What is so bad about living in car? Save money on rent

[Ausaric]

Been seriously considering this lately. Don’t need to pay rent and utilities. That’s $1400 a month saved.

Only way to get ahead. I don’t need all this space. I am a FA and never have company anyway.

Everything I buy is a waste of money anyway. I need to live frugally by living in my car. Has everything I need right here. Warmth, shelter. What more do I need? Srs

I’m planning on doing this when my rent is supposed to renew this year. The only problem is my parents will most likely have a stroke or try to have me committed.

It would actually be pretty awesome if we didn't have to go to the bathroom or shower

Wet wipes for shower

Gas stations for bathroom

Once a week cheap hotel room possibly

[frankdtank20]

If you're gonna go full isolation at least trade up to a van. You could actually lay comfortably and joggers don't steal vans.

If you could afford not to why would you ?

Fuk living in a car bro that's basically last resort

[N0stradamus]

The only problem is that all the decent-paying jobs are usually white-collar corporate jobs, and imagine leaving the address field blank when completing the employee onboarding process.

If you want to go this route, you'd either first have to get a high-paying corporate job or a high-paying oil worker job.

Then get yourself a membership to a 24 hour gym so you have access to a toilet and shower.

Then take on as much overtime as you can or a 2nd job to keep yourself occupied while you accumulate cash.


A few years ago I'd say you'd accumulate enough savings to be out of this situation within a year, now I'd say you need at least 2.5 years of doing this just to escape.


The window of opportunity to acquire wealth gets smaller every year, I'm afraid.

I wouldn’t park in the city and I’ve never had my car stolen before.

I’m not retarded, just deeply mentally ill. Would never subject myself to being around dingers.

Bro I am beyond last resort, considering what I’ve been through in the last 3 years it’s a miracle I’m even walking around.

I need to do something drastic. I am not trolling either. I can’t keep doing this any longer. I need to be free: I am trapped. This is unacceptable. It’s unbearable. I am miserable. I can’t keep doing this. Like, I SERIOUSLY CANT KEEP DOING THIS. This is not the life for me.

Maybe a cabin in the woods, hunting, fishing, a wood stove is the right direction for you.

How in the fuk am I supposed to acquire a cabin in the woods? Do you think I am made of money? LOLOLOLOLOL

You are gonna move into that car and realize you took all the modern day conveniences for granted of having an legitimate dwelling

What r u gonna do in a car all day?

[thursdayParty1]

Make it a van instead

I'd rather go built some shack off grid somewhere than live in a fukin car , that would get old fast lmao

[jreacher]

Where would you park?

I could understand possibly doing this through mild to cold weather, but I couldn't fathom doing it in the summer without AC. What are your thoughts on that?

Get a cheap gym membership for showers.

[kcadrenalin]

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

[FelixTheCat1919]

What do people who live in cars do when it's hotter or colder than chit out?

[crupiea]

Sleeping in your car far and away stupidest trend to come out lately.

No question about it, It tops the list. Shelter is one of the primary needs of any species. Willingly denying yourself it to save a few bucks makes no sense.

If you cant figure out the obvious reasons then by all means, sleep in your car all winter. Then come back and let us know how it right we were.

Not just unsafe, unsanitary and uncomfortable, a nomadic lifestyle like that is inherently more wasteful. The food and toilet situations are enough to make it a no for most sane people.

I agree with this

Like why would anybody say " to save money I'll live in my car" when paying for a legitimate roof over your head is about as basic as it gets

Worry about saving $ when your basic needs are met

[dopamine72]

This

if you're going to be a nutcase and do this at least make it a "van life" scenario

As far as the mailing address is concerned open a PO box

[Maestro]

-In your downtime what would you even do? Just sit in the car?
-What if its summer and 95 degrees outside? Are you just going to burn up an entire tank of gas to keep the AC on?
-Where are you going to park?
-what if your car breaks down? You take it to the shop and they need to keep it overnight to finish repairs?

There are waaaay too many chitty variables and scenarios that makes living in a car a horrendous idea.

[Sevenlionz]

Never shrink down in front of challenges. Always expand, think of how to make it happen

Figure out a way to make more money, srs. I know it sounds stupidly simple but it really is stupidly simple just not easy

Living in a car sucks ass I’ve had to spend a couple days at a time multiple times in my car. Gets old QUICK

[Omnivium]

Wouldn't it be better to just get some roommates? At least you'd have access to a bathroom and bed and heating/cooling

Or at the very least, buy a little plot of land and build a shack on it

[ispy]

you will own nothing, and be happy!

just get a small piece of land, and put one of those $20k amazon crate "houses" on it.

[bhicks3712]

Get a van like some other dude said. Your ganna hate sleeping in a car. I’d move back with parents. Or get a camper and move back with parents and post up in the back yard.

[aranadiscoteca]

Not a car but would absolutely campervanmaxx if I was American.

[8pieces]

I always wanted to try living in my 4runner but would need to move to a reasonable climate and have sizable income

[OGfrom06]

Why not get your CDL and live in the truck while making bank?

[theory816]

If you want to live in a car, you have to do it right.

Get a truck and a mobile house you have tow around.

[AlfBundy]

Do it ph3ggit. I would if I didn't have pets. Get two full time jobs and basically just use the car to sleep. Get a $10 membership at Planet Fitness for showers. Sleep at rest stops on the interstate. Save $5k per month

[MikeLowrrrey]

As a 6' guy, a car sounds terrible. If you're gonna do that get a big SUV or Van.
