Whats up guys? OK check out my situation. I don't have a house or apartment 2 live in. I stay in city parks and sleep in my car. I use a car power inverter for electricity. I also use outlets in parks for electricity. I still deal with women ( more on that later ) I'm homeless but I'm happy. Hopefully I can inspire people who make low income.
Now some may say that this is insanity, but I say its pleasure. How? u may ask. Because I don't have any bills 2 pay. Its a headache having 2 give your hard earned cash to landlords and utility companies. I keep a fair amount of money plus I don't have to worry about having to wait too long to save up just in case of a car emergency. I get to have fun everyday because I can shop how I want to, eat what I want to, and go hang out like I want to at clubs, bars, and any other social events.
My family seem to have a problem with this. They say that this is foolish and dangerous. They feel that I can easily get killed by staying in parks and sleeping in a car. Well here is how I feel, my family never really cared too much about me anyway. My parents didn't raise me right, I wasn't eating properly when I was a child. They didn't spend a whole lot of time with me. They didn't show me how to be a good person. They just didn't care.
And guess what, my dad is a millionaire. And he's a deacon in the church. He just never cared about supporting me financially even when I was a child. I know that was messed up, but I'm a let God deal with him with that situation. I hardly even go 2 my parents house. I honestly wouldn't care if he died.
Now pay attention to something. If u notice, I'm not complaining about how my dad doesn't help me out. I'm simply handling my situaution on my own even though it may be extreme. I'm aware that my dad could have just gave me some money to go to college or he could have just gave me a job at his business, but I'm not complaining. I'm just trying 2 see why they are criticizing me for the way I live. I don't even talk about this situaution with my parents, I just know they don't like how I'm living because my Grandma told me. I don't even answer the phone if my Mom or dad calls me.
I only make about $1,500 a month, so I don't want a house or apartment because the bills will eat up my money. I wanna know how do u guys feel about me living like this. U got to think about it, giving all your money to landlords and utility companies is misery. Being able to spend your money how u want to is pure pleasure.
I don't have any desire for a luxury house and I also don't have any desire
for people accepting and respecting me. The reason I say this is because I know that some people will think that I'm foolish 4 this. But I don't care. What does another person's perspective of me have 2 do with my happiness. Also, God has blessed me with true friends who don't mind the way I live.
That's interesting. You must have found out some secret about not having a place to sleep that no one else has figured out then, because I certainly don't remember being homeless as a great experience. I remember the trouble of finding somewhere to sleep, I remember the looks I would get from people who pass by, I remember the feeling of hopelessness I would have every moment of every day.
How do you shower? I'm sure that no one at your workplace wants a smelly bum working with them. How do you get online? With no luxury, you certainly don't have a computer. Where do you put your clothing?

U know for someone who's on a Christian web site, u sure seem like a cold hearted person. Not that it would matter because I don't live to impress people. U do know that there are gyms with showers right. And didn't I tell u that I hang out at coffee houses that have free Wi-Fi internet. I keep my clothes in my car.
When my roommate left when I was 19 I thought I was going to be homeless and I didn't make much more than you (about $1800/month). Fortunately I lived in a cheap city and found a small apartment for about $400 and utilities weren't much. I'm really not sure I could handle living out of my car, but I find your story inspiring. I don't have much of a desire to live lavishly either. Right now I live in a trailer that I'm buying for $8000, and my car cost $8600 so maybe you're on to something. I can't stand to ad any monthly payments as more than half of my income right now is disposable and I want to keep it that way. I am a bit of a social person though. I believe we were created for community and I need to surround myself with a handful of good friends to be happy. I am curious, like NT said, how you handle hygiene issues or go to the bathroom? I work in a factory and we have showers in the bathrooms for people that don't want to go home hot and sweaty, but I really couldn't see myself using those all the time, and in my drinking days I learned park equipment doesn't make a good toilet when the fuzz is around.

2. what is a car power inverter? how does it work?
It turns your cigarette lighter into a 110v outlet. I picked one up at a truckstop awhile back to keep my laptop powered on a trip to Ohio. I think it cost around $35. I learned the hard way that they'll run your battery down in a heartbeat, even if you're idling. I had to charge the laptop while driving and it would be charged by the time I got to a truckstop with WiFi.
It looks something like this:

Just because I'm a person of faith doesn't mean I have to be all lovey-dovey. Especially when you're talking highly about a lifestyle I had to live through through myself which was one of my worst experiences in life and speaking of it as an enjoyable lifestyle. Though you do have one thing I didn't when I was homeless: money.

So let me guess, you're one of those uptight Christians who doesn't believe in happiness and having a good time. U might wanna change your character because God doesn't like strict and miserable people. I ain't trying to start nothing with u, but u have no right to hate me because I'm enjoying my homeless life and u didn't enjoy yours. If I got 2 be homeless to have money then then thats what I have 2 do. Being broke is miserable
You ask a question like that and then get all "oh you didn't tell me what I want to hear" on a guy who answers your Q . . .. I ain't saying anything about your lifestyle but your thread is weak.

Funny how u think how u can insult me. You're nothing to me. But anyways, it ain't about me wanting people to tell me what I wanna hear, I'm just asking people there view on it to start a conversation. If someone doesn't agree, then they shouldn't act like they hate me or that they are above me. If someone disagrees with my lifestyle, then they should give their opinion in a respectful way
