learn how they saved $30,000.00 in a year with this one simple trick
>>522534859They even have a made!
On one hand I think it’s kinda neat to be able to travel everywhere and live wherever you want, but on the other hand it’s a psyop that’s propagated so that young people think it’s cool and trendy to be what is essentially a homeless migrant worker that never sets down roots anywhere or participates in civic engagement or local politics.
>>522534859>being homeless and saving money, good>living with your family and saving money, badNow show them taking a bag of clothes, and mace, into a truck stop bathroom so they can thwart a potential rape attempt while they wash their butts.
>>522534859>learn how they saved $30,000.00 in a year with this one simple trickbuying a $60k van?
The fact that van living is a thing for people with jobs shows that the economy is closing in on great depression levels
>>522534859living in a van down by the river used to be a joke. now its the american dream.
Living in a vanDOWN BY THE RIVER
>>522535229Home owner > van life > rent cuck > living with mommy > actually homeless
>>522534859BEING HOMELESS IS SO TRENDY!!!Doing this shit for a year just to travel is not a bad idea, but anyone pushing to do it permanently is a paid marketer.
>>522534859You jest, but I've been living in my car for three years. That's $31,000 I saved in rent at the rate I had been paying it before.
>>522534859That looks miserableGives off the same beta energy as those trendy mini homes
>>522535333Checked but #vanlife started over a decade ago. It's important to remember it took hundreds of years for Rome to collapse.
>>522534859I'm waiting for people to form gangs and just occupy office/apartment buildings that are being kept empty to pump prices. Surprised it hasn't happened yet.
>>522534859Why would I hate them? I only hate entitled rentoids. I don't care about people who I don't have any business with.
>>522534859It's all fun and games till everyone is stuck in a blizzard and you need to share the poop bucket with your loved one
>>522535410I'm not sure to laugh or cry.
>>522535455Multiple homes owner aka Landlord > Home owner
>>522535526I had a family who lived in their car pull up to my cul du sac a few weeks ago. I honestly did not care since they didn’t appear to be dangerous. Their kid would constantly try to dumpster dive into my trash bin whenever he thought I wasn’t looking. Which sucks for him because it was like 80% rotten food/ cat litter and shit/ and other various forms of pet waste. They left after staying there for a week. I felt bad for the kid
>>522535229Fuck your roots. This is what you look like to me when i pass by in my van.
>>522535526I didn't think they let poor people into swissland?
>>522535726There's a difference between sleeping in your car and dumpster diving. I do the former, not the latter. In fact, I'd sooner forage for food in the wild than sift through other people's trash.>>522535781vpn
>>522535315Here in europistan in my country i can find a reasonable quality used van for 5k, 1k more or less.
>>522535724I know landlords, seems like more trouble than I'd care to bother about. They get so many scumbag weirdo tenants that fuck up their properties or refuse to leave, and other bullshit. If I was a landlord I'd only do it if I had some middle manager schmuck to do all that hard stuff while I just collect the cash.
>>522534859>saved $30,000.00 in a yearThat's all? I literally bank than in a couple of months. USD at that
>>522535985Make sure you don’t have any kids until you have a solid place
>>522535410Lol, came here to post this.
>>522535526Based. Will upgrade to van this year which will be my home until my money uns out in 3-4 years and then i murder suicide my family. Already bought power station/solar panel, food grade water barrels, mini fridge, pressure pump shower etc.
>>522536347>admitting to a premeditated crime on a Mongolian tapestry forum
>>522536347>mini fridgeCamping fridge? Its not mini its 40L fridge if i recall.
>>522534859If I did that in mexico I would end up beheaded (if lucky)
>>522536004You're still going to pay at least that and more on fuel, registration, maintenance and repairs.
>>522536401Oh im just shitposting *exagerated wink*.
>>522534859>no shitter>no shower>kicked out of everywhere>no longer being insurable, en masse>100 k “starter van”And let us not forget the constant threat of Night Niggers.
>>522535778And that's why your country is a shithole.
>>522534859Sorry, you're not allowed to own vans anymore. This is a rental van and (((we've))) put in legislation that states you're not allowed to own a van unless you're a global conglomerate. Hand over 80% of your pay cheque or we'll arrest you for hate crimes.
>>522536004Decent sprinters go for over $20k here and very few shops work on them, they're mostly used as high traffic cargo vans or yuppie RVs
>>522536446Bullshit lol. Registration here is nothing, maintenance/repairs fingers crossed may be minimal or none(thats the case with my current car), fuel only if you travel all the time but the plan is to stay in one place for long periods, maybe go for supplies once every 2 weeks.
