I'm Homeless But I'm Happy 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.


Please tell me how u all feel about my lifestyle.

I'm just trying 2 see why they are criticizing me for the way I live.

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.

Your trading security/a home for a larger disposable income.. I'm sure for them this doesn't make any sense, warranting (for them) criticism.


I wanna know how do u guys feel about me living like this.

I also don't have any desire

So what do you really want from us?

We (Christians) are to be good stewards for what we have been given. It sounds as if you wish to spend your earned money on having a good time rather than being responsible with your money.

Your life style is really very dangerous, and you need too many things that a car cannot give you. You need a home, a nest, and many commodities that you don’t have the way you live. Where do you have your bath? Where do you wash your clothes? I mean… the way you live is too problematic. If you were camping for a while, it would be ok, but this is not a way to lead a life…

I understand how you feel about your parents, but they are merely human beings, full of mistakes. They are not perfect, and this is why they are wrong in so many points that we would have to analyze too many things if we wanted to understand how really wrong they are.

However, you are wrong too, in many other points. Don’t be so strange. Don’t think that by doing things your own way, you can succeed. You are too young and too ignorant.

You cannot live trying to escape from all bills… If you won’t work and have a decent house, you won’t be able to marry and have a family… many things.

I believe that you must be humble and understand that perhaps your father doesn’t want to have you in his company, because there are many problems there, and he wishes to see you working in another field, so that you’ll be independent. You ignore many things.

I’m not saying that your parents could be correct, because it is obvious that they are not, if you are far from them. I’m only explaining you that many times we take conclusions that are far from the truth, because we ignore too much.

Live like a common human being and be humble. Study, work, and fight for what you desire in life. Life is not a toy.

Be careful! There are so many dangers here! You need protection, and safety.

I think maybe getting into prayer and asking Jesus how to live your life is the best answer.
Jesus is Truth.
Reading slowly and carefully and prayerfully the bible will renew our minds to think like Jesus.

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.


The bible says to not be conformed to this world but rather be transformed by the washing of the Word.
Jesus is the Word.
Prayer and reading the bible.
Trusting Jesus.
Surrendering to Jesus.
Seeking first the kingdom of God .
Pouring out all of our cars to Jesus because Jesus cares for us.
Jesus is our Refuge and our Fortess
Jesus meets our needs and makes all things new including our hearts.
Jesus is the Living Water
the Good Shepherd
Jesus gives us hope and a future
Jesus leads us beside still waters and restores our soul
Jesus gives us strength
Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and deliver the captive and to set at liberty those who are bruised.
Jesus says come to Me all ye who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

All the things the flesh seeks after will never give us rest or heal our hearts or teach us truth or comfort us or set us free,they never satisfy.
It is all fake and ultimately hurts us.

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.


That must be very painful for you and I am sorry you suffered as a child.Parents should care ,but some do not.It hurts to feel neglected and uncared for ,it hurts deeply.
But Jesus cares and heals .
Jesus says he that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.
Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Life
When we surrender to Jesus and believe and trust in Jesus,He makes all things new.

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.


Jesus can heal us deep in our inner most beings and wants to heal us.
He invites us to come to Him for healing and rest.
He wants us to come to Him for salvation.
He wants to be our Lord and Saviour,
our Good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep.
He wants to lead us beside still waters and restore our soul.

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.

Jesus can heal the relationship and your heart.Tell Him all about your hurts,He knows anyway,He wants you to come to Him for comfort and healing and rest.

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.

Jesus gives us a peace that passes understanding and a joy the world cannot take away and genuine love.This does not mean our lives have no trials or problems just that Jesus comforts us and leads us and we have peace and rest in the midst of them.Jesus can change us and make all things new if we come to Him.He is mighty to save and delights in mercy and is moved with compassion.

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.

Jesus is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother.He knows we live in the world but does not want us to comform to the world.Love people yet not partake in things that are wrong.Things that harm us.


Please tell me how u all feel about my lifestyle.

I think surrendering to Jesus is the answer.
He wants to give you hope and a future.
To lead you beside still waters and to restore your soul

Thank u. I wish more people were like u and could understand my way of living. I have a purpose for the lifestyle I live. I'm doing what I do not only to have money but to free myself and hopefully others from oppression. U see working for the purpose of paying bills is part of the manipulation of society and it causes economic oppression. Its bad enough that everyone in America can't make a good amount of money. So what I'm doing is increasing the value of my dollars. Spending a majority of what u have on bills is basically like you're working to make others rich. I wanna enjoy my money just like rich people.

