None of these skills can be learned overnight,or by sitting in a class room, it takes yrs to learn by actually doing. When the SHTF youve either got it or you dont. Most of the young do not have any building,plumbing, electrical, mechanical,welding, land development, farming skills of any kind. The old timers complain there arent enough to take their place currently. It will not get saturated for another generation. Need to get the young ones off of social media and video games before that happens.
I lost a brother to suicide because he feared becoming homeless, living in a tent etc. A good friend of mine lost his housing recently and just moved into his van. I volunteered to bring him coffee/food and hangout several times to “help” the transition. We’ve since worked out a deal that he comes over once a week and gets a shower, does laundry and we have dinner and he helps me out with stuff around the house. He parks in a safe lot nearby. Maintaining our friendship through these tough times is really benefiting us both and a real blessing. I couldn’t help my brother, I was too late, but I learned that I CAN do something to help someone going through it so that even though circumstances change they can retain their dignity and know they are seen and cared for no judge. Isn’t this really what we all want? Good friends who offer more than opinions? I may be doing what he’s doing in a few years and he will be a great resource in addition to a true friend. Let’s all get more local and community-minded.
Why didn't you allow your friend to live with you until he got back on is feet? That's the first thing that came to my mind, especially after your brother's suicide? How would you feel if the situation was reversed?
Especially how hot it is now a days. A shower once a week is good but it's HOT 🥵🔥 OUTSIDE. Maybe it's not her home or her living situation isn't suitable for the friend to stay until he/she get on their feet.@@user-lf2lf6wy4z

Been homeless for almost 20 years. (No lie) I call it FREEDOM. No bills . It has gotten harder… I’m gonna be sixty in two weeks man where did the time go… much love
Hopefully you live in the south or out west, where I'm at I see the homeless people been out here for years but in the winter I don't see how they can take it. I wouldn't mind occasionally handing out a few dollars but I'm broke over child support and I'm staying somewhere that brakes me every month so I keep going in circles.
No joke, im willingly about to go homeless for a secondd time. Cost of living is way too high and i miss having freedom with my money. Paying $1,870/month just for a decent place to live is absurd. Back to living out of my work truck I go. These bills are holding me back and slowing down my long term goals.
The summer months are tough on 90+ days, i feel like its alot easier to stay warm than it is to stay cool . I guess that depends on your location too , 100 usually being the hottest and the coldest around 20 degrees where im at
Im from Mexico, I knew since many years ago, world would be hectic and collapsing. Im in my 30's and I moved to the countryside some years ago, I barely need money to live here, since I could build a house. Blessings to every one!
I’d probably do that, but I’m not sure if that would be a good idea. I don’t trust people these days. I had a female roommate once. It didn’t end well.
@@Knightrem she wanted to use my private computer. With my important work. I came from film school. She charged me $900 a month for her spare room in her 2 bedroom apartment. I stayed 8 weeks. So that’s $1800. With that money she could have easily bought her own pc. Or an iPhone 4. This was way back in 2011. Instead she wanted to take that rent money to renovate her apartment. She went crazy after establishing my own privacy and said no. Then I had to immediately find a new place to live. I could have ended up on the streets, all because of a girl who turned out to be a user. Never trusted a woman again. Especially a feminist. Women need to respect men. That’s the problem with today’s society. Egalitarianism has destroyed western men, and men have had it. If women want to be strong and independent, they can pay for themselves. If I ever let a woman live with me, she needs to be submissive and marriage material. And not have slept with different boys. That kind of woman today doesn’t exist anymore. And it’s sad. Because I know my true worth as a man. When women complain on social media about why they can’t find a good man… I just shrug. These same women probably used and turned away many gold men for a chad. That girl who I stayed with, she didn’t want me. It was just my turn. And I learned never to put myself in that position again!
Get a cargo van, box truck or a school bus... get some solar panels on that vehicle & 12volt refrigerator, & learn how to make water filters (sand, gravel & charcoal... learn to make charcoal) & have non-metal large pot for boiling water (metal leaches You'll be in a much much better situation then MOST who didn't have a large sized vehicle with some comforts as a backup plan.