>>522536018>I'd only do it if I had some middle manager schmuckThat's what I do. I have a beach house I rent out to vacationers by the week, and I have a rental management company that books the tenants and takes care of the basic stuff on the house. They take 20% but it's worth it.
>>522536630What are the chances for a used van that would last at least a few years for around 5k in america?
>>522534859Then: "If you don't shape up, you'll end up living in the van down by the river". Now: "if you are lucky, you can live in the van down by the river". Truly the American dream, thanks boomers, wonderful world you left us.
>>522536498Dont care lol. Fuck "my" country.
>>522534859>no shower, no toiletfun
I'd live in a car but I don't want to poop and shower at a gym every day. Laundry would suck too.
This really only works if you're set up with a comfortable remote job.
>>522536974Laundromats are an abstract kind of hell.
>>522536637>maintenance/repairs fingers crossed may be minimal or none(thats the case with my current car)Best i can say for my country is your vehicle in a big city, i tried in a small town where it had only 3 garages to test before buying and almost got scammed cause the car seller would call the garage partner in crime to pretend that the piece of garbage is ok. Big city anonimity and multiple garages give you a better chance, at least here, btw if the seller asks you which garage you are testing the car before you get there then block his number and move on.
>>522536974yeah, its a stupid copethere is a reason humans inveted a fuckign housenoone voluntarily lives in a car
>>522537172>buy your vehicle in a big city*Or reasonably big town, not a small town.
Had an ex gf live in a van down by the river. Laughed my ass off. She broke down moved to a landlock state and married some fucktard in a apartment. I fucking keked that they got married, didn't take his name and said all the doors "broke" ...all the doors in the apartment. Yeah... by slamming them... im fucking keking in my house 30 yr mortgage. She fell for the fucking vanlife meme and fell for the marriage trap. Fucking kek.
>>522537335Yea first car was invented but it was not good to live in so house was invented next.
>>522537335Well back when white people had a soul, the church would house and help the homeless. Encourage them to move on for pilgrimage since it had benefits like no tolls, free food/lodging for a night,etc.
>>522537429Sedentarycel cope and seethe.
Slept in my truck a few times in my early 30s it was not comfy at all. I think at a minimum you need to stand up in whatever shelter you are in or it's gonna suck. So much more the older you get. Just get a nice thick wide sleeping pad and a warm blanket and sleep under a bridge or in a dry culvert or cave or something it would be more comfortable.
>>522535130>madeLmao you fucked up so badly, you had just ONE word...
>>522534859Jews literally hate this so much they've done their damndest (especially liberal states) to make it illegal.Even so, it's basically become impossible to do this post covid. The dramatic rise in parts to deck out a camper van, and the price of repairs to camper vans has basically made it inferior to just living out of a shit 1-bedroom.The only way now is to go far into the wilderness beyond what even sheriffs and the national guard are willing to tolerate and risk your life homesteading in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
>>522534859America sounds like hell. I pay $6000 annually for rent and I plan to buy a flat in city center for $120k - $150k.
>>522537773Yall cant live in a van. It takes multiple of you fellas just change a lightbulb for crying out loud.
>>522537439Fucking id changed.Anyways i 100% will live voluntarily in a van over a house. Like what am i missing if i wake up in sameplaceville over literaly wherever i want?
>>522535620>gangsDetroit currently has a problem with nigger gangs buying property and renting it out and handling shitty tenants with their manpower.Look no further at your future
I could never ever live in a fucking van. Its fucking awful. You get no fucking space. You'll constantly be hassled by police officers, security, and the locals. You gatta carry a bag of clothes to the laundry mats. Fucking, no fucking space at all.
I would live in a van if I got 2 wives
>>522537742>just raise prices according to whim policies bro Do americans really? I hope you are just shitposting.
>>522536018Why not just go on welfare if you want other people's money for no work?
>>522538064The point is to find an isolated spot in some beach or woodland though. Not to replace rent in a city(though kudos if you manage it).
>>522534859>save $30,000>lose ability to stand and stretchI don't think so.
Rent is 900 for a studio where I live, and 1,200 for a real apartment. Extremely cheap compared to the rest of the country. What does this mean?If you put it into the stock market over 10 years instead it would be around 150,000 dollars for JUST a studio, and that's assuming rent doesn't go up in that time. That's literally the price of a house around here (rural shithole new york)
>>522534859my first thought seeing this was "why not just buy a full rv?" but i looked it up and rvs are now worth a million dollars on average. this economy is nuts.