This whole system of economics was introduced to this land by those demonic settlers who came over here and killed the Native Americans. They introduced economics so that they dominate and oppress people. Gone is the freedom of surviving by your own means and the whole community living good, now people got to work for low wages and make a small percent of the population rich while a great portion of the community struggle

Please tell me how u all feel about my lifestyle.


What? To each their own. I went - by choice - homeless for short times in my twenties, and I also went the blue collar route/live in economy apartment for a very long time.

I didn't have any grudges about my parents when doing so, and hope you do not.

(We have an obligation to give up all grudges to God, so God will forgive us every debt.)


If you really believe you can do that without danger, why not.


If you do not have to and it is a dangerous neighborhood you might be putting God to the test, really depends on your perspective.


I didn't have any problem believing God would provide me food and shelter, and He did...


But, I was also celibate at the time and not even thinking about women. Being homeless is no way to raise children. When I lost my gift of celibacy, I studied for a career, and quickly got into a good one.


It is all by one's faith... obviously, one's own relatives are not going to share your faith and not even give you the respect complete strangers will.


I think it is a great life lesson... what we have is never "outside", it is in our hearts.


And friends are the only ones we can share it with.

You are really judging a lot of people there.

That is a great number of people you don't personally know and surely don't have the full facts on whom you are sitting in judgment of. That includes to anyone whom you might be paying bills to, apparently.


Actually, America and the rest of the free world are full of a lot of great Christians. True, people really have a hard time making ends meet, yet a countless number do.

The poverty rate here is nothing like it is in China or Saudi Arabia... and our general standard of living even for those in the lowest income brackets is extremely high -- they tend to have food, houses, even cars, television, good school, heating and air conditioning, toilets, cold milk, soft beds, and so on.


As for Native Americans, there were some slaughters and some bad stuff. I bet your relatives did some horrible stuff. I don't account you guilty for the sins of your relatives or ancestors. Why on earth would I judge you for what your dad did, for instance? Or, should you be judged for your dad's sins? That would be absurd and unfair.

(And those who think God does that are wrong, God showed through Jesus that the Pharisees called themselves children of those who murdered the prophets so they were judged for their sins because they accepted them.)

I know it can be hard on the streets and easy to say, "Well, look at all of those people, who notices me?" or "Who throws me a dollar" and such. Or notice how people give you disapproving looks and such, and then judge them back. One can feel alienated. But, you have to resist that nonsense.


Knowledge - "knowledge" - which leads you to sitting in condemnation of others really isn't knowledge at all -- and it definitely is not freedom.


Freedom is about not having to judge anyone at all and accepting people as they are, who they are... whether they have rings in their noses or are wearing a business suit.



I would suggest trying to be more merciful in your judgments of people. From what you are writing about your knowledge of history, it is very one sided and not very well read at all, which is to be expected from someone who is young.


I also hate to break this to you... but kids have a real hard time breaking away from their parents, even if they rebel. I mean psychologically. So, I see a lot of people raised by Pharisee sorts become outwardly different: alternative lifestyles and such... but inwardly they act the same way in some cases. They get into the whole business of condemnation and judgment just like their parents did. Just they do it from the other angle.


Hopefully, you aren't that way, though you do seem focused on your parents. I don't recall ever complaining about my parents when I went voluntarily homeless or voluntarily poor... I even had spiritual people accuse them, "They have dumped you" and I defended them.


(Because what I did was my choice.)


As for being resentful for your parents... sounds like an issue to deal with.


Life is too short to be resentful against anyone.

Or hold any grudges.

Heaven and grudges do not mix.


At all.

Its not that I'm trying to convert people to my lifestyle, I'm just trying to get people to do what they got to do in order to rebel against this unfair economic oppression people are facing now. If we just find ways not to pay for certain things like houses and hopefully one day cars and gas, then we can force companies to lower their prices or everyone can just learn how to build a house and car and that will save a lot of money

Personally the homeless thing isn't a huge deal to me, did it ever occur to you that Jesus was homeless during His ministry?

The thing is you sound like you are being irresponsible. And not a good steward with what God has given you. Anything you get is more than you deserve, and if you are faithful in little, you will be faithful with much.

You sound like you want to have fun, and not be a responsible person. You're happy, great for you. The issues I see is that you are ridiculing your parents for being stingy with their money, when you're being stingy with your's. If you truly trust the Lord, then wherever your money goes, is where the Lord wants it.

