Anyone ever lived out of their car? Seriously considering this . Why pay $1200 for a studio apartment when you could finance a used forerunner for $350 a month (insurance included).

At least in the end you’d own an asset.

Because you need proof of residence to work where I live. Would have loved to do this otherwise
Same with my state, still didn't stop me. Use a friend or family member address, but have your stuff sent to a PO box.
you can just stay at a backpacker's hostel for a week and they sell Proof of Address/Residence for $5 at the counter.
After you have that you can just send your mail to a PO Box and live in a tent in the woods if you like.
I do field work in a converted van and after a couple of weeks it's pretty miserable. Having to slide on thongs and grab a shovel to go and take a shit at 3am then wash your hands with a 10 liter jug quickly loses the novelty factor. Washing yourself and dishes is a hassle. There's also the fact that unless you're way out (no laundry/amenities/signal) then someone is going to want money off you for the privilege of stopping there overnight, only gets harder if you have a bigger set up. Even with no hookups for guaranteed not being moved on by a poke-nosed cop you are exchanging money. I mean it's nice being in the middle of nowhere with all you need to get by and a somewhat comfy bed at night but I wouldn't want to do it long term.
he doesn't have to be way out, he can sleep in the Walmart parking lot like everyone else, or overnight at truck stops which have toilets and showers. just depends on how PrepHole he wants to be. also if near an interstate you can overnight at a rest area.
>take a shit at 3am
see a doctor
I was awakened by a creature and wanted to dump out before I went back to bed. That's the other thing, creatures or people can mess with you far easier than in a building.
let me tell you about highways rest stops...holy shit...
Yes. It sucks. You will only manage for a few months at a time, and only in a mild climate. Finding a place to sleep fricking sucks. You will feel like an outlaw. Your health will take a nosedive.
Why don't people rise up and demand housing be nationalized and commercial real estate and foreign ownership of housing be restricted?
How bad is it going to get before people have enough of the greed of the professional landlord class?
I don't get it.
You dont get it because you don't own property.
Actually I do own property, and I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I don't think anyone has a problem with Joe the Plumber renting his guest bedroom out to a college kid to help pay the mortgage. It's these billion dollar real estate firms who intentionally buy more houses than they need and letting them sit empty to drive down supply. It's foreign governments buying up real estate... why are they allowed to do this?
be the change you wanna see, anon. if you can't change the system, be that blessing for others. I've had a lot of cool landlords who wouldn't even freak out if I paid rent late. There is one who would check up on me and be like "you okay, bud? need some help?" God bless those people.
Why do PrepHoleners love sucking wiener so much these days?
>askes the rampaging wiener sucker
>no u
How clever.
Because at some level you know you are part of the parasitic underclass and that acting out violently will give the normie majority the chance to cull you without guilt.
>acting out violently
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Ever heard of squatter's rights?
Good luck evicting me, we have the law on OUR side, not yours. Do not forget it, parasite. Did you think you could make money for free doing nothing? Think again.
no one cares when another dead crackhead gets fished out of the river.
>squatters right
haha chainsaw go brrrrr
You dont even know what squatters rights are. Additionally they are superseded by stand your ground laws and good luck arguing that in court with a vented chest cavity
>Why don't people rise up and demand housing
4 generations of Americans have been subjected to rabid capitalist propaganda since an early age. Any attempt to improve the plight of working people is instantly branded as unamerican and demonized.
This. Americans are ideological hostages and they love their captors.
whites seething. us here in cherokee nation have this.
I had a truck bed camper shell, elevated it on some lumber so I could sit up, put a cot in there with some memory foam, bought a bunch of plastic shelves from walmart to put my stuff in, ran a 100 dollar inverter through my cab so I could have some juice for my phone, laptop, modem, and I lived like that for a year in colorado. It was 50% because my work involved spiking out for up to 3 weeks at a time, and 50% because rent in colorado is fricking nuts. I was making $18+/hr and still qualified for food stamps. I just used 24hr gyms and bathhouses to shower. There's a place in salida that was a pool, you could rent a hot tub and drink beer or whatever, and you could shower. When my fire crew got off, and the girls from the all women trail crew got off at the same time, I'd always rent a hot tub because they were co-ed so it was a nice place for some ass if you didn't want to camp, rent a room, or have car sex. Car sex was also had.
forgot to add,, there are strangely a lot of local women working regular jobs who are perfectly fine with dudes living in their car for some reason. Idk if it's a colorado thing or what. Then in the off season you get the ski bums. Some of them had an emphasis on BUM ifyouknowwhatImean.
What did he mean?
I think that anon was thoroughly pegged in the bed of a 06 Ranger by smelly Colorado hippy women.
frick a 4runner, get a gmc truck van.
I sold my house but still had like four months left on a job, so I did this in a grand Cherokee. It was pretty cozy tbh, but at the end of the four months I was over it. Lucky for me work had showers and a kitchenette. I never told anyone I was living in the parking lot, but I'm sure someone noticed. A friend that lived with me previously had left behind a roll-and-go sleeping pad that was way too bulky to take backpacking, but worked great here. I also got some velcro and cut small squares out. One end end had adhesive so i stuck it to the corners of my windows, then affixed the matching square s to sunshades I cut to the size of said windows. Also consider how quickly a space that small starts to stank and get something to combat it.
yes and while is can be a bit cheaper the savings are not as dramatic as you'd think they'd be. Several reasons why
can't cook in bulk and use a fridge
heating and cooling is expensive, propane in the 5lb tanks are about 50x more than natural gas coming into your house.
have to spend time, money, gas on 24 hour fitness for showers. constant gas moving around
i found myself doing a lot more stuff to get out of the van. coffee here, see a movie, go to a bar it all adds up
taking a shit can be an hour event. get a chem toilet for emergencies
being sick is horrible. much worse than the flu at home.
few other concerns that aren't monetary
safety, better carry a gun and good insurance on your stuff
having a permanent address
internet and phone access, i had a hotspot plan and other than remote places it was fine
sleeping is hit and miss.
two bits of advice, first don't put yourself in a situation where you don't have any other options. at least not until you've done a season and will really commit. Last if you look, smell and act like a criminal hobo you're going to be treated like one. shower regularly and always be nice and it'll save you lots of troubles.
Cause then you’d have to live a fricking car
