I am homeless now.

First thing you need to do is change your vocabulary. You are not homeless. You are living the van life. This makes it look like you were doing it 100% voluntary because you want the freedom of movement and less obligations. It removes a lot of the society stigma and allows you easier access to social and work chances.

Good luck. Stay away from drugs alcohol and other expensive habits. Plenty of people have chosen to live the van life for a period of time and been able to get back into a house sometimes they can even use this to save up a lot of money so they could buy a house.

Check this guy out. He roams all over North America trying to conquer as many mountaintops as he can. He's got a great following.

Please. It's not living the van life.

It's not living the escort life.


It's being homeless and being a whore. Don't candy coat shit.

It's not 'fun' to live in a vehicle and 'van life' doesn't equate to 'fun life' or 'good life' or 'free life.'

You may be financially free but you're still a slave to necessity. Can't run from that friend.

But its all good.

Got a truck with a mattress, storage unit, 24 hour gym membership and portable propane cook top.

Actually I feel more free than ever.

I was homeless once for two months... my advice is avoid shelters at all cost. buy a yearly lounge pass to a top three airline at an airport near you(free showers/food daily) Study/Learn to play all casino games, only start betting once you know the game your playing,don't drink or use drugs ever while playing and you can live off the proceeds like most professional gamblers do!

I hope things turn around for you and hope you are in a safe location.

This guy gives good advice. Men rape men on the streets, think they don't till you've got a gun to your head or a knife to your neck. You'll see the animal in man if your out there long enough.

There's this guy on youtube that teaches people how to live in their cars. How to do it all... and he shows how people are living on 500 to 800 bucks a month. It's all detailed. It's called "Cheap RV Living" but it's not just RVs, it's like this fat woman who lives in her Prius, and you wonder how can she do this? He shows you how.

This guy also has an online forum, just google his name. You'll find it. Tips and tricks and all you need to know. There are a lot of people doing this. Some I've met locally here have homes up north and just came down to Florida for the winter on the cheap.

Hope you aren't homeless forever, but you might find you might like saving money even after your circumstances improve.

What happens at shelters?

Re bleeding hearts for "Homeless" should take a vacation with backpack, sleeping bag, tent, groundmat & even better "Bikepack" which you can learn about online with numerous vendors & blogs.

With a small foldable solar panel & power bank battery, besides food & water—you can be self-sufficient anywhere on the planet.

Add a gooseneck bike trailer & you can move enough food & water to camp a few weeks between town visits.

Tablet and/or slim, low-power laptop and you are set for entertainment & communication (how dare you "homeless" spending downtime on GLP!) :p

Backpacking in general has evolved over a century, both expedition/military wise & as a hobby, obviously weight & portability is an obsession.

BTW in Humboldt County NW California you can't find camp sized propane bottles & tourism/camping/parks is a major industry here—besides the homeless freezing or needing to cook food—starving them out or Chinese shipping issues?

As for people crying you are in a vehicle, try living on a boat in a marina, besides marinas usually have hot shower/bathrooms in common buildings and in rural locations berth space can be as low as $100/mo.

City colleges/swimming pools are another source for free showers. Hostels have low-cost bunk rooms & common room kitchen/showers while co-working office spaces are another form of base, like industrial building lofts.

So many ways to avoid the landlord anchor around your neck—besides rest stops, RV parks or year-round campgrounds on state or federal land. RV living is an Internet genre at this point, some doing it in $500k RVs.

Grooming jobs on racetracks or horse breeding farms give a residence & income.

Frankly living on a boat has the greatest appeal with WW3 or zombie, blood vomiting plagues breaking out—bye bye...

And yet, you STILL have internet access.

You don't need a gym membership, you vain poser.

I wonder if a the back of a full SUV Is big enough to pull this off comfortably. Lol. I am looking at moving out for the summer, just to save up enough money if anything to be able to afford a Iphone 14 Pro when they are released, along with the ridiculous $150 a month that service costs.

the american dream is over. welcome to hell on earth.

Only been 4 days here but I am seeing the large homeless population living in their cars.

They are all over.

Rapes, theft, assaults, battery, murder……..just to name a few.

You think hell on earth just started?

That's cute.

It's been going for over 1000 years.

Buddhist monks realized we live in a hell simulation (watch the good place) and they can "opt out" by doing nothing but meditating all day.

They really were brilliant.

Yes we live in hell and any time you can think of that you think was "good" I can point out how it wasn't.

Meditating is just part of it, being and doing what really represents who you are inside, will shape things more than you know.