>>522535229Close, but actually the concept of soiboy millennials are a psyop to prevent you from buying a van and living rent free in the woods with a cute hippie girl.
I’m doing this in a nice self built van i can stand up in and it is indeed very lucrative if you own the van and only need to pay fuel/maintenance. Only cost otherwise is starlink which is like $150 usd a month
>>522535130peak ESLmuttpost
Bump, literaly the only thing i look foward to. Pic related the power bank i bought. Im a gaming addict so i bought an expensive boi that will charge my gaming laptop for 10 hours or so, more if plugged to solar panel.
>>522538670>starlinkI plan to use my mobile phone as hotspot if i need internet lol. Or at least i hope so.
>>522538917works fine too if you are close to towns and cell towers, starlink is only if you want to travel in the middle of nowhere a lot (I do)
>>522539023Me tooi guess instead of starlink i will buy lots of hard drives to save all the music and movies and audiobooks and vydia i want before i say goodbye to internet lol. Btw this is where ill mostly cook(solar oven).
>>522538835>literalyShow tits you dumb bitch
>>522539189Im male and i already suffered twink death though.
>>522538549Yes, even that van ain't cheap. And living with a woman who doesn't take a long shower daily isn't worth it either
>>522539176If the internet suddenly dies it will be a huge blessing, I will be free, but you'll still be chained down to your fucking showslop
>>522535315that aint no 60k van. you can rig one up used for 10k easily.
>>522539916Yea sure you will be free to watch the wall and count the dust particles. Btw how much for a van like this in your country? I dont need a huge one since ill live alone.
>>522539943Not 10k, serviceable vans are expensive because businesses use them
>>522540189Depends on the kms. A lot of tourists come here and buy a shitbox $2k van or suv and drive around the country for a while before selling it. If it breaks down that's a shame, they just leave it
>>522534859>he thinks 30k is a lot of money Kek
>>522536974Pro tip: desk washer
>>522540322Yea sounds about right. ill give 5k at most with the plan that it will last couple of years.
>>522535455Here's the real listHome Owner > Goth Mommy > Mother > Van Life > Rent Cuck > Actually homeless
>>522540450>desk washerKek nice, i bought one of these instead.
>>522540364he thinks a penny is a lot of money
>>522540604Technology exists no need to be rude
>>522535410I can't believe it when david spade and chris farley had that movie together where they sell auto parts or some shit like that
>>522534859>no bathroom???? Heckin based! Go kill yourself
>>522540691I know i didnt even think to search for mini washers kek.
Bought two of these, 25 litres food grade for water supply. Hopefuly it will rain so i can refill them before i run out of water too often lol.
>>522540494The transition to non shitbox is like 20k unfortunately. The rest are all people movers and tradies snapping them up and putting hundreds of thousands of miles on them and selling for a high price still
>>522536796essentially 0%
I want a boat like this so I can haul some solar panels and camp on beaches on the east coast.
>>522535273Truck stop showers have locks on the doors. The rape happens at the front desk. Because someone in a van is not buying nearly enough diesel to ever qualify for free showers. $10 to $15 a pop for a shower gets old, real fucking quick. What you really want is a gym membership somewhere that has a shower facility.
>>522541024
>>522540899Too much of a gap between them. Still compared to rent if a shitbox will last a few years you could come out of it better than not. Depends on what you can find for income i guess.
Literally every single girl I've ever talked to in their early/mid 20's, was positively receptive to the idea of living in a camper van. In fact, if you're a decent looking older guy, I'd say that telling a girl you live in a beautiful camper van is actually a POSITIVE in getting together with her. I only brought it up to so many girls I've known, because for years and years I've been wanting to do it, but doing it here in central Canada would be way way too harsh in winter.
>>522534859You will become real familiar with the local police and niggers living like that you know.People and government usually aren’t too fond of strangers illegally squatting like gypsies on their property.
>>522540967Not even a small one this size? >>522540189
>>522536347>Mini fridgeA tiny chest freezer will stay frozen for more than 24 hours without electricity. They're so efficient, I wonder if there's chest-fridge rigs that could run off significantly less power / off-grid.
>>522541184As if anyone would want to try it in your sardine box of a country.
>>522535526Spent 4 months living in my car this year. Was actually a decent experience in a lot of ways.
Well, I would live in a van, mainly for fun! I want a run down looking rut, externally, with a hobbit medieval internal lavish cozy decor. I saw this on YouTube, and I Love it.I live in a safe city, so many Legal place to stealth park, would not mind at all. Not one but.I have a big place and cheap rent though in prime location, for now, but I'd still oot for a van.Anon, wtf is the poc all about, where do they toilet! Fucking troll.
