Homeless: Living in Your Car Is The New Normal

[@JourneyOfCin]

i was spending 1700-2k a month on rent IM OVER IT!! I'm in so much debt and have no much anxiety. they're about to take my car but i rather move into my car & get rid of my place than go without a car.

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Hi Cinna 😊 yea I feel your pain believe me. And I’m sorry that your going through this but it will all work out…it’s all a matter of time…it’s really sad that we are the richest country in the world but yet so many people are struggling 😔

[@apatheticmillennialChannel]

I completely agree. I got so tired of living hand to mouth. Rent and bills took all of my money, if I was lucky I'd have $300 at the end of the month. Converted my compact sedan into a camper with all the luxuries of an RV. And I'm so happy that I did because I was laid off 2 months ago. I was able to go on vacation for the first time in years!

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Hi apathetic 😃That was smart, this way you can save tons of money…oh I’m sorry to hear that you were laid off 😣 these companies have no loyalty anymore…well at least you were able to take a vacation…I hope you can find another job real soon

[@apatheticmillennialChannel]

@@shambrinalove2186 Exactly! I'm also living in a hyundai! I shower in the guy and put a shower in my car for emergencies. But my quality of life has increased so much living in my car. I don't volunteer that I live in my car, but I don't lie about it once I get to know people. Luckily I haven't had anyone judge me fore it, they're more so worried about saftey. But some of them say they would do it too if they were single and didn't have any kids.

I make great money and my last apartment rent was $3,000 per month. I was looking to renew my lease and I realized, I'm never home. Between work and the gym. I have to say me six months in and love the freedom. I go around bragging to everyone about it. You honestly realize you can live happily with a lot less stuff.

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Hi Brian 😄 you can’t put a price on freedom that’s why when my job went remote last year I started traveling 🧳 because I would rather have peace of mind vs being attached to stuff 🤩

[@colincroft4540]

I'm living in the hood for $1535 a month on a renewed lease. I've realized my mistake but it's giving me 12 months to plan my car living lifestyle out. I told my mom and was immediately told I'd get attacked, robbed, and shot. To pay that $1535 each month to myself is worth it, in my opinion.

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Hi Collin 😊 wow $1535 that’s insane…well those 12 months will go by fast…to be paying that much and not feeling safe sucks but it will all work out…just hang in there…😄

[@JourneyOfCin]

isn't it crazy?? it's like $1800 for an apartment in the ghetto in denver !! crazzzyyy im over it . i'm moving into my car next week when my lease is up. I was paying $1500 and i have a roommate!! i rather just sleep in my car and save that money!!

[@SummerShandy]

Did you respond to your mom and let her know that you're also at risk of being attacked, robbed, and/or shot while living in the hood? I guess mom doesn't realize that living in your vehicle could be about the same if that's what her concern is.

[@yellowbird5411]

@@SummerShandy Living in a car, you can park in much better neighborhoods where crime is very low. Living in a house doesn't keep us from being victims of crime.

[@SummerShandy]

​@@yellowbird5411 that's a good point about parking in better neighborhoods. And I agree that living in a house doesn't keep people from being victims of crime. That statement speaks to the point that I was trying to make....it doesn't matter where she lives, she can still be a victim of crime. Yet her mom was making it like having a roof over her head in the hood was safer than living in her vehicle ANY place. It's like the argument people make that online dating is so dangerous because you don't know who those people are and they could be telling you anything. But we've seen TONS of cases of people having met someone in person, at church, through friends, while at the grocery story, etc, and it turned out to be a dangerous situation because who they showed them wasn't who they really were. So no situation is any safer than the other. Anything could happen in a house or while living in one's vehicle. And anything could happen with a person you met online or in person. Life happens.

Starting slowly, maybe on the weekends, to get a feel for what you need, and if it's the right thing for you. Give yourself time to find safe parking, and outfitting your car with the proper window shades and personal belongings. Visit your local gyms and check out their prices for showers and exercise. Watch videos on YT for some tips and tricks. Talk to other vehicle dwellers to find out information on places to park in the areas you want to be. There are maps and recommendations online for campgrounds and free parking spaces. Good luck.

[@meggrotte4760]

I gotta be really honest One of the reasons I left the country twenty years ago was because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make it Having a stress disorder and not being able to drive I lived in california. So when I just graduated, I went oversee to teach I had all these student loans It worked out because i'm a self supported christian missionary. Where I live, the government doesn't spend like they do. In america. If I had to judge, it seems like there's no accountability on the federal or local level. Local levels when it comes to spending. The truth is we could have ended homelessness forty years ago It's really sad because america was once a great nation It influenced three of the countries i've lived in. Somewhere along We just stop doing the right thing for the people. It's not to say there aren't good people in america there are Our government needs an overhaul It needs to be run by people who want to see americans not live in poverty This goes beyond the american dream if a society can't help its people function.There is a problem For years, I kept why we couldn't have good public transportation, Contrary to popular belief, not everybody can drive. Not everyone can afford to have a car You shouldn't be paying fifty dollars round trip for an Uber. I'm just saying something's wrong People blamed on capitalism, but this is not the issue Japan, korea, and taiwan, they all function on capitalism They have pretty good economies. Generally speaking, the amount of homelessness is quite low And what is this thing with working 3 jobs?I couldn't believe it when I moved back here. Eagles to say i'm going back to where I was before. It didn't take me eighteen months to find a job there. You know i've been praying for america the last twenty years, but since I came back here, i've been praying even more. You know it's funny so I can continue to pay my student loans.

