    I lived in the Virgin Island s for a few years in a little pink cottage overlooking the caribbean ocean. I met a young guy age 28 who lived in the woods. He slept in a hammack high up in the trees - the hammack had a misquoto net over it. He had a rock for a coffee table - a mirror hung on a tree trunk so he could shave. He made straw hats out of palm leaves and sold them to the tourist. He did not have any regular job - he showered down the road at a friends house who had an outdoor shower. He had no rent bills, no electricity bills, no gas bills, - no bills at all - he would run up a food bill at the cafe down the road on the bay where he ate breakfast and dinner . He would run up a $200 bill each month and pay it at then end of the month. He was an Irish/Italian American from Connecticut - his father worked back in the states in a nuclear power plant. He did not get along with his dad, and as a teenager he was slow in school because he had dyslexia and the doctor diagnosed him with a brain tumor but he said , no not me and ran away to live on a tropical island and he has been living in that tree for over eight years. That was back in 1993. He was still there when I left the island.

      No, don't. You continue to be responsible and pay off your debt(s). This 75 year old fool of a person is a terrible example of what it means to be a mature, responsible adult. He believes he's beating the system, playing the game he accuses the credit card companies are playing. It's people like him that make people like you feel like a sucker for doing the right thing, but you're not. If you try to do what he is doing, it will backfire on you because your conscience will bother you, plus in a credit based financial system you keeping your credit history clean does allow you to do things this man can't. Like something simple like booking a flight, renting a car, or anything that requires a credit check.

I think it could be very interesting to have you as an almost financial traveler who visits certain locations, interviews people in that location, and learn how they live and their finances. It gives you not only flexibility into topics, but also some fun of expanding the way your channel could be marketed. And it might be fun if this became a career that you could literally travel and enjoy yourself for work. But thats just me thinking aloud lol.

    Slab City is not all riff-raff, many artists, entrepreneurs, low income families, visitors/tourists and some riff raff (just like any other city or town) and there is rules/etiquette like any community. And it's set up with different camps (like neighborhoods, community buildings, water for sale/delivery, Restaurant/Bar, Concert Area, even a Library. Slab City is an example of how people don't need every amenity, they don't need to live in Suburbia in a lilly white neighborhood or in the inner city in an overpriced closet the real estate agent calls an efficiency studio or retire in a gated community like the Villages just to feel accepted, to be part of a community. People can live outside the "norm" and build a thriving eclectic community.

    Credit is the biggest scam.
    if you buy a home on credit the interest is compounded daily.
    Do your research. you will pay 3 times or more.
    if you use credit to buy stuff you don't need you will be paying for things you no longer have: ie., food, gas, clothes. If you do not have the money for something, ask yourself: Do I want to be a slave to pay off this credit.

She and her husband lived in their community for about 30ish years. She always had a family to come back to if she ever didn't want to live in the community. I remember her taking a couple of breaks to get clean and sobriety finally stuck, but she always wanted to go back where she felt the most cared for.

    I was there 6 years ago on a cross country trip for about 2 weeks chillen with the hippies. I stayed with him at his place the first 2 nights and there was a young couple staying with him, taking care of the place. The guys girlfriend started flirting with me after we had a couple drinks and the dude attacked me. Since he was a weak druggie, I took him down with ease. His girl was a skank so I got out of there right after and found some cool crystal trading stoners up the street and had a blast

    I could never live in such community but Slab City's function is an ingenious way to solve a lot of society's problems. States have numerous pockets of land that they don't need or want. These areas should be reserved for the progressives, homeless, and other factions that do not play well with working class conservatives.

      I’d consider myself working class conservative and I’d rather have people like this as neighbors than hoa Karen’s. And to be honest I would rather the us have less regulations. People should be able to build properties and businesses like this on land they own. Zoning laws are stupid. Local governments and hoas are oppressive.
      And imo this would be a decent way to solve homelessness

    i've always wondered ... what would keep someone from going to slab city and claiming some huge amount of area as their own, like 10 acres or whatever, and who would be able to stop them from doing it. Most likely Slab city will end in disaster at some point because of things like that
