    Today is day 3 of me living in my car now. I’ve been watching your videos and taking notes. I’ve been sleeping at Planet Fitness. So far I haven’t gotten a knock. I see other people that sleep here too so it’s comforting to be honest. It does get scary at times especially when you wake up to a loud noise.

      1 year living in my car. And working full time. Chrysler town & country. Can’t wait for winter again. Summer is so hard to live in car. Winter is way better. I am trying to get me a room in hotel every week. I need that 1 day in motel to rest from this lifestyle. It is not easy life. Hardest part is to find safe place to park over night. Also it is very boring life.nothing very fancy as some youtubers trying to present. It is far from fancy and cool lifestyle. Get yourself camper van (if possible ) in which you can stand up. It makes huge difference. I wish all the best to all of you car lifers. God bless

    Jesus Christ... How did it come to this, that a young person in the prime of their life, at their most productive age, has to live in a car for so many years? Don't get me wrong, it's a great adventure, but the era of expensive houses and apartments should come to an end. It's not just a shame for the country, but for the world, that people have to live like this in the 21st century. I understand living this way for a year for the "adventure" or to save up for a small apartment or a down payment on a mortgage... but when I read the comments under this video, and there are people doing the same, or worse, staying in hotels just to feel the comfort of a bed, I start to wonder which direction the world is heading.

      You're right about the cost of housing but you are wrong about the rest. Nomads have existed since the beginning of time, explored, established trade routes, and mapped the world. None of the nomads I know would trade their lives for anything else ever again. It's a freedom unknown to most people. And most of the nomads I know are seniors who wish they had done this instead of living the "normal" life they lived with the confines of jobs they hated and everything we're all socialized to think is normal. Modern industrialized society is anything but natural and the stress, anxiety, depression, violence, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc. that stems from living that way is obvious to anyone looking back at it whereas the pure joy and exhilaration of living with nature is incomparable.
      EDIT: I refer to "vanlifers"/nomads who live on the road, boondocking as they go. Living in a city in a vehicle is another beast, but it still beats working three-four jobs just to pay for the apartment you sleep and shower in because you're too exhausted for anything else. I've been there and done that and have zero desire to ever go there again. I only wish I had known about this lifestyle back then because my life would have been so much better. You do you though...

    Just started my car life adventure today. I'm sleeping in a kind of out of the way parking lot near a nice trail I like to hike. Hopefully shouldn't get spotted. I know this life won't be easy, but I've put a lot of thought into it, planned out what I'm going to do, and quite honestly, I'm enjoying the new found freedom, and FINALLY being able to save money. This is a lifestyle I never thought I needed, but somehow it just seems like the right thing for me. Good luck out there anyone staying in their car, or storage unit, or wherever. Stay under the radar, stay safe, and stay positive. Great video, man. Keep em coming

He didn't give me much game, but he knew from his experiences some stuff wasn't worth it. He was pretty against labor intensive jobs, I was young and just saw the checks. Meanwhile overtime, your body is not what it used to be and you wish you stuck with school to get a job at a computer or something. So your depressed at 30 wishing w/ no skills that translate to the jobs you would be happier in..not to mention the payscale is different without a specialize skill or degree, I worked delivery too and its shitty man. Just offering up my experience because that money put toward the right stuff can be lifechanging. Hold off on traveling til you set and it can be beautiful. Once again do you, I just wanted to be someone that went down a route that i wish i didn't. If given the game a different way, i would be in a much happier place...but i didn't.

I even bought a new 4Runner to accommodate the lifestyle. By doing so, I can save as much as $2000 per month that I would have spent on rent & utilities 😱 This lifestyle change will save me $20k-$25k a year. That's AFTER I've paid my life expenses.

    Another video I saw from a year ago or so… a fella lived in converted work vans and such. Pretty much doing what you’re doing. Taking showers at a gym, living in a vehicle full time.
    He now owns his own property in Arizona with a mobile home on it. His own business customizing cars. No mortgage.
    He said, “when you don’t have to pay rent or mortgage the money just stacks.”
    A lot of young folks are looking at never being able to own their home, that they’ll be renters forever.
    You found the “hack.” You soon will be able to afford to buy property, put a “barndominium” on it or in a few more years but an already built custom home without taking out a mortgage!

    You seem to be an amazing person. I love everything about this video, and your voice is so cool and and soothing. You should consider making some ASMR video like reading a story or something that effect. I think it would be worth it. I mean I'm half way asleep listening to your voice. Anyway😅 I found you video, cause I wanted to do the same. Living humble and saving up. I am currently in my 5th apartment/house in 15 years with mold. Unfortunately it seems what I can affort, in not up to date and in 4 of them it was hidden under the floors, cuppards and walls. I get extremely ill from the exposure to the mold, and I have reached a point where it's too much for my spirit and finances. I've had roadtrips in my car before, so I have an idea what I'm getting myself into. And at this point it feels like freedom, to keeps it as simple as possible, and gives me a chance to save up for something better.
    I'm 51, from Denmark - yes my country has gone down hill also. Supposed to be a wellfare country, but there's no help here for my situation.
    Thanks for showing you life living in a car.
    Bless you🙏