I could understand if you had a reason for serving the Lord, but you don't.

I can only speak for myself but I think in our society there are some very "odd birds" who just simply don't fit into our modern system. If you are one of those and would be happy living a different kind of life outside the established "rules" I obviously can't deceide. All I can do is share alittle bit of my own story.

I myself struggled for a number of years after finishing school with what to do with my life. In the end I deceided to follow a path which I quess is looked down upon by most people. However it felt right to me.

I have something called schizoid personality disorder(got nothing to do with delusions, just a name for a personality type). It's in short a term for someone who lacks the "hardwired needs" normal people have for social interaction and bounding. I am happiest when all alone. In fact haven't socialized with someone outside a few close family members for many many years, probably seven or so, can't remember exactly.
My view on this existence is we have made things overly complicated. Careers, fancy cars and clothes etc, none of those things matter to me. All I want out of this life is being a human being. Running over a green field, sitting by a warm fire, watching the sunset, sleep. I desire nothing.

My views could best be described as primitivism, a desire to turn back the clock to a time when we humans lived as hunter gatherers. I don't own much and I live way, way below the poverty line here in Sweden but it doesn't matter to me. I don't want to confine myself to the mess of a system us humans have built up as we have evolved our societies. I would rather be viewed as an unemployed loser then conform to a way of life I think is fake.

In short for people like me, we don't fit into the hectic career driven lifestyle that is 2009. I don't have a drive to gather material wealth or finding love(my personality "disorder" prevents me from experience that). In the old times I would be the strange hermit living up in the mountains.
We are all different, it's all about finding what is right for you. Living a life without hurting others or yourself and in the end before you take your final breath feeling like you where true to yourself.

I quess these are some strange words and viewpoints but it's in essence who I am. I can not feel shame for being born the way I was. I am happier now at 30 then every before.

If you are one of those and would be happy living a different kind of life outside the established "rules" I obviously can't deceide. All I can do is share alittle bit of my own story.

I myself struggled for a number of years after finishing school with what to do with my life. In the end I deceided to follow a path which I quess is looked down upon by most people. However it felt right to me.

I have something called schizoid personality disorder(got nothing to do with delusions, just a name for a personality type). It's in short a term for someone who lacks the "hardwired needs" normal people have for social interaction and bounding. I am happiest when all alone. In fact haven't socialized with someone outside a few close family members for many many years, probably seven or so, can't remember exactly.
My view on this existence is we have made things overly complicated. Careers, fancy cars and clothes etc, none of those things matter to me. All I want out of this life is being a human being. Running over a green field, sitting by a warm fire, watching the sunset, sleep. I desire nothing.

My views could best be described as primitivism, a desire to turn back the clock to a time when we humans lived as hunter gatherers. I don't own much and I live way, way below the poverty line here in Sweden but it doesn't matter to me. I don't want to confine myself to the mess of a system us humans have built up as we have evolved our societies. I would rather be viewed as an unemployed loser then conform to a way of life I think is fake.

In short for people like me, we don't fit into the hectic career driven lifestyle that is 2009. I don't have a drive to gather material wealth or finding love(my personality "disorder" prevents me from experience that). In the old times I would be the strange hermit living up in the mountains.
We are all different, it's all about finding what is right for you. Living a life without hurting others or yourself and in the end before you take your final breath feeling like you where true to yourself.

I quess these are some strange words and viewpoints but it's in essence who I am. I can not feel shame for being born the way I was. I am happier now at 30 then every before.

Sounds like we are a lot alike. Me personally, I would have liked to have lived in the Native American society. Heck, I wish life was still like that now so we wouldn't have people living in poverty

I'm Homeless But I'm Happy 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.


Please tell me how u all feel about my lifestyle.

Sounds interesting! Im not against that lifestyle at all in fact I like the idea of freedom like that. I say live your life to the fullest. Though I do hope you settle someday in a nice comfortable home... I do get how you feel though... Sometimes the rules of life (the same old road) seem to destroy our unique way in creating our lives. Like another poster here said Ive always been very drawn to the older times when life was much more free. God Bless!

Well what i think is there isn't really anything wrong with. It's better to be happily living with little money, than to be greedy with lots of money and unhappy. But personally, I would check with God to make sure that's how he wants you to live.
The way I see it isn't that big of a deal how your living, but so much more important to have a good relationship with and be completly surrendered to him. If your putting your lifestyle before God, then that should be a sure sign that that something isn't right.
anyways, goodluck in your life!
God bless :angel:
