- I'm surprised to find that why I'm still living in a car is much different than why I moved into one.

Hi! New to your channel. I'm married, own my home outright, and don't live in my car, BUT I have outfitted my KIA Sorento to live in. Why, you might ask? I'm a big fan of the outdoors and sometimes like to go camping without my husband or a big tent. lol
My favorite purchases for this were a 12v fridge/freezer, a Jackery & solar panels. I also devised a shower/toilet room between the front & back passenger doors with shower curtains & magnets. I can go where there's any lake & paddleboard to my hearts content! I'll be 77 next month & my health is perfect. I only eat meat & eggs. You're a brave woman to be doing what you're doing. ❤
Thanks for sharing about your setup!
I’m 62 and live in my Hyundai Santa Fe and I’m disabled. I love the freedom it allows me. I can’t physically take care of an apartment and this is perfect for me.
Sounds like freedom
Good point, taking care of a house or even an apartment can be so hard!
@@elizabethoffgrid And expensive.
I’m on disability as well and they informed me I must keep a physical address . I’ll be 64 in September and they said can’t do it till 67 . They can’t check to see if I’m still disabled . So even if I say I’m on vacation they’ll stop my disability without an apartment .
@@DavidVincent-k3h Bob Wells talks about how you can get a physical address/ID via an RV Park in Pahrump, NV and you only have to stay there for a month or something. Something to look into.
Currently camping out in my truck in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where the weather is fairly cool. I just spent two weeks in Montana, and before that, I drove along the Oregon and Washington coasts and took pictures, and I'm hoping to go on a cruise in a few months. Because I live in my truck, I don't pay rent, utilities, and propery taxes which means I'm able to save good money while living like the rich.
It’s an intelligent decision you are making to live in your van. I’m an older guy so probably too late for me to do this. My rent is 37% of my retirement income so I follow a minimalist life style. Admirable what you are doing to save money.
@@andrewminjiras5745You're not too old to do it. I know a lady who is 78 years old who is doing it, and one guy I know of is 82.
@lewisvogel466 - I live in my car on SS and can't save a dime! I'm broke 3 weeks before I receive my next check! I want to know HOW many of you people living in a car like me, are saving money! And alot of it allegedly! I think it's all bullshit because Bidenomics have destroyed most Americans financially!
@@piggy310 I retired from the Air Force at age 38 and lived off of my pension for about 36 months as a nomad. I was usually able to save 500 to 600 dollars a month. But I turned 62 in January and started collecting social security as well.
I wish I had joined the Air Force and in for25 years. That would have been a good economic & psychological decision. Live and learn.
It is so refreshing to find a channel that has a more intellectual approach to car/van life: No screaming; no gimmicks; no hooks; just perspective and information. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
@@elizabethoffgrid Glad you offer a different approach!
@@dulcimama I agree. Just ran across your channel. You have a different perspective on van life than most. Great content
@@debk3135 We could use more UA-cam information and know-how presented in this manner!
Makes good economical sense..rent is criminal
So true
@@TimJameson-jg8sl agree rent is criminal
I pay 35% of my income for rent and I won’t go higher. Guess I’m lucky to live in the Bay Area for that price.
Property and gas taxes are criminal as well. I’ve been told if I want a sheriffs dept and someone to respond to wildfires I have to pay them:(
It's possible that there are also fewer toxins in a car vs. a house or apartment. Kudos for you. I have been wanting to live in a van for years. I look forward to that someday. Taking care of a family member prevents that.
I love all the reasons you mention!
Good point about toxins, pollutants, allergens, etc.
I’m also holding off while I take care of my grandmother . . . Also, she’s always outside due to living in a car so maybe it has nothing to do with pollutants in the car versus a house but that this lifestyle forces you outside all the time. I love it
I have followed you for almost a year and I have definitely seen the change in your spirit! You look happier, and slimmer and content. I also appreciate how you “think out loud” to us. It validates that I’m not the only one who thinks this way hahaha. I don’t live in my car but will start car camping soon.
I agree with you Elizabeth. I'm doing the same thing as you. I don't have to deal with winter, I can be in sunshine.
Thank you!
Free as a bird as they say.
I couldn't do a day in a car, let alone a year. Good for you if you can do it.