>>522535229Yeah, agreed. its a psyop so two generations of americans dont revolt. reframing poverty and loss of middle class lifestyle as "hip" and "clever"
>>522536474>the constant threat of Night Niggers.I encountered one night nigger in my time living out of my car when I was sleeping in a parking lot I knew was risky. Got him to leave for a quarter bag of walnuts.
>>522541309>A tiny chest freezer will stay frozen for more than 24 hours without electricityYea i bought one of those, 40 litre. Should get enough food inside for about 2 weeks if i got a potatoes and onions etc in a different box.
>>522541403all the potatoes*
Oh wow, you could fit AT LEAST 15 Indians in there! Advertise this to India immediately.
>>522535273Lmao, this made me giggle, my vivid mind! Family is sacred, a peacful one that is, the richness of life, you are correct.
>>522534859Landlord here. You should be able to choose whatever living accommodation you can afford and would be most suited to you personally. It really doesn't matter to me if you choose live in a van.
>>522540879>Relying on rainwaterStay 1 singular night in a national park, or alternatively go into the campground and just "look around" but actually just fill up your water and leave, local parks also have taps a lot of the time. Even just knocking on someone's door and paying them 1 dollar for water would work.
>>522534859>living in a van>not living on a boathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3-Qe1S35Xo
Uh oh looks like youre pregnantI’ll have to build another bike rack honey
>>522536974>Laundry would suck tooHow did people do laundry in the past?Oh, literally just wash it by hand, or do what campers do and use a bucket + plunger.
"Sir there's a guy illegally parked here please evict him.""Oh hey there's a guy parked here where nobody will notice when we rob him""Ha I bet that guy has to burn gas constantly moving around and do tons of repairs."Me I just squat in houses. No car insurance to pay, no gas to pay, no repairs on anything other than my bicycle. Used to have eBike but that cost too much with the repairs and was a thief magnet. Shower in the gym every day as long as I want. Used to squat with methheads that would pull all the copper and ruin the whole house making it decrepit but I learned all the ins and outs of squatting and now I don't share my location with any other hobos and keep to myself and just fix the house I'm in removing mould and making things better.
>>522541396ImoTis better to get the van you can make comfy now, than to wait till the economy swallows you later and spits you out in a cardboard box under a bridge later.Mobility is king in SHTF
>>522535726This is cringe af, I hate people who live like this with Children or homeschool them.Extremist lefties or right, nut jobs, don't reproduce if you can't settle down in a Home, Are, Relationship aka Marriage only no Bullshit we live together. Sad, poor child.
>>522535778Lol, are these the peasants who could give a fuck not about some nut job larping king! They're Epic dude.
>>522534859And a dog to make it even more unpleasant and stinks
>>522534859Imagine the smell
>>522541686>How did people do laundry in the past?Used pee.
>>522541707Shh you're talking too much common sense Meanwhile I'll just have ten baby mommas and that'll take care of my legacy problem To the gas station for milk I go
>>522541779Why not a literal parakeet at some point?
>>522535620It has already happened I guess you just aren't in tune with what's going on.
>>522541707>yes goy, you should send your children to public schools
>>522541588Im in europe. There are of course ways to fill it up but ideally rain would come along frequently enough to refill without needing to use another way.
>>522534859>Live in the pod!>this time with wheels!Just don't worry about where you're going to park the thing long term.
>>522535687So a scenario that will never happen to me or anyone else on here since we're all forever alone.If you had someone to live with why wouldn't you just rent a place then and share the same one bedroom apartment?
>>522541891>Homeless in europeI'm sorry for your loss. America is like a homeless paradise with the warm states and national parks and general amenities everywhere.
>>522541706Thats reasonable, I hear ya. Things arent getting better.
>>522534859>$30,000.00That's an inconsequential amount of money.
>>522541177I mean whats not to like? If my psycho mother didnt turn me into something between an incel and a volcel i would totally go with my gf in renfaires one week and gather mushrooms together inawoods the next etc.
>>522541992That's a downpayment for a house in my area, and you're only paying the down payment if you rent it out and let rentoids pay for the mortgage portion.
