a house and pay it off as soon at you can. That was what I did. I had three jobs at one time, and was barely getting any sleep. And I did any type of job I could find. I manage to pay off my mortgage in less than six years. After that, life got a lot easier, and no fear of losing my home, or becoming homeless. Those six years were hell. But well worth it. Now I just pay HOA fees and utilities each month.
3 jobs is better than none. Managing money is nothing more than having enough to eat and pay rent for many of us.
Videos of the past really??
That's great until you find out you're married to a mentally ill person who's secretly gotten you into serious debt and is constantly playing mind games with you making you suicidal to where you can't make rational decisions consistently. You wake up smiling because you have $1k in a secret account and then discover they've ran up half a million dollars in loans and credit cards in your name without your approval and you come home from work and they're having sex with different women every night and let's see.

I feel rather elated listening to Larry talk. Thank you Larry your a great guy ☘️👍🙏
watching these videos to keep my life in perspective.
he's over 60 and has more hair than most people i know who are in their 30s.
Stress free
jose cisneros I doubt he’s feeling less stress
Think about it...when was the last time you saw a bald homeless person
Over 70 now this was uploaded in November 2008 we're almost in 2020
now what nah he died already
I love that he calls throwing a decent Picnic with his friends a party. That’s fantastic.
Party means there is crack involved
The man is a genius with words !
Our tax dollars at work
What a great guy, and He is honest. Blessings.
Wow this guy is so mesmerising I could listen to him talk all day, such an interesting character
This was hard to see. He seems perfectly capable of taking care of himself but something keeps holding him down
drugs and alcohol bro. + he is getting used to that life and it sucks
Well bankruptcy is built into our monetary system as the shaky foundation on which a lot of "free market" control mechanisms have been put into action, e.g OPEC, WTO and many of the post 1980's deals ending in FTA. I hope that in a thousand years, humanity will look back on our time as the socio-economic dark age that it is.
The church is IMF + World and central banks, the gospel is liberty and individuality and the end result is an economy so narrowly controlled and passed through so few conglomerates it supersedes Stalin's wettest dreams. My point is that guys like this are inevitable in our current society. He is a systemic outcome yet people are trained to point at him and kick downwards, usually by treating the onset of abuse as the cause of the misery, strapping the horse behind the carriage.
@@davidfonetti2159 he said he hardly uses drugs and alcohol - this was in the peak of the recession, he probably lost everything as many others did.
He looks vulnerable to drugs and alcohol. I hope he's okay. Listening to him talk to you about food really made me hungry. Good video from Sacramento
He comes across as a lifestyle homeless person. How he talks about his homeless friends and how he likes smoking weed with them. He isn't the saddest case.
Larry sounds like he has been homeless since may... of 1986.
ollopa1 lol
He might not have a solid grasp of time. That 6 months might of been the last 2 yrs. Like his homie Glen and Carlos.
I almost pissed laughing so fucking hard at this comment!! Since May of 1986!!! Hilarious
lmfao! That made me laugh out loud.
Yah, that suits around Miami vice era.
Man when he said ten minutes and he says “really” it’s such a sad moment
He’s on point. Hostile work environments are real but karma always gets the last laugh. I hope he’s doing well now
Hostile work environments are so common in CPA firms. I hope the man is doing better
I do know what it's like the struggle at work, life can be an absolute bitch, to anyone out there that's suffering, but it's much better to be a victim who does right by him/herself than to become both a victim and a tragic story.
I bet he died of liver failure
Karma doesn't always get the last laugh, that's simply what people who want to feel better about something say. History is full of mean, careless people who lived fruitful lives.
@@ojames1983that’s so true.
I love his damn straight forward attitude and personality. 😎🤙
for real me too, down to earth af
New Yorker. 🌼
Watching these videos makes me grateful for the simple things that I have
Monjit Chetia Watching this makes me want to become a drug addict so I can be like my role model in this video.
@@tonyhuynh2797 😂😂
If people have a place to live and food it is wonderful. Stories like these make me grateful.
WOW wow wow,,,, this guy Larry expresses himself very eloquently and has a very positive attitude. He makes homelessness seem so enchanting
seems like a good lad, wherever you are james i hope you found happiness
This guy makes being homeless look cool he dresses nicely,looks neat ,carries a good suitcase and apparently eats better than a millionaire he basically has fun better than I do 😂😂 big up from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
American homeless = africa middle class?
@@williamkelly5689 that is very disrespectful homless cant equal middle class anywhere
@@williamkelly5689 hahahaha
no lying. a better general country means better life even for the homeless.
@@williamkelly5689 upper class 💀
This dude enjoys being homeless. He's found camaraderie and has figured out how to survive.
Or he's projecting.