@@Martin-oz6lr yeah it's highly overrated...I did it four months in a high top cargo van with lots of room but still is more expensive and bad on your engine overall if you want to be comfortable with AC 🙂
Let's just pray that the Supreme court's decision doesnt end this lifestyle for us vehicle dwellers, who are not homeless.
Agreed! I plan to do a video about that soon (especially since I'm a lawyer)
"Homeless" indicates those people would rather have a sticks and bricks home. Not necessarily. Even for those who don't have a car to sleep in, they often choose to stay on the street, even when offered shelter. People get used to their situation, regardless of what it is. They find ways to manage, and storage facilities will probably be one of the fastest growing businesses around. That, and vans of various sizes.
@@rickcooper156 is the supreme Court considering making living in a car illegal? I surely hope not as that's often a last resort for most people.
@jamesballard6564 - If that happens, I'm giving my car back to Ford, packing my essentials, and moving abroad. They say some countries in South America are safe and very cheap.
If they rule living in a car is illegal, it'll be the end to millions of people lives.
@@rickcooper156 sounds unconstitutional to me. Unjust laws were made to break and Supreme Court is no exception.
5 years ago, I moved into my 2004 Toyota Highlander for the exact same reasons! I'll never go back either!
We could be twins!!!
Lol
Thanks for this fun and confirming video.
After 14 years of living in cars, vans, and even outdoors, I started a business, and rented a small room for the last 28 years. Sometimes I look back at the freedom I had living in cars and vans, and wonder if I made the right choice to take on so many responsibilities and financial obligations, but living in an apartment also has a lot of benefits, such as running water, a bathroom, being able to have visitors customers or guests, and I no longer have the police knocking at my door, and telling me to move on.
Yep it is not for everyone, and not for everyone all the time
Happy VehicaVersay!🚙🎈
💜💜
I'm where you were a year ago. I totally agree.
I am an over the road truck driver living in my truck and I feel the same way.
You are doing the right thing obviously, you look very happy. I also agree nature is fantastic mental therapy! Stay safe in your travels.
Thank you!
More power to you but I personally just wouldn't be happy. I love my pets and my little personal spot of my home. I can go out on my porch to hear the birds or I can go into my bedroom with blackout curtains to find quiet and spread out on my bed to sleep. I can go to my kitchen and fix my own food from where I store it when I need it without having to driving somewhere in the middle of the night if I would like a cold drink from my fridge. I enjoy watching a good movie with a bowl of popcorn wrapped in my favorite blanket with my cats. But I am glad your happy.
Glad you have a life situation that works great for you!
I live in a conversion van and park near the home of friends somewhat out in the country. I have shower and laundry privileges. I have a beautiful view, 2 kitties for company, it's quiet enough to nap as desired, there's electricity for cooking with small appliances, a 12v fridge for those refreshing cold drinks, and I can just pull the cords inside and drive away when I want a change of scenery. I retired 3 months ago, am learning to live on SS, paying off a debt as quickly as possible, and couldn't be happier. I'm truly blessed.
I am 68 and dream of living in my car. Apartment prices are crazy.
True that!
Not having a bathroom is a HUGE problem.
Buy a portable potty with bags. No more hunting for public toilets. Can use kitty litter or pine pellets to absorb liquid and odor.
Amen! I totally agree with all your saying. I'm now in an apartment caring for my elderly mom. The apartment sux!!! Sleep? In time I'll sleep again. I miss nature❤❤❤
Hope you're able to get some nature soon!
I can’t wait until the rent goes down !
People living on SSI & SSD & limited income cannot afford to live in even a studio. It’s terrible. My Daughter shares rent with 2 others and it’s still a struggle . The prices of food and non food essentials it’s so expensive.
I can't or won't even pay for a room to rent. $875 to over 1000.00 a month. Crazy!
Yes it is ridiculous how those payments are not actually enough to live
I really Love this video!
I've watched it a few times already. It's so affirming that I made the right choice over 5 years ago!
When you know better, you do better...
Thanks again!
I want to thank you for your words of inspiration for living in a car.
I too will be living in my Ford EcoSport, a tiny subcompact SUV, for one year on August 16th. I retired with no savings at 65.6 and found myself destitute waiting for my SS checks. I had no choice but to move into my car.
