Not all of us live in the suburbs/midwest. I live in a 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 170". I spent about 10K on the interior after buying the vehicle.

I have a parking space I rent for $1100 a year that I can plug into for electricity, in an air conditioned parking garage as well as free WiFi.

I have peers that pay $800-1K for a room not much bigger than my Sprinters' interior. To get a full apartment they'd need to shell out $3K+/mo, Bay Area btw...

This van meme is just that. A meme.

You cannot take a shit, or a shower, or whatever you're going to do without it taking a lot of time. Also 0 infrastructure.

House
> Get up
> Brush teeth, take a shit, shower, cook eggs, go to work

Van
> Get up
> Put your clothes in bag, drive to nearest truck stop. Get your #, get a shower, brush teeth. Avoid being raped.
> Go to campsite, start a fire, cook eggs.
> Wash dishes with mud
> Get shit on your clothes, have to change
> Finish with work. Have to go to laundry mat because you splashed mud on your dress shirt that morning.

Don't get me wrong - I have done my share of hoboing it and it's great if you have nothing better to do but absolutely 0 value in trying to get ahead.

I have a rental property - I live in the back with a single room (tiny kitchenette) & bathroom. My utilities are expenses out - I live for free & mow the yard / deal with the shit.

when i was a kid i used to live in a car with my family, until i was 21, i realize that we where poor, im not very smart.

it wasnt so bad, but if you decide to do this, and you have kids, try not to fucck at night when the kids are sleeping, because you mht wake them up.

and if you