@@cl8804 what do you mean?
in my own experience here in Ireland, the homeless are the most polite people you could meet. as he says, there is a real sense of solidarity between people. most of my neighbous couldn"t care if I dropped dead. food for thought. be well.
And taking money from the state to buy weed. Fuck him.
@eb Ka Not that simple. Perhaps if he wasn't taking money from the productive people in order to go get stoned, but really he is nothing more than a useless leech.
This is *far* better than the RUclips Shorts nowadays where they play sad music and record themselves giving someone a thousand dollars just for views.
Wow mark i did not realize how long you have been doing this. Incredible. I hope this man is doing well 15 years later
Wow, this guy has the gift of conversation!
Elizabeth Orozco eh
The dude is so smart he spent time explaining a water spill in his suitcase while on a time crunch. Love you and hope you are doing ok.
Smart bcz he gave away very little ..?
Very enlightening... a different approach to the homeless situation...
There's so much wealth in society yet homelessness has grown to an unprecedented level. The rich have never been richer, but still, people talk like homeless people deserve to be homeless. Lack of empathy is astounding.
He seems to enjoy the lifestyle...and admits to being a hippie and also admits to making continuous poor choices...smoking pot etc when money is better used on more pressing matters...seems like a nice guy but he made his own bed imo. He also says he eats like a millionaire so hes not motivated to really push on to greener pastures...imo
He's fine if he wanted to work he could and he could have a home if he wanted to. To each his own.
It's the GOP way! More for the Wealthy and less for all the American working-class Stiffs! They won't be content until they have every last dime. Yet so many blue collar voters continue to support and vote for them. Makes no sense at all. They don't represent you. You have no representation. Get it Vern? And Karen? 😃😀
He seemed very honest and giving, I wish the best for him.
I am so stupid....those videos scare the shit out of me, as this can happen to many of us so easily, and yet I find it interesting and keep watching it.
Abigame agree same here
Same
The gaming Turnip i was just about to comment this :/ same
nikto45 find a other job? I work warehouse and that's pretty easy to find..idk I didn't go to school and can find a decent paying job working warehouse
become a nurse and u r set
He is very positive for a homeless man. Does not feel sorry for himself, did not ask for any favors, offers suggestions. I hope he does good in the future.
We were all told growing up that being an accountant was the steadiest job you could have.
Addictions will kick you out of the best and steady jobs.
Who’s We??
Any job can make you survive IF you plan for the rainy days. It is obvious this man is a play boy. Got a good job and what? Never put money away for saving. Never think about what is he going to drop if bad days come. That's the main reason he becomes homeless today. He is a lesson. I thank him and many like him as a reminder for me to be always on guard, never underestimate what a rainy day can do damage to me. Sad.
There's more to the story, especially this guy. Realizing this was several years ago. But he's coherent, seems somewhat stable.. but doesn't seem like the kinda guy who would be ok with flipping burgers or sweeping floors.
Homeless twice? Fired multiple times? This guy put himself where he is at, and he seems ok with it. Just waiting for someone to give him 10 Grand
It no doubt is.
“What are you doing for your birthday?”
“Im getting money on Wednesday and I’m gonna spend a lot of it on marijuana to be honest with you.”
gotta appreciate his honesty
I dont understand how anyone can spend money on herb. Grow yer own.
@@ambriadaniels-dovolis7496 It's possible just not in the heart of the city.

@@Exedus20 i wish it was legal here
@@ps5056 its not legal to grow in my city but I do it anyway and they dont bother me. Its California and a mexican neighborhood, people mind their own business here.
62 holy shit this guy looks like in his late 40's, reminds me of a Simpsons character, dude is very interesting
Is this where Gill ended up in Springfield?
He still got lot of hair with no gray hair, that helps him look younger
Yeah about as interesting as a cockroach! God Bless him.😑
Yea! I was thinking rhat also! He looks like a salesman or a lawyer from the Simpsons lol
This was in 08
He is so charismatic
So this was 13 years ago! I hope he's still doing well somewhere
Wtf...this video is so damn clear and HD that I was in utter disbelief that this was filmed in 2008
Hard to believe iPhone is older than this eh, 10 years prior to this we all had cube tvs
This channel is seriously making me want to switch careers to help out the mentally ill via social work. Most of our systems are broken but I'm only 30 and absolutely miserable in corporate America--and I don't even make good money either! Would need to get a masters and get licensed but man if I could just help one person a month (legitimately) that would make my life so much better
If you think you need education to help others you’re not gonna help nobody. All due respect
It’s making me want to rent my house out and take a bus somewhere with a backpack
ya beware the education financial complex
@@totoroid You do
It's sad to see such a cool, well-spoken gentleman fall by the wayside. I really hope someone helps him with getting his business started. I hope he's doing much better now.
I find it bizarre that I am just now watching this. Finding this video 14 years later after it’s been published. Bizarre.
Same. It just came up in my recommended