We're being coralled into digital currency and cyber-life but the fact remains that you can't get a debit card without a physical address. I was homeless or have been a rolling stone for a long time. We live in a parasitic system and they'll squeeze until there's nothing left.
Nowadays you can tap to pay with several apps that provided prepaid debit so that's not really an excuse. Smart phones start at like 30$ for a cheap android at Walmart. P.o boxes aren't that expensive if you have a job and a car.
@@OnwardOverland PO Box is not a physical address so it won't work. When we talk about digital slavery what do you think we mean? If you're working for something as intangible as numbers in cyberspace that can disappear at any moment and leave you high and dry.
investing doesn't do anything but make you more money, so investing doesn't solve the inflation issue. You wanna put at least 1/3 of that money in precious metals such as gold, platinum and silver. Metals move with inflation.
Right now isn’t the time to have kids. I’m 28 years old, single, no kids. Racking up 120k a year, working 6 days, Sundays off. It’s only going to get worse, the price of living is ridiculous. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.
@@LordToby914 I'm saying you can change your career or learn how to make your money work for you. Downsize your lifestyle and personal happiness for security and a fostering home environment. Women today can be challenging for most men, but you should look for someone who is aware and determined to succeed anyway. If you make these excuses you will never ask yourself how you can make it happen. That's how victory is achieved. Nobody walks into the arena with the arms raised the first time. I'm ready to hear your perspective too, because right now I am dealing with unprepared older family and have them to consider as well. I hate that I am a young man and discouraged to work or learn a skill to enter society in a meaningful way!
I am arguably the most prepared I can be. I live in a 28 ft travel trailer. I have always been interested in the tiny home movement. Last summer I bought a 1972 Holiday travler in solid condition but it had a leak in the back and needed a complete rehab of the plumbing and electrical. The front kitchen area was in usable condition. It was $1500. I completely replaced the finish flooring, rebuilt the back bedroom, new appliances, new plumbing, new electrical panel with added circuits for all the modern electronics, new toilet, new front couch. I am probably 5k into it now and still need to completely and professionally redo the roof. I patched the leaks and tarped it for now. I plan to do the roof next spring when I have the money. The trailer is parked on a family member’s property now hooked up to their electric and water. They allowed me to install the proper electrical outlet on their house myself and I give them money towards the bill. Well water is free so I don’t have to pay for water. My mail goes to the PO Box associated with the address of the house and it is also my legal address for license, registration, work, etc. even though I live in an RV I don’t consider myself homeless because I have a permanent address and I’m connected to services like electricity, water, internet,etc. it’s just a tiny home to me. Obviously I own the RV outright and if something should happen where I need to move it I can move everything I own for the cost of a U-Haul rental. I live in the state of insanity, I mean New York where everything is stupidly expensive. I see no point in pissing money away in rent when I can own an RV and owe NOTHING to anyone. My housing expenses consist of an electric bill. You can’t beat that with a stick! Eventually I will buy a piece of land somewhere in Tennessee and park my RV there and build a deck and a carport type roof and at some point I will probably buy a newer RV or tiny home but if things continue the way they are going I will likely never have a classic sticks and bricks house and I’m ok with that if it means I can own what I’m living in, even if I might change the ground under it.
I was homeless for 2 years Trust me, that stuff can happen to anybody I am a licensed mechanic, Game Developer, Photographer and also used to be a musician and if i cannot make, the society is f'ed up

People need to stop wasting money on things that don't matter! Hair, shoes, bags, make-up, lashes, nails, brows, concert tickets, and keeping wealthy people wealthy.
But if people stop then the basic employees that work those jobs are now out of work. People that wasted money on school to do hair and nails now suffer. There is no answer to this
@@kalof3l51 so many people don't understand that the average person having "fun money" for things like starbucks is literally what keeps the economy "healthy" Without people spending on frivolous things this whole system collapses.
The system is gonna collapse no matter what we buy. There are migrant gangs looting stores in NY, Chicago, LA many places have closed in San Francisco and countries are dropping the dollar.
I'm a 35 year old man who isn't married and doesn't have kids. I don't own a house, both my cars are 20 plus years old and paid off, never went to college and live by myself in a cheap but decent apartment. I just go to work and go home and save what I can. Ever since 2012 I knew that the economy was gonna get worse and plus I've seen friends and family struggle that have too many responsibilities. The American dream isn't worth it in this day and age in my opinion.
It kills me that this is a serious topic nowadays! A thousand dollars is nothing today! It takes $90.00 to fill my gas tank, groceries are $300-400 a week, I can't afford to smoke or drink anymore...

