Understandable. This lifestyle isn’t for everyone. But it’s absolutely criminal how extortionate the housing industry is, vs how low jobs pay. I don’t know every detail of your situation, and you’re under no obligation to explain it here because certainly it must be overwhelming for you right now, and I’m sending you powerful positive energy and boy do I sure know that when we go through hellfire, if we survive it, we come out stronger like refiner’s fire making metal harder.

I just want to comment on regular showers: 24-hour gym membership! I’m a massage therapist and oh yeah I need to be clean 24/7 too✨😄 And we have showers at my place of employment too but I feel weird showering there so I’ve only done it once or twice. And yeah I confess I am doing this lifestyle in a tall comfy van. Would be less comfortable in an actual little car. 🙏🏼

But my paychecks are all for me, no way I could have saved up all this money if I had to pay landlords every month.

I am so in love with this freedom lifestyle.

Yes it’s illegal to sleep in a vehicle where I am too, but there are so many homeless people around here, law enforcement focuses on the ones actually sleeping outside on the sidewalks & beaches & in tents. Law enforcement does not bother us in vehicles at all unless belligerent, making messes, or staying parked in one place for too long. I’ve never had a problem.

Anyway I know you have no desire to live in a vehicle, most people would consider it a hardship, so pardon my tangent but this topic excites me 🤭

Ideally I would have a house AND this van but as most of us know we can’t always have everything we want, which probably the slight discomfort I always feel is a reason I thought of this post topic.

Hey it’s not so bad 😄 I kid you not, I’ve been living in my car for SIX YEARS. It’s a lifestyle choice. No rent, no mortgage, no utilities, no property taxes, no HOA, and you can live wherever you want! 😃 It’s friggin’ awesome.

Me too 😢 So the next question is, if your life was exactly the way you wish it would be, what are all the things that would be in it that are missing now?

I’ll go first 😢

I wish to fall in love with a man and we could live in a house on the California coast, but first I wish I had a personality that could attract a man like that. Because my personality has always been 😵‍💫 and I get panic attacks whenever someone talks to me. It’s a crippling problem and I need to figure this out.

Are you registered through the government as a carer so you get paid for that hard work & sacrifice?

I agree loneliness is killing me but everything else is keeping me alive like work & the money that comes from working even though work is torture, I’m in so much pain, but if I keep doing everything right, my reward is indulging in my exhilarating hobbies.

I think he means empty in that he’ll never be able to afford any furniture.

Our jobs might as well provide us housing & food since we’re basically prisoners there and can’t afford anything else anyway.

Sorry but I would completely lose attraction to the Dagobah farter. Not gonna circle back.

But if the fart smells like 10,000 rotten eggs from the swamps of dagobah and the stench persists for hours and will not go away then I think the mood is ruined.

Yeah It’d take forever to click “All like-minded hoes in the world EXCEPT family members”

Interesting. Here’s what it looks like when they give me that warning:

I click “dismiss” every time.

Oh so THAT’S why Gmail has been nagging me for years to give them my phone number to use as a means of backup ID in case I forget my password. I refuse.

But how could anyone else in the world know what my high school mascot was?

Then you file for SSDI

To ensure they’re at peak performance, they’re gonna need provisions to WFH in their underwear. Job needs to provide endless supply of hot pockets, Doritos, mountain dew, and Taco Bell gift certificates. And three daily 15-minute gooning breaks.

Foolish prisoners. Why don’t they just get unchained and go outside and experience reality?

People ask me that sometimes. Because I have a unique look that people can’t quite pinpoint. They think Italy or Greece or Latina or one person thought I was Chinese 🙄

But I’m 50% German, 25% Irish, 12.5% Spain, and 12.5% Navajo.

The Navajo olive complexion is strong, with a German big nose, and fiery Irish personality & stoic pragmatic blunt German demeanor.

You just bought it? Well I’ve got news for you. It’s going to start nagging you about ink cartridges in a couple months. Yes even laser printers do this. I thought just like you when I bought a laser printer that I had escaped the ink cartridge nightmare. Nope.

I sure hope his surviving loved ones earn a million royalty dollars every time he is memed.

Are people still out there buying new ink cartridges every time they need to print something? I was sick of that s*** in 2019 and returned my printer to Costco and I’m never buying another printer again.
