I currently have a bad engine mount, and have for a couple months. I haven’t been able to pay for it. But hopefully I can cover it soon before it becomes an issue. After I take care of that, I should be good to start saving again. And hopefully don’t have to keep repairing. It’s been a struggle and I don’t know how I’m still barely afloat.

I’m a single guy, still young, never married, no kids and I got a Master’s degree in IT. I’m staying with my parents but I just want move back out but inflation is terrible, especially with high rent. How do you make money while car camping? Did you do delivery gig apps, work remotely or had a regular job somewhere? Where did you park to go to sleep every day? How long did you do car camping for? Thanks. 👍🏻

Hey! What a great question! I worked and sleep in my works parking lot. I had to be real incognito. When I slept in the parking lot, I wore black and tried to real discreet. The factory was open 24hrs, so it wasn’t odd seeing cars in the parking lot overnight. Then saved enough to buy a property, switched to a remote Data Science job, lived in one room and rented out the other rooms. This allowed me to live for free. Hope that helps 🙏