There are good days and bad. Right now they are "bad", meaning, depression wise.
Many days I feel like such a LOSER living in a car! Coming from a huge 2 bath, 2 bed apt with a balcony and many cats (that I had to give up). My heart still breaks for them.
I don't travel because I cannot afford to travel. I can't save a single dime living this way! I'm always completely broke 2 to 3 weeks before my next SS check. All my bills take most of my check. Gasoline is so expensive and it's so hot. Many days I'm sitting in my car using up precious gasoline to stay cool.
It was 112 degrees yesterday here in West Texas.
I do have a gym membership but am having problems with the people who work there. I stupidly told one of them I was a "nomad" when signing up and now they all know and they watch me like a hawk, as if I'm some kind of drug addicted criminal. They call the cops on me if my car is in the parking lot after a couple of hours. God forbid I sleep in the lot of a 24 hr "Y"!
I can't find anywhere to go to just relax without someone calling the police. The only place I can be without harassment is the small county park where they have a free camp site for about 6 RV's. At night I have to go late and get out before 5:15am because campers can only stay for 3 days per month. I'm there every night so I can't be found out. Every morning there's a guy who comes by on a tractor that picks up golf balls. There's a small golf course here, and he started noticing me at 5:30am. Driving right past me, going out of his way to see this 'homeless" person living in her car in the park. Because of it, I'm now getting out of there at 5:15am.
I'm so tired. It's too hot to sleep in the car during the day. There's nowhere to go. It's such a hard life.
I find this life so awful and lonely! Expensive as all hell too! it also reveals the complete apathy and inhumane nastiness of people. All of them!!
In retrospect, I also could not stand living in an apartment. It gave me PTSD over the years due to disgusting violent neighbors!
I would find myself staring at the TV or phone the entire weekend, never moving from my armchair except to eat or feed the cats.
I was also very depressed and despondent until I went back to work on Monday. Apartment living can be hell and outrageously expensive!
I have no friends, and family disowned me 25 years ago, so I'm a 67 year old woman who gave up everything and who has nothing or nobody, and I'm living in a car!! Tell me that's not pathetic!!
Always broke!
Nevertheless, I do relish the freedom and the beauty of nature in this park.
But I do not like having to use the filthy public restrooms to wash my face and brush my teeth on the days I don't go to the gym.
I have an appointment with the Housing Authority on July 16th to see if I can get help with paying rent. But I'm not even sure I want to go back to sitting within those 4 walls again!
I'm very confused about it because I hated the isolation and despondency of apartment living. The shitty neighbors above and below.
I also hated having to clean. It's such a bother and can be so difficult. Cleaning was SOMETHING I DETESTED! So it's a plus I no longer have to do that!
So I'm just not sure where happiness lies anymore. I'm sure if I had a companion. A friend, or wonderful hobby that also made me money, I might be happier whether I'm in a car or apartment. But tbh, if I can find an apartment that is cheap enough and the government helps me with rent, I believe I'll choose apartment again, no doubt. This car life is just too difficult (notice my handle!) hard, and expensive!
I'm tired of police chasing me and treating me like I'm the lowest lowlife.
That is the perception people take of you when you live this way, I've found, it's making me feel like a lowlife too now.
However, Best of luck to you and be safe! thanks again.
@@Hard_Car_Life The difference is an attitude, and that's truly the only thing you can change about your situation - your attitude toward it. Don't put labels on yourself!! Calling yourself a lowlife, loser, pathetic doesn't do justice to the fact that despite having difficulties, you are a survivor and you're doing the best you can right now. It sounds like you're in a smaller town, so a person living out of their vehicle is more likely to be noticed. Is there a way for you go to another location? Most people aren't malicious, they're just curious. Kindness begets kindness.
So sorry to hear that you couldn't keep your cats! Hope you can find a better situation or at least a place with better weather
You can apply for state run retirement housing. It's heavily subsidized so it cheap. But neighbors maybe unpleasant. My mom tells me the waiting list is 2 years. Get yourself out of the extreme heat. It will be the end of you. Good luck.
