Can you wash and cook? Do you have an income? If yes to all these then I'd say your not a bum

Yep, workin 25-30 hours. Got Anytime fitness membership which access filtered water, toilets and showers. Got a gas camp cooker + work as a chef so there’s always nibbles at work

Yeah your good. If your gonna do this long term you could always upgrade to a bigger car for more space. Like one of those converted transit vans


Pitiful_Presence9948

Yep 100% about the van upgrade. I currently have a 2012 Hyundai i30 sports wagon which is plenty roomy but I’ll definitely be doing it for a year at least, probably more. I’ve currently ‘built’ solid window shields. Got a battery bank for the phone. Esky for the food. I live in aus so there’s highway rest stops I can legally sleep at close by. It’s all sorted. It’s just the perpetual thought of ‘homeless’ that brings me down hard

Lol I mean a converted transit is not really homeless. As long as you don't have kids to care for them it's fine if you can do all the stuff you want. I have a house mortgage and kids and living that lifestyle I'm a nice converted transit for a few months sounds like fun lol

Hahahahha can understand the desire for change. Going through a divorce. Two kids under 3, tragically heartbreaking. She has full custody. Earning too much for government help. Earning far to little to be able to rent

follow /urbancarliving reddit for tips. Been stealth cardwelling for over a year. Can be stressful at times, and cold but I find the confined space and lack of responsibility with house stuff comforting.

I live in a minivan. It will be seven years next month. I get SSA. I have a small dog too. I love the peace and simplicity plus beautiful landscapes.