>>5225348591980s - You got to work hard to buy this 2000 square foot home1990s - You got to work hard to buy this 1500 square foot home2000s - You got to work hard to buy this 800 square foot apartment2010s - You will never afford a home, live with 4 roommates 2020s - That'll be 100k for the "luxury" van to live down by the river in. It's not homeless, it's "vanlife"2030s (predicted) - Your government sleeping pod will be made inaccessible if you don't boost your social credit score
>>522541980Well don't let me get you pessimistic there are even cheaper mobility options.I knew a guy who lived on a damn bicycle You can motorize those suckers for nothing these days
>>522535455There's no such thing as being a "home owner" as long as HOAs exist. Buying a home in the USA just means you now have a fat jewish woman as your landlord.>t. former "home owner" who went back to renting
>>522541606>living on a boatThat really depends. In a small boat like that, you better make sure you're in relatively calm water. A big hard wave on the hull can sound like a canon going off. If you're crossing an ocean, it's not the biggest deal. You just put up with it for the passage. Otherwise you don't want to hear that all the time. And then of course, in rough enough waters something like the stove he has is not suitable. You'd really want a small back up stove on gimbal like a camping stove so you can at least boil some water.
>>522541967>I'm sorry for your loss.Thanks. At least the food here is non-poisonous as the default state. Other than that america would be better in every way after you have everything setup, over there you can put a stove and no one will say anything, nothing more comfy than fire flicker during the night in your van lol.
>>522534859Yes!
>>522536974I do it because my parents are insane hoarders and there isn't a single working shower in their house and nothing ever gets repaired and water leaks through the roof and so on so it's way worse than being homeless or squatting plus they scream at me always when I'm there.Just buy or boost a Vim shower cleaning thing from Dollarama and spray it liberally all over the floor, walls, handle, and shower head every single time you go there. I do it because I've had worts multiple times in the past and really hate all the pain they cause when I'm doing ultra-marathons and how disgusting worts are. Now I never get worts and the bad smell after a week of me always showering and always cleaning the shower first is all gone, it's really nice now at the gym thanks to me.
>>522534859Where do they shit?
>>522542310They don't show you that part on their instagram van life shill account
>>522542024>If my psycho motherAnd psycho father*Anyways goodnight. Hope anyone who does this works out for them.
>>522541494Lol, sinister.Rent free in my head now, deep fear is now the abyss.
Vim Pureboost Bathroom Power & Shine that's what I use right now. I just spray it on everything and let it be as I shower. When I'm done I always put a clean towel down too and stand on that as I get dressed and get my shoes on then after I wipe the floor too with the towel but usually not the sides of the stalls I just let the vim stuff drip down along with the water that splashes on the walls. Always doing this every day is working for me. Now especially huge effort in doing it, not like I have to give everything a thorough scrubbing. Just the presence of this stuff sprayed all over helps things and the cleaning staff also regularly do the more thorough scrubbing. It smells nice too.
>>522542359Just shovel a hole on the ground with hand shovel lol.
>>522536974How exactly does laundry suck? There's laundry mats. The biggest issue is just making sure methheads don't steal your towels and clothing.
>>522542397Kek google hippie trail. The reverse of this happened with euro-hippie boomers.
>>522541401See?? People NEED to be careful and be on the lookout for these things. My god man.
>>522537429How the fuck is marriage a trap for the woman though? Marriage is a trap for the man only.
>>522536018>>522535724It's only worth it if it's a decent house in a decent neighborhood, houses in the hood cost 1/2 as much but will cost you 4x as much in the long run.I've seen the nigger tenants firsthand and the amount of damage they do is amazing, but you basically have a flowchart that you use to put you ahead of everyone renting places out>No single mothers>Only stable families looking to move>Be extremely selective and racist, be okay with not renting for months, you're looking for long-term tenants, not quick money>NEVER EVER take pity on anyone, don't try to give anyone a hand>Even if he's 10 years sober never rent to a druggieAnd then all you have to do is bag a tenant for a few years, those couple years pay off your initial downpayment, and then it's all green from there. The initial downpayment is literally the only price most landlords pay and the rest is financed, so once that downpayment is recovered it's all in the green and you actually start making money off purchasing that 400,000 house after a couple years of renting. Yup, that's how the math works, you put down 20% and after you recover that 20% you're making money and you pretty much get to use an asset while only actually paying for 20% of it. Financing is the hardest part.
>>522542516Yea a knife and pepper spray etc. Anyways goodnight
>>522542397>AI generated slop imageGuess how I know you're a jeet.
>>522541857Proper parenting and Awareness will do fine, society was always crazy, the village was always nuts, the hoards were always bat shit insane... You in fact can send your child to school and raise them properly and not have the village do most of the work for you! Immagine not socializing your child among peers, while still understanding how to stear them correctly and be the Core. I Hate hippies and extremist idiots.