@@Hard_Car_Life look up methodist retirement communities. They have communities in Texas and some are subsidized. Rent is approximately 30% of your adjusted income
I live in a house with my wife but I spend most of my time outdoors in the woods. I only go in the house to eat or sleep. I love the outdoors and my mental health improves being outside. I agree with you being outside helps overall. My wife needs a house to feel safe. Feeling safe for me is not as important.
Yes different people have different needs/priorities
I think I could do this if I had to, though I’m in my 70’s now. And I have been basically homeless, living in a small tent years ago, etc, which I think helped me maintain a minimalist life style even while raising four kids. The only thing I would totally miss though is my garden. I’d probably find my self arrested for deadheading flowers in the parks.
awwwhhhh I'll come deadhead flowers with you!! 😃 And then lets go find the local community garden and help ~
It would be hard in a little car but could still have a container garden if in anything a bit bigger
who says life is tough its like a stream which begin from mountains became a huge river which after part of time become smooth and join vast ocean . what you think about news beginning ? i am in my 40tise and YA philosophy did not work some time as . excuse, i try to elaborate life like a stream .
Jeffy Bear lost both legs and he got a van converted for his disability and he is back van camping again. You can do it.
Thanks for sharing!
You look more healthy than a year ago. I might have to try this lifestyle.
I totally understand! I love nature. Additionally, I got rid of many of my things a year ago and I felt so much better.
So true :)
I feel like I do a lot of the same things, but I live in a townhome. I hike all the time in the Appalachians, travel, take road trips every couple weeks, move to new states. I know California has extremely high rents and maybe having a townhome or apartment is more of a burden there.
Glad you found a situation that works great for your lifestyle!
Just subscribed . I support your off grid choice ❤
Thanks!
Just stumbled into your channel... all I could think of was... your enthusiasm and positive spirit - so infectious... bringing a smile to my face! My kids are your age. You are a darlin ....💗
This is a great solution to a lot of people. I wished I knew about this some years back but I’m planning to be on the road a lot when the kids are done with high school. For now we take long road trips and get in some practice. Your video is encouraging. Thanks
I love this video. You have a great attitude. You seem very happy with your nomad life. I just started my Nomad life at 62 last year. So far I'm loving it I love the freedom I am in a truck and small camper so I have a little bit more room than in a car. My biggest thing at my age was to be able to stand up and I'm able to do that and I have a four-wheel drive truck with high clearance so I can go off on some BMLand that I really want to go explore. And it's working out great for me. You have safe travels maybe I'll see you down the road
Yep so many people want something where they can stand up! I can see that a truck camper can be a great idea
I totally get living in a van or a RV but I don’t get living in a car! I’ve even dreamed of buying a van or RV and hitting the road but I don’t think I could live in my car! I had to sleep in my car one night in my 20s because I was in between apartments and didn’t have the money for a hotel. Still brings me tears thinking about that night 40 yrs ago!
Yep everyone has different needs!
I agree, starting my journey at the end of this year, so looking forward to it.
I love your video content. I currently live in a 1 bedroom apartment and pay almost 1800 dollars a month. I am seriously thinking about moving into my car to save money and travel a lot
My 2 bedroom went up to $3200 a month 🫠
I hear you -- my last apartment (2bd) was $2775 a month!
It’s crazy!! I seen a post about a 1 bedroom for $1725 n mentioned how that’s expensive everyone else said it’s affordable?? Like too who!!?? Problem is ppl don’t even mind paying high rent so landlords shrug their shoulders and keep raising the rent because ppl will pay anything for a tiny space to live
Hello Elizabeth
So happy to see your video😊
Thanks!!
❤. I am glad that you are happy & living your best personal life. Good for you.
Thank you !🙏🇺🇸
Kudos for doing what you love 💖💖💖
Thanks!
Hey you! I've been looking for you.Hoping your doing well.Please stay safe❤
Thank you, I will
Sometimes I can see how this can be a benefit. ❤❤❤❤
Yes, I completely agree with you about all of this, but have not found a job that could provide for me on the road. Yes the day I can find this I am doing exactly what you’re doing. Also, where do you stay at night? I’ve often thought about, staying at harvest host, but they don’t allow people to sleep in their vehicles. So I just would like to know where you find places to stay when you’re traveling across the country. Thanks so much really enjoy your videos. You are very inspirational. !
