Dude what are you doing. Even if you're just a front-end dev you should be able to get over six figures whether you're a contractor, freelancer, or full-time.
This would be great if you could travel but if you have a job you have to stay near your work and park in Wal-Mart parking lots to sleep. Still better than paying rent though

been living on a sailing boat for a good 2 years now and don’t regret it.
I don’t owe any jews. Total monthly expenses around $1.5k a month on the high side. This is in the sf Bay Area.
How big is the boat? Is it better than living in a van? I'm moving out of my parents house and am going to either buy a sale boat or a van to live in.
yeet
You ought to get something more liveable and comfortable with that kind of money, like a real live aboard bus. You're going to need and want storage space, and the bus has all of that.

This shit aint difficult fella just movie out of commieland
It’s a beneteau 43.
It’s fitted out as a cruiser boat since I intend on sailing around the world for 2 years. It’s like living in a studio apartment. I got all amenities except laundry. I wouldn’t advise getting a sail boat unless you know how to sail. especially one of this size.
What?
VAN LIFE BRO! LIVING THE DREAM!
Living in the car means pretty much homeless. Might as well apply to get all the gibs and collect neetbux. But depends where you live, in NYC hobos are showered on gibs.
And work were? At the coal mines?
If there was work for me outside of California that isn’t New York I would.
glad that's working for you. i was able to buy a comfy condo (with showers) for 1 year's worth of salary. i dont regret my choice
You cant park that shit anywhere in the city kek
I like it, problem is that this costs as much as a decent small house.
>the dream has gone from a nice house in the suburbs to living out of a car
F
pretty good idea desu
This meme unironically makes me want to go drink a monster
i have a pickup RV tricked out too, but it's for post-hurricane evacuations
I'm thinking the monster company is pushing it.
Definitely buy property if you can, this is just while I get a 5 bedroom house with a big backyard.
Right on. Here in the docks near Berkeley as well. Kike-free and comfy.
so like an apartment, but with almost no space and less security? neat.

>move to literally any other state
>get paid 35k to do the same job
fake meme
Why buy some small shitty Toyota? I can have this for over 2000$. You can repair it with a hammer and it climbs everywhere.
>pay $600 for 2 bedroom apartment
So you're still living cheaper and keeping more of your money.
Where do you park to avoid cops and nigs?
A Toyota wat?
You cant own a current hiace in the USA. it hasnt passed safety and toyota doesn't bring them here.
I'd like one and know I could get one from mexico and bring it here but i know the DMV would fucking fucked, mate, big time
What do you do when temperature go below -20.
I mean, in Poland winter can kill you. It might happen over night or long term you catch cold, flu and it wear you down.
How do you heat this kind of home ?
23 y/o tech here. It’s better to get a small place for now, you should be focusing on being out the house as much as you can. Get a cheap, used car with good gas mileage. Shallow materialism doesn’t make you wealthy, you don’t need a BMW to get from point A to point B.
My time outside of work besides upkeeping social connections is focused on developing my own products to increase streams of revenue, and increasing my skill set with valuable skills and certifications that make me even more valuable to the job market.
Billionaires don’t wear Versace or flashy clothes. They wear white t shirts and $40 jeans. That’s not be accident or uncorrelated. Bless to you young guys focused on the path of success.
It depresses me to see white people living in vehicles, you don't see indians, asians and jews doing that shit do you :(
why do they put their toilet on top of their table?
temperatures don't get that low in Silicon Valley. it never goes below freezing there
My neighbor imported one from Japan. He has it registered with no issues and we live in fuckin commiefornia
>you catch cold, flu and it wear you down.
Top kek. Wtf? You people still die of a cold or flu in your nation?
I see indians, asians and jews trapped in debt and killing their wives in front of their children before bankruptcy and everything collapses
Wtf, thats where I live. What model year does he own?
Well that's living on easy mode lol
Makes me wonder when this people discover ships, which can actually make decent home. No offence to truck owners
I like having privacy in the bathroom.
It's much better to take a shit when no one is around to hear you. Plus, does anyone really want to live in a van for longer than a year?
houseboats are a much higher buy in than a van, and reserving a dock is pricier than a parking spot
Your pic is a VW Vanagon. If you want real living, get a VW Westfalia instead. It's a house on wheels. And as we like to say "it's not a car, it's a cult".
No us boomers are pushing it to mock millennials for being retarded
What degree u have? I want to work with low level stuff but I am already 2n year in Computer Science and dont really wanna do a EE degree.
Is that a computer engineering?
>does anyone want to live longer than a year in a van
I often pondered this, as I would like to live the Mobil life.
If i found the resturants in each location that have cable tv and dont mind me sitting there longer than 3 hours, i think od be fine
Medicine and doctors have nothing to do with that. All of it is in place. But if you want to live on road it will catch with you sooner then later. I mean if you got 3-4 months in a year below 0 you have to be prepared for it.
Bottom line you must keep heat on level since my question.
I worked in business intelligence and attempted to live in a cabin cruiser for a year.
Pros
>Saved 6k that year
>Wicked parties in the summer with like 20 people
>I'm fond of sailing so nice just to cast off on the weekends
Cons
>Cramped
>Had to use marina house to shit and shower
>Got really hot and really cold
>When it rained it was miserable
I wouldn't recommend it.
Just get wifi and stream your shows.
Cable is 99% commercial and you'd be watching Fox, ESPN or CNN all day.
I lived in old Mercedes van for four years,
Saved a shit load of money,
All you need is a bed in the back of your van and a 24 hour fitness subscription for showering and shitting
You also save a lot more money because you don't need shit because you have no space to place it
If you're a outdoor person its a fantastic lifestyle,
But 30 yo boomers won't like it (only in big RV's that cost as much as a house)
I'm planning on selling my home and hitting the road again
So would you agree living in a hotel for 3 months until the weather improves would be a good strategy?
where poop?
The only reason I mention tv is because a bar or resturant would be an escape from the solitary confinement of a van for a while.
see For pooping options
Then what's the point ? Get a proper home and if you like outdoor in summer go on holiday sailing or under tent.
I don't know about some warm countries, there it might work. But where I live that will not work.
Street or sea
t. pro shitter
Im US based if I lived in Czech Id prolly live in a tank. I use a New Hiace since those dont break down and are good on gas.
Thr point is saving money. I had no idea how uninhabitable Poland was.
Im sorry you dont have more favorable living conditions, lad.
>not living on a boat
>not networking with your fellow techfags in the marina during a Giants game
Enjoy your van bro.
I kinda need to be near building for near limitless wifi. If im too far off ill have to resort to data plus I can park anywhere and eat anywhere
Instead of living like a fucking animal, why not share an apartment with someone, all students, or people who came to my city do it.
Or stay with your parents until you can actually move out. Cause you fags are crazy about moving away from parents and sometimes are doing some stupid shit because of that.
Then again, who am I to judge, my parents bought me a flat.
>left sideboob check
>right sideboob chek
>no underboob
shame was so close, only superior japanese girls know how to allaround boob, just buy a small bikini
Please explain to me how any person higher than 100cm can sleep there comfortably.
Move to Huntsville, AL and work on embedded systems for Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc building the latest and greatest for the Army. Even entry-level pay around 70-80k would be equivalent to about 130-140k in SF.