>>522537696I mainly just couch surf, sleep in the hospital, sleep in those bank ATMs because they have actual heat, and squat houses. Your ideas are just asking to get robbed, assaulted, and attacked by bugs and wild animals. A cave is really good but there aren't that many and national park rangers do check all the caves from time to time including the ones not on any maps.
>>522542476I fear hippies, but I will look it up! lol
>>522542696Holy cow, no sarr, no, I am not! lol
>>522537742The way pajeets and drug addicts do it is best. Just have 20 people living together in the same 1 bedroom apartment, making all the space into multi-tier bunk beds, and keep your extra stuff you can't store there in a storage place or a friend's house or something similar... Then you all have to just try and cough up a little money somehow to make the rent each month (a huge challenge even if it's just $500 rent and there's 20 of you, usually someone has to get beaten every month and the rest manage to come up with at least a little) and you can manage like this month after month.
>>522542658Her fried brain thought marriage was bad. Thats why she dun didnt take his name.
>>522535229>live wherever you wantLol, no that isn't the case at all. >>522535455being homeless is the most based if yiu can hack it
>>522537742>risk your life homesteading in a cabin in the middle of nowhereThey unironically don't care if you just find some old logging road and drive down it and set up camp, actually they don't even know.Of course they raided /lit/anon because someone made a meme of him, but other than that he just lived on top of a mountain in a hut made of a couple sticks and tarps. He came down to do odd jobs. Stopped following him a few years ago.
>>522535410Who knew?!It was good life advice!
>no insulation>no storage>instead of paying for cheap electricity you’re paying for expensive fuel>have to use public facilities to shit, shave, wash, shower, do your laundry, eat meals>at night the only thing that separates your sleeping body from roving drug addicted nigger criminals is a thin sheet of aluminum>can’t host a friend or family member or even keep a petI’ll pay the 30k, thanks.
I also just take apart palettes and build into the side of hills and wooded places using the instructions of the Field Manual for trench digging that the US Military and Ukraine soldiers have been using since World War I. You guys who can buy a 60k or even 10k van are super rich and not an injured schizophrenic person like me who is unemployable.
>>522543484How do you avoid trench foot?Also you realize there are hybrids like me, who can't be high performance job havers but still employableAt least a comfy 10k van is a savings goal to look forward to Especially since "home" for me won't last
>>522534859I think it's rather amusing that these people think they've found some sort of cheat-code out of the Matrix.this is precisely what (((they))) are pushing everyone to do.They want you to willingly accept smaller, cheaper, poorer, as the 'new normal'This is what jewflation does to a society.This is how wealth inequality continues to get worse, while they bullshit you into accepting it as 'hip' and 'trendy'
>>522543763There's levels to "smaller, cheaper, poorer" you wouldn't believe A comfy bachelor van is perfectly reasonable but if you add a woman or kids to the equation obviously then it's not ideal
>>522534859lmao just inherit your grandparents' houses, that's how easy it is to be a landlord
>>522534859So what? now we are going to have rich people living the life of bums to be part of the American Dream?Pathetic
>>522535455It’s the other way around
>>522534859The bed takes up the entire thing horrible setup and how much was the van to begin with? How about turning the inside into fake wood. Fuck that id freak out from that tiny space
>>522536474>Night niggersAbsolute fucking kek
>>522541340i took a plastic hunting stand and some solar panels into the woods for a few months. I agree. Was cool to be free. Saved lots.
>>522534859you vill live in the vanpod and be happy
I always imagine Steve-O when i see these van threads
>>522543239Also when your van inevitably has a mechanical apocalypse it's a lot of stress / money as your house will be stuck in a shop somewhere and you're on the street. Receiving physical post is a pain and you'll always need some sort of real address for insurance and health care. IMO most people never do it for long as its just too annoying and uncomfortable.
>>522534859I lived in a house with no more then 1200 Square Foot of space with myself, wife, and 2 kids for 10 years. NEVER AGAIN.
>>522534859>saved $30,000.00By spending $120,000 to turn a van into a shitty, undersized RV.This and that "tiny home" crap is simply absurd.At first I thought it was interesting, then I found out what the prices were. One of those "luxury" can't-stand-up-without-making-a-hole-in-your-roof "homes" cost as much as two mobile homes.The one in the pic is particularly absurd.Notice how the (presumably) male one's feet dangle off the end of the bed? If he straightened out (not likely) he would dangle off of both ends. He has drained his savings to build a children's playset RV that he can't even sleep in comfortably.
>>522545192Imagine taking your home, into an MOT test centre. What a vile experience that would be
Most localities in the US have ordnances against this very thing. You can own an RV or in this case van but you cannot use it as a residence.
