@@tenminutetokyo2643 The cities are a nice split between red/blue, there's plenty of good food, art, culture in all the smaller cities in America, there are LGBTQ folks in these areas too, and they are a tight community. All the kids who moved to NYC are returning to their hometowns and bringing good food and culture. People are generally less superficial, I find. Their families have lived in a town for generations and they are very down to earth and caring, while in the bigger cities everybody is just going past each-other in transit without building connections. They don't care about fancy cars or showing off, it's just about having a nice house and being a good neighbor. Much more space, greenery, diverse weather, less traffic, slower pace. Folks are very proud of what they have and the city invests heavily in their history, good museums, lots of people doing creative stuff, much easier to write a book or start a band and pay rent compared to NYC or LA. I spend a lot of time hanging out with the Anabaptists in the rural areas, very cool people who don't watch TV and aren't absorbed by shallow modern society.

how is the weather there in Wichita?

[@acjohn6995]

@@6955beniegn Winters aren't terrible like Wisconsin or Canada or something, might get a few inches of snow in a storm, summers are warm and slightly humid, but spring and fall are beautiful. When you get tired of winter, you can take a quick vacation down to florida for a week in January with all the money you save living here.

@@acjohn6995 Thanks. How about tornadoes? Are they statewide, or only in specific areas? I'm 52, I'm looking to retire somewhere in the next few yrs

[@Larrybird96]

as a fire fighter i bet you stay a big majority of you living time at the station , which means you only live probably part time in your truck

[@dillonkellybenitz7113]

I’d use that 225k to build like 4 “Tiny homes”. One to live in and the others to rent or use for an Airbnb’s. Boom now you got passive income + your job. Save more invest in real estate. And become rich.

Vlog! Even if you’re not in your truck anymore. I’m very interested in keeping up with your humor and experiences.

[@scotth9133]

Bro, how about an update? Way to leave us hanging..

[@srabes8742]

Roth IRA, 15 year fixed, this guy must listen to Dave ramsey

[@TheHomelessFirefighter]

Dave's the man. Have a good day.

[@NomadicAstro]

We’ve become such fans of yours Sam. We’ve followed your journey since 2 years ago. I think I speak for everyone here that your dry humor and unique approach has won all of us over. Hope that hotdog spear is still serving you well. We’re still checking back this last 10 months you’ve been gone. Give us an update at some point. My little nephew specially would be stoked.

[@petere.9138]

If this is “goodbye” I’m gonna come by the station every night and say “Gosh!! Sure is quiet tonight huh???!!”

[@XxlookupXx]

Hahah dick move but in this case worth it

Thats just mean dude. But I understand.

[@Asterik103]

1:28 the best

[@JohnDoe-qs1ru]

Haha, a real man of his word. Rare on KZbin. When he's done, he's done.

[@basuragone384]

I especially appreciated your note about people on IG portraying car living as munching on avocado toast next to gorgeous sunsets and beaches :) Reality is more like peeing in bottles and shitting in bags in the middle of the night and feeling like a fugitive when you simply try to get some shut eye because it's illegal to sleep in your car in many parts of CA and other states.

"Now everybody's going to tell you that you need to run and buy a house, but everybody's broke!" No truer words have been spoken. Dude- You gotta call into Dave Ramsey!

[@catolicohispanistayconservador]

This guy sounds like he's the Forest Gump's brother... his monotone voice and his succes in yt is encouraging me to persue my dreams! Thank you for that!.