​@@DriftinN2FreedomI wouldn't call that freedom. It's more like cognitive dissonance... I assume you would rather have a place of your own but your financial situation prevents you from doing that. So to cope and save money you've decided to live in your car, not ideal, but doable. To rationalize and justify your situation you make a video ( to help earn extra money) trying to normalize living in your car. This isnt normal.. it's a decision made due to lack of financial freedom which necessitates being in survival mode which is highly stressful. If you were a nomadic gypsy living in a caravan.. I would believe you b/c it's their way of life. However, you're an American down on your luck, trying make ends meet. I'm not convinced your free. Good luck.

Hotel/motel parking lots are the best places, after dark there are many cars in the lots and most don't have security that will run you out.

Thats is true 😊

[@yellowbird5411]

Cars need to be set up for your comfort and convenience. If you were cold it was because you didn't have the proper sleeping bag or comforters to keep you warm. You were uncomfortable because however you were sleeping was not adequate. People who take to living in their cars usually take the passenger seat out and make a bed from front to back on a platform of some kind. There is a lot to living in a car for long periods, because cars weren't designed for sleeping. At least unless your seat folds all the way back. I had a mustang whose back seats folded flat. Wonderful car for camping. Never used it for that, but those are some of the features you might look for.

Hi Eggman 😊 Thats why you always have to have a plan, a side hustle (I’m working on one as we speak) because you can’t depend on one stream of income 🤩 if you want to know about the address situation, food etc I have plenty of other videos that go into details

[@Alaric-u9i]

Good video 👍

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Thank you sooooo much 🤩

[@ThatsSheShe]

That is the answer. We have to understand that they need our money just like we need what they have to offer. If we stop spending money on certain things they will go under.

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Hello ThatsSheShe 😊 that is so true..if people spent less money on things they didn’t need then this country would be doomed or the government would just go and spend more money 🤯

[@ThatsSheShe]

@DriftinN2Freedom it just pure greed. The housing goes up apt. go up, storages go up. It's all by design to keep people feeling hopeless. Just think everything that GOD gave us for free man has found a way to charge us. GOD gave us fruit and vegetables, meats, fish, the earth, water, and air. They have polluted it all and then want to charge us for it. The thing about it is all of that greed, but they can't take any of it with them. A lot of these people claim to be Christians. How can you get joy watching your own brothers and sisters suffering? The bible says GOD is love. And love is supposed to be a fruit of the Holy Spirit. And people want to say that we all are serving the same GOD. That just can not be true.

If you are a solo truck driver and life is getting too real live out of your truck, there are plenty of truck stops and rest areas to spend the night at. Just a suggestion.

Most people dont realize you can travel much of the world for less than the cost of a 1 bedroom in ameriKa...work hard get your passport up...for example i started staying in Hostels for $10 a night in Colombia Moldova Romania Egypt Ethiopia Kenya Panama etc,,,sometimes its $15 a night...food costs are much lower and organic...my advise is get creative but dont get traped on the hamster wheel year round in ameriKa...do your research enjoy life because solutions exist 😊

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Hi demanda 😊 staying with your daughter...nothing wrong with that 🤩 converting a shuttle bus 🚌 into a home could work but only if your handy and can do some of the work yourself…but if you need to come out of pocket..yea I would wait maybe until you save enough money…I’m pretty sure it will all work out 😆

[@DriftinN2Freedom]

Hi Official 😄 if you can find a place where you can pay cash up front, I would say go that right but you want to make sure that the car has been fully inspected because you don’t want to end up with a lemon and on the other hand you don’t want a monthly car note..so I would say do your research and you should be fine.

Yea it was strange at first and scary but once you start finding places to sleep at night and feel safe in those areas it becomes easier and always make sure to have multiple spots because you never want to stay in one spot for a long period of time…just for safety

[@Matrix333-o5e]

I have been living in my SUV for 2 months and i will tell you the most challenging part is the heat in the summer

[@Grandmasvanlife]

I figure I can stay at my job most of the time. I’m the manager so it will make it a little easier. I can utilize the plugs outside. I have a portable air conditioner and a Jackery with solar. I really am prepared but still have butterflies. I know I’ll be ok. I don’t require much room or material things. I think I have been through every emotion possible at this point. I’ve learned so much from watching van life videos,the good and the bad. But it is what it is at this point. Thank you everyone. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated.