>>522534859Squat in empty houses, burn them down when you get evicted.
There a this like 60 year old dude white is always at the gym on his laptop. I usually world out after 5pm on weekday and he’s usually there until at least 9pm (I’ve moved my work out hours around to spy on him). I think it’s work related which is weird given the hours he’s there. He looks clean and like he takes care of himself. I can’t tell if he’s one of these van dudes or something or just hates his wife.
>>522534859Gen Z could cost (((Landlords))) billions. Here's why that's a bad thing.
>>522545585Your mobile goon cave needs to be road safe.YouTube used to be full of these "van lifers" but it's really fallen off as interest has dropped. All people with commitment issues i think
>>522535455Living with mommy>home owner>van life>actually homeless >>>>>>>> rent cuck
>>522534859>start doing this immediately.No, fuck you, i won't live in a pod
>>522535130SAAAR it's Maid
cities need to allocate space for these, its time to get real and smell the coffee, 'boondocking' is fooling no one, I see them all over the place
>>522534859those people laughed at commie blocks
>>522534859That's pretty grim though. At least get an RV.
>>522534859Van life isn't a real thing. It's a hobby for rich people who have a house to go back to when it gets old or dangerous. No one lives in a car by choice. All of them eventually go back to a normal house.
>>522535526I lived in a compact hatchback car in college the last year and a half, to graduate w/honors.
>>522535130Good Evening SAARS!
>>522534859Try sleeping in one in Louisiana during the month of August and you'll hate it too.
>>522538917>I plan to use my mobile phone as hotspot if i need internet lol. Or at least i hope so.I get by for internet doing this.
>>522534859I don't get why they always go for small vans. I would go for a box truck at the smallest, a bus is better sized.
>>522541690hope it all works out. youre outside the structure thats failing people. youre living outside it. good for you
>>522534859>van life cope>depreciating asset>has a landlordI'll take what is building my equity for $500 alex
>>522542130Don’t live in a HOAmeans you have to buy a older ranch style home and not the McMansion cookie cutter suburban home that all look the same just different colors
>>522535130>education tier: maid in USA
>>522534859They have to shit in a bucket full of sawdust. I have more dignity than that.
>>522537088pic rel claims to live out of casino hotels using comps to minimize the per night rate down to a level where it's cheaper than rent. he downsized to the point of just washing t-shirts in the sink. of course, he also has to gamble to maintain the comps so losses factor into the cost.
"Van life" is a marginal improvement on homelessness. That being said, "van lifers" need to be summarily and extra-judicially executed.
i would be perfectly fine living in one working some sort of remote job. i have spine issues that keep me from standing without pain for longer than 5 minutes.All my remote job applications for the past 3 years come back with nothing.
>...
>>522536421Give me a sister or cousin that wants to suck a visa out of my dick every night.
>>522534859I vanlifed for about 4.5 years. Still kinda do but I'm living some place now. Haven't paid a cent in rent since 2021.Conversions like OPs pic baffle me. As someone who survived this lifestyle I can assure you you don't need any of that shit.>>522543239>>no insulationClothing insulates the body. Automobile seals air tighter than house does. Park in sun on cold day to store heat.>>no storageWhat do you need to store? I kept clothes, food, books, tools, and electronics at all times. Plus other junk.>>instead of paying for cheap electricity you’re paying for expensive fuelWow. Now imagine paying rent + electricity + fuel like a wagie. Imagine rent goes up...and fuel does too oh no!>>have to use public facilities to shit, shave, wash, shower, do your laundry, eat mealsErgo, never ever pay for toilet paper or hand soap. Shaving is gay. Laundromat = 2 hrs to loiter on site, charge devices, take shit, watch tv.>>at night the only thing that separates your sleeping body from roving drug addicted nigger criminals is a thin sheet of aluminumUnlike a tenant, I can relocate at will. Sit up at night and observe. Too sketchy? Goodbye, never coming back. If this is a repeat problem, get on the highway and leave town.>>can’t host a friend or family member or even keep a petThese are not necessities.>>522545192Yes but if you know mechanical breakdown is inevitable you can have an emergency plan from the beginning. It's the most obvious and predictable weakness you have.
>>522536630it's so tiresome having you fucking retarded fucking idiot retards post shit that isn't true on the internet. it needs to be illegal to lie on the internet. Punishable by death.
>>522551180even if you don't live in an HOA your city/township still has code enforcement that prevents you from doing what you want in your propertythe HOA was just created because cities/townships weren't enforcing shit in areas with diversity
>>522540967>>522536796Fuck idiot. First result on craigslist near me is 9k in amazing shape. i'm sure you could find a piece of shit that is still better than living on a sidewalk for 5k.
