ok i know alot of these answers can be conflicting but honestly i have had many bettas and all of them have been in small bowls with out filters and heater, and all my bettas have been fine! ur betta is just begging for food, thats all but be careful, dont overfeed! as long as you clean the bowl often ur fishy should be fine, good luck!
my betta fish will point his nose to his food container,and shake his tail

I would say that is his way of begging. Its good you saved him, but unfortunately he does need a tank, with a heater and filter. Bettas need to be in 76-82 degree water, and need to have at least 2.5 gallons.
I understand about not having money, I think the whole country understands that
You can try craigslist in your area. I see fish tanks all the time for free, or for real cheap. Right now, I would take what I could get; meaning if they don't have a filter or heater then dont worry about it, at least get the tank. Get your whole set up in pieces if you need to. But do try to keep his temperature between those degrees.

Yes my betta stays to the left of his tank, that's where the food is and he also heads straight to the top of the tank when I come XD Also 2 gallon bowls do work... but your betta won't be very happy in it, get a him a 5+ gallon tank and I recommend doing a 50-100% water change every week if you don't have a filter.
