Well. bad news guys. I'm gonna have to leave my neet cave. Some shit has come up and now i have to get a fucking job and either become a rent cuck or buy a neet van to live in. Which should i do? I really don't want to pay the rent jew just for a shitty apartment to live in. I figure i should just live in a van until i have enough money saved from wage cucking to buy my own house.

Get the van OP. It will force you to keep busy becuase you will not want to lounge around in the van all day. The rent jew can go kike himself

my parents started watching Dave Ramsey vids on youtube and told me I had no "dignity" and six months to develop a plan to move out and they were doing it because they love me.

I now work 50 hours a week minimum wage at two retail jobs to try and keep a roof on my head and I want to kill myself every day. You damn neets don't know how lucky you have it. Dave Ramsey that sick fuck literally ruined my life and I try and call his show using differnt VoiP phones every day and harass his screeners. It's literally impossible for a 28 year old to get a job and support himself, that stupid fucking boomer.

my plan is to buy a pic related. hopefully i can find one that's not too worn out. work vans tend to have high miles. then im gonna go to a hardware store and buy some foam insulation and just tape that shit to the inner roof and side walls etc. probably put a solar panel on top. from the video's i have watched it apparently is possible to run a small mini fridge on solar and batteries so i might look into that later on.

Depends 100% on your location.

I live in San Fransisco so buying a camper van made more sense than paying $2.5k/month for a studio apartment. If I lived in Phoenix Arizona I would just rent. Also it would be too hot to live in a vehicle there.

If you live in a good climate get the van and a job. Make sure not to be spending exorbitant amounts of money on fast food, and get a gym membership so you can run, work out, and shower. Get used to not having much privacy.

For temporary use sure but solar is the way to go if you're doing it more than a couple months.

I'm not sure how he'd use those in the van unless he really puts some money into his panels and battery bank. Most people go with propane (with roof vent and carbon monoxide/propane detector). Mine has it built-in but a portable camping stove would be fine.

You guys are legitimately retarded. Your parents should have aborted you at birth. You are 20 something year olds complaining you have to be an adult and work. There are teenagers putting in more hours and being more grown up then you guys.

Please commit sudoku and don't blame Dave Ramsey, you cock suckers. Boo-hoo, my parents want me to work and now I hate my life, it's sooooo harsh.

You have the opportunity to work and save 70 to 80% of all your savings because you live with your parents. If you had worked BEFORE it had gotten to the stage where you have to fight them and argue with them and live in a shitty, confrontational environment then they would have been proud of you, let you live almost rent free and would have actually stepped in to help with your savings and your life, because they'd think you're responsible and worthy of help.

But no. You want to live in a car cuz "the jew" is taking your money. Stop blaming others for your retarded incapability to grow up.

Agreed, however there are some situations when living in a van makes sense. For those of use working in places like SF but only making $100k or less it's either this or a crash pad unless you don't care about growing your net worth. For other people it's a way to cheaply travel the country.