>>522552013Great read. I did it for 18 months and it wasn't even bad. I learned a lot about being resourceful and how to tighten up and had a lot of personal growth.
>>522551415i used to live in China, spent some time in a hostel with my soon to be best friend for life and brother from another mother. We would wash our clothes in the shared bathroom sinks or showers, then squeeze the water out and hang them across the vacant bunks in our room.We would leave our place so fucking cluttered and trashed and have clothes constantly hanging everywhere to scare other people away from stayin in our room and the management wouldn't say shit because we were the nicest/funnest/longest term payers.The Ming Courtyard in BeiJing. Used to be a massive hub of activity. BeiJing fucking blows now. But it was definitely like living in the Wild West, extremely barbaric and backwards people.
>>522552013the homeless retard actually listed "not having to pay for toilet paper and hand soap" like it's some incredible benefitlmao
>>522535410Chris Farley would be so rich and even more famous if he had gotten help. He was set up to be the voice of Shrek. Damn it, Chris.
>>522553151No, faggot. The incredible benefit is not owing anyone any money for a place to live. Having 100+ toilets to choose from every day and literally never restocking the tissue is just one exquisite perk.
>>522554060>i don't have to pay money>i just have to own a car which requires registration and insurance>the car also needs gas to go anywhere>i also have to pay for the maintenance of that carlmao
>>522534859How do nerd ass dweebs like this dude get girl friend and I am an incel. While 6ft+ and jacked? My life is such a humiliation ritual
>>522553151
>>522554280try lifting your personality up and down like weights>>522552013>Laundromat = 2 hrs to loiter on sitethis is a benefit? not sure
>>522549005You will live in the pod. You will eat the bugs. And you will be happy.
>>522537773>>522537879a jew with the softball pitch and a jew with the swing
>>522535526No one in Switzerland is living in his car because the winters are brutal here
>>522535455>living with parents is worse than a rent cuckkek you literally fell for real estate brainwashing, whites have been living with their elders for millennia before jews tricked us into driving property prices up
>>522554280Charisma + low anxiety neccessary
>>522554280mid single mothers with multiple children are easy game if you hit em up, but why would you want that though.
>>522534859Even those these zoomers look quite sexless and probably are, imagine how that van will smell in 8 months. They don't have a functional shower, a functional toilet, and it will have filled up with 16 human-months' worth of tofu-ramen farts. Even burning this won't solve the problem. They'll have to cover it in a concrete sarcophagus like some meltdowned nuclear reactor.
>>522554206Hahaha. You tickle me with this. Ok let's see now..>be wagie>pay rent>and also...>>i just have to own a car which requires registration and insurance>>the car also needs gas to go anywhere>>i also have to pay for the maintenance of that carWithout car how get to work? Without work how pay for wage cage? Move closer to city = rent goes up. Move further from city = commute goes up. Work more hours = less time spent in home you've already paid for. Work less hours = can't afford to leave home you've already paid for. It's a trap.
The only issue I have with this is when you embrace this lifestyle long term and see it as a solution rather than as a stop gap measure to get you to a house and family with kids lifestyle.
>>522555304You can just run an ozone generator from time to time. This advice applies to actual houses too by the way. But I agree, living in a van is too much of a compromise, it's like a kids idea of a home - as long as I have my bed and my XBOX I'll be happy!You have to be able to shit and shower, wash and dry your clothes, cook, store your stuff, host guests etc. not to mention you couldn't raise kids in a van.
>>522554728Whites have been living in compounds with their elders or as close neighbors, not across the hall from one another to hear each other fucking
>>522536421Why, does the cartel hate van lifers?
>>522556043Man these N words are such busybodies. If you want more children around so bad then do a couple extra to cover the ones i didnt make. Simple.
Doesn't this only work in wealthy areas with massive housing costs? In Europe the relative costs for setting this up and maintenence seem not be worth it.
>>522557215Yeah that's basically the symptom
>>522535985which vpn? none has worked here for me
>>522557215I mean i got a car for 4 years now and in none of those years have i ever paid more than 1 month of rent for yearly maintainance, not even close.
>>522535315the nice ones are like $150k. im.not even kidding.
>own home>if you don't pay the government rent every year they take it from youYeah at least the bug men in China are honest with the 99 year leaseYou don't own shit
>>522534859>be a gypsy>that will show them jews
>>522558195Own two homes, retard.
>>522534859>Property owners hate them, because they are vagrants.