When I'm on the road, my top spot (in the west and midwest) is a rest stop - free, simple, has bathrooms. Sometimes I stay at walmart (but not every one can allow because of local laws or the parking lot owner rules) or at a random spot I find on ioverlander
You are living my dream really. I lost my job and have been unemployed for five months. Just got a contract job, but I am behind on nearly everything and it will take a moment to catch up, rent is just criminal really. I need to thin of how I could make this work for me, as the car I currently have is tiny. It’s just me and two cats that will be with me too. I know this could work, and like you I want to travel. I want to be in nature and hear birds not traffic. It’s too congested with people where I live currently. I hate being at the mercy of leases and rent and such. I just need to start researching on how to do this with my 2 cats.
In 2015, I donated/sold about 97% of my possessions and headed far north for almost 5 years. What I had was what would fit in my VW bug. I rented furnished places and moved 3 times there, due to ignorant landlords etc. I truly love the idea of always having my home with me. Thank you for realistically showing me it can be done!
Yes to vehicle life with kitties😻😻
Have you ever tried putting a kitty harness on your cats? They make them, and some cats will go for walks on a leash, but my cats collapsed and became paralytic when I tried it.
*Not literally...they were faking!
@@ThatRedhedd lol took me a minute to get the context 😂 one of mine wears a harness and leash but has done so since he was a kitten. My other kitty who was grown when I got him is not happy with a harness on and adding the leash may add to temporary "paralysis" 😸 but I do put it on now and then, and encourage him to watch his brother wearing it and going outside. 🙄🤦♀️🤷♀️ Having them with me in my conversion van is just the best. Yesterday I got them both outside in a collapsible crate! That was best for the guy who won't take to a leash. 😻
Makes no sense to rent an apartment for a third or half of your income.thats half of your life gone just to sleep at a place your not at most of the time
So true!
We have a beautiful garden with a pond. All sorts of wildlife. We hear the birds singing. I love it. I can understand why my some people want to live in their car.
Sounds lovely!
I totally agree and feel the exact same (matter of fact I’m going to forward your video to friends to help them understand me :)…….. It’s not for everyone but I guess it just fits for some of us.
Great to hear that you get it! :)
Hi! I am going to be 50 in 1 month and when my little daughter finish her career I will be living in my car too. I am dreaming with that .
I'll be 50 in November! Yep I did this after my son moved out a year ago
I have followed you since your start and I’m so happy for you! I must tell you that I’m right in the edge of doing car life by choice! Thank you for these inspiring videos! ❤
My only fear is where to safely park!
Welcome! If I had to go back again, I'd go to a campground for the first couple nights, just so I don't have to stress about parking or bathrooms for a few days. Also, I'd scope out a bunch of spots, at night, to find good places to park.
Love your attitude ! tks
Thanks!
What are your channels?
Here's my other channel ua-cam.com/users/elizabethpw
49? I thought you were 29 to 34.
Thanks! Good genetics :)
I think it depends where you live here in Bundaberg QLD Australia
It’s very hot over 3 months so hot
You would melt in the car
Yeah I can see how it works in North America - just migrate to more temperate location like a bird (in a car!). Not sure it would work in the UK now we have left Europe
Ah yes it really depends on location!
Oh Sister!!!
I'm 6 months living in my minivan (not by choice). I agree with all the positives you've mentioned. Hmmmm.
It's been 3 months of repairs on a vehicle that won't start at times and nobody can fix her. It drained my bank account and my guts! I'm disabled and STUCK! I can't go anywhere!
I Wish I could just Leave!!!!
Great video! ✌️
~ 🦋
Oh no about your vehicle! good luck with it
God bless all those in that lifestyle and my he protect all of you im retired trucker,,me small house here i live like a king do ever want to go back to that life!!!!!
Camping in state parks is way too expensive! 40.00 for a night?!!!
Yep CA state parks is $35 a night with zero hookups. Now there are states with much less fees & more services, so I think it depends on where you go
@elizabethoffgrid yep, I'm in Cali alright. But I need to stay cool for the summer, will stealth.
👏 👏 👏
Yes . Good for you woman .
It doesn't have to be "traumatic" does it ?