>make $55k a year

>making equity off friends while living super comfy
>wonder why retarded op is living such shitty life...must be low iq
depends on the van really. I get one that is kind of discrete. You can stand up on some vans especially on small food trucks
House in LA or SF is like 650k for 3 edrooms
>Make 70k base
>Oops Bay Area
>Get 2004 Roadtrek 190 just a hair over 30k
>A year later van paid off, no rent, 25k in the bank, enjoying the van life
Gonna get a laptop with 4G LTE next and finally install the solar panels I bought awhile ago.
that van looks badass dude
There some 2 or 3 bedroom houses in SF for 800k+ but nothing in the 6-700k range.
you clearly have no fucking idea what you're talking about
Not as reliable or as fuel efficient as a Hiace though
>millennials are so fucked they're resorting to living out of their cars
when will enough be enough?
You're gonna stick out like a sore thumb. You need something like pic related so people don't bug you about where you park
Thanks user. I posted a google pic out of paranoia but mine the same. Roadtreks are great machines and mine is fully loaded.
Only two more years before we run out of social security funds and REAAALLLLLY go to shit lolz till then ill be super comfy and rich in my van
does the Toyota Hiace use the same V8 engine as the Toyota Tundra?
I bought an old houseboat and built up on it. Solar, rain collection, full kitchen, even gotta jacuzzi in that bitch now. Kind of a pussy palace.
Rent is 200 month
AMA faggots
I could never go your route tho OP, car living is too close to homelessness for me.
it IS homelessness
I'm sleeping in my car right now and this shit sucks ass. I rely on Starbucks and coffee shops for internet access. Occasionally I hotspot on my phone but you run out of battery very quickly.
True, but the Chevy Express van is pretty good overall.
I have a special parking situation, but for most anons any high top van would be fine. Maybe a Ford Transit.
Living in a van can be fun and all but you can kiss your love life goodbye, that's for sure.
You guys can get roommates etc.. just like Gen-X had too.
Employment?
dress like a student
have a backpack with a power strip inside
just go to a library or some other place and plop it on the floor, plug it in and charge all of your shit
the thing that sucked about living in your car was that food was more expensive, at least unless you are eating cold oatmeal every day
I know a Gen-Xer. He literally drinks white monsters and his family has to give him $200-$300 a month so he can stay afloat with his kid since he's a single father and his roastie wife cucked him. He doesn't have any property and lives paycheck to paycheck.
Not using LED lighting?
Don't know about other van anons but I'm saving up a war chest for the next housing crash.
Im comfy and saving a lot of moeny rn in pic related you vehiclet. Drive up for the summer and down for the winter. Park in nice restaurants and neighboorhoods. Keep your gun close at night. Live in pic related, but not pic.

I'm gonna be 30 soon, can't pass for a student at the private university, all the rich kids' parents send them there fresh out of high school. and the public one is too far from where I work I'm not going to commute an 45min every day.
if you park that anywhere near people in america, the national guard is gonna come knockin
a few years ago I was about to take a job in a big metropolitan area
I was looking at real estate in the area and it was outrageous
I did the math, and the only way that I would be able to save some money was if I found a GF and then we found another couple and rented a cheap 2BR apartment
god damn studios were $1300, and worse than that were the income, deposit and other requirements