You have the right attitude with what it takes to facing adversity in that , you (and I did exactly the same thinking with it ) count your blessings, use it to your advantage, stay positive, make it as homely comfortable as you can in your set up arrangement , and overall , embrace the silver lining aspects to it .
The mobility.
Travel.
Not a slave to unscrupulous landlord or tenancy obligations.
Keeping yourself safe with being smart about it .
Utilising family and friends for reprieve from it , sometimes but not too often .
Keeping up with your car maintenance (crucial crucial that one) and that one actually virtually converts one into becoming a mechanic so you learn skills .
Like , I totally relate and understand where you are coming from IF you are young especially.
BUT I do not expect over sixties , to have to do it .
I want senior women, in nice decent homes .
Thankyou for sharing your thoughts .
I agree that it should be a choice, not people who are driven to necessity
I get the best sleep in my car. I think if living in your vehicle starts off as a personal choice it’s much more enjoyable. I’m sure I will one day get a place. To be honest I don’t think about it.
Very true that it is different if it is a choice (as all things in life)
When you own a house, you can’t pick your neighbors. If you’re living mobile, you just drive off.
So true!!
Girl if I was dx with dementia and had my wits about me I would hike into the wilderness never to return or walk off a beautiful cliff in Moab …
who in their right minds wants to sit an rot away with dementia Or Alhemizers
I remember Kathleen Bates in the House that Preys .. dx with dementia, she checked into a hotel and took some dependable medicine
I lived in my Honda Element for 3 years .. the best sleep ever in my life.
I hear you about just hiking off into the wilderness :)
Thank you for your wonderful message. I desire to move to middle TN and live in my car while working. I figure I'll only be in my car to sleep. How do you deal with the heat? Thanks again for your motivational video.
I'm going to make a whole video about it, but besides the obvious (fans, shade) I go to places where it is not as hot, like the mountains or by the ocean
Like the perspective!
I love this. I did a no build conversion on my minivan so the economy crashes, I will be okay ❤
Great idea!
Amen too that. 😊
Don’t you struggle not having an address? And do you work in “internet cafés” etc? Would finding a life partner change things or would they have to accept your lifestyle? Sorry - so many questions! Genuinely intriguing though… 👍
No, I just use amazon lockers or get packages at a friend's or family member's house, and I get mail at a virtual mailbox. I use my phone for internet. I have a significant partner already, but anyway, I would never be with someone who does not accept me.
@@elizabethoffgrid thanks for the reply - really fascinating journey that you’re on! I will definitely catch up on your history and keep watching. All the best…
Now that you’re use to it,and don’t have to pay high rent it’s a win.
True!
You clearly enjoy good mental health. Although I live in a house with relatives I own a Subaru Forester as well and feel that I am ready to go should circumstances dictate that I become a long term camper. To me RVs are grotesque, get hideous mileage, and are clearly for people who are allergic to camping. I own a variety of tents most of which have lots of headroom and will accommodate multiple heavy duty cots so I’m not on the ground. Plus I could take my Forester on the Alaska state ferry system to go camping in the panhandle of Alaska or even build a foam core ferro-cement 32’ Voyageur canoe with perhaps a tent in the middle to cruise around on float. There’s no point in getting all despondent and apocalyptic about not needing a house all of the time. But I spent nearly a year sleeping on the ground in tiny 3 man tents at two of the youth camps on Lake Temagami, Ontario, Canada or Northwoods [Cleveland YMCA] and Keewaydin, where Grey Owl himself once guided. So yes, sleeping on the ground is doable but luxury camping need not depend on towing an Airstream or whatever.
Ah yes that ferry system sounds so neat!
@@elizabethoffgrid There are good UA-cam videos about the Alaska State Ferry system.
...after my own heart...

Hi
Hi Jim!
How difficult is the shower & bathroom necessity? Do you have to look for facilities close to your car. Thanks for telling me how you accomplish this. And is parking to sleep a hard problem?
Get a gym membership easy solution
Yes, join a chain like Planet Fitness. Also, people forget that daily showering is a fairly modern habit. Sponge baths, using a bucket or basin, was the norm for generations.
A place to sleep really depends on where you are -- it's not hard for me at this point but it took a bit to get figured out (for when in town)
Yes and yes sweetheart FREEDOM 🫶🫶🫶🌹🌹👍👍👍💯💯