Yet, the younger generation has new, large $$$$.$$ housing, new babies, multiple new cars and SUV's in their driveways...Boats, motorcycles, side-x-sides, jet skies, snowmobiles, ect, ect, ect...who should I really feel sorry for, and how are they paying for all this???

Same we don't spend money on anything except grocerys an paper goods like toilet paper/home necessities we don't eat out ever never ever don't drink coffee don't smoke cigarettes or weed don't drink alchol we don't ever go out an do anything unless it's 100% free don't go on vacation unless someone invites us an is paying we lucky have no debt an no car payment but it's like dam pur money goes sooo fast wit just food an gas an necessities cuz inflation like we can't cut back anymore there nothing to cut back we live super frugal we have no friends we legit stay hoke an do nothing
I agree 100%...see how thousands of Van Life Nomads live in their vehicles comfortably and rid themselves of the everyday financial pressures, a Cargo Van or MiniVan would give you the most room to live in and affordable, joining a gym like Planet Fitness would give you a place to maintain your hygiene at a reasonable monthly cost, adding a mini Solar Generator will make you life much easier and make it seem more homely with you basic electronics...there is a way out and hope living this lifestyle....best of all it's your Home and you can go Anywhere with your home...

Yes, I’m getting ready to do camping in my minivan, with my husband. We camped when our children were growing up so I’m not new to that. Back then we had tents or campers. I thought we were doing decent as we’re nearing retirement, but health costs and increase in cost to just live has me even wondering. It’s good to have a few options available.
Decade ago I sat and visualized myself homeless just to see how I'd survive. If you know you're going to be homeless you need to IMMEDIATELY get a UPS address, so you can have a "resident address", there's also a PO Box loophole. You need to get a free government phone, or a cheap android phone then put it on a $10 plan or use it when near "free wifi". You need to go to a library throughout the day and sit in areas that aren't populated to draw attention, especially to stay warm in the winter. Get a cheap gym membership with showers before becoming homeless, if you have a car live in it, i'd sleep in well lit areas at walmart, or other places, use your car for gig work and work at an actual job, you need a street address to work, that's where UPS (mentioned earlier) comes in handy. Practice intermittent fasting, and eating once per day or alternate day fasting to eat every other day, this will train you to avoid hunger.
cops: let me see your ID me: I don’t have an ID cops: go get your ID at the DMV DMV: what is your address? me: I don’t have an address DMV: call the cops cops: you are under arrest for disorderly conduct me: what did I do? cops: stop resisting
Hi, you from America? Yeah. You're under arrest. Hey, you American? No, I'm an illegal alien. Great! You'll get everything for free. Glad I can serve your needs. You see any homeless Americans I can bust?
You could change your address to a shelter. Unfortunately you might be using the same address as convicted felons but at least your would be able to show a cop your drivers license.
Been there twice, mostly due to medical health issues and economics. I don’t blame anyone but I do wish I had trusted my gut ahead more than trusting those I didn’t know well and trusted too quickly.
You are not alone, many people have suffered "White Coat Syndrome" where they have put their trust in doctors and the medical industry as a whole. But today, we need to Start using our "bull§hit detector," our survival instinct, and common sense when dealing with the medical institutions. Out of need and growing in numbers, there are now more holistic practitioners out there and most of these centers except medical insurance. So, before taking prescribed Rx, do your research on the long term effects of these drugs, and also, go and visit/get to know and ask questions at the different holistic practitioners.
I’ve already experimented with living in my small car (2004 Chrysler PT cruiser I’m over 6 feet tall) for one year back in 2019/20 during the start of the pandemic so I’m confident I can live that lifestyle. I work a job that was wearing me down among other life experiences and so I gave up on everything except working. During the time of living in my car I saved a significant amount of money and continued to save money after being housed again right up until this day. I’ll be able to collect pension in about six more years along with money I continue to save, I’m looking to live in my vehicle again during retirement not because I have to, but because I find it makes the most sense in today’s troubled housing market.

I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
I have been homeless since I was a kid. Rule number one you must be able to adapt. So best if you start hiking, camping etc. if you become homeless you will have your gear. Shelter, sleeping food storage, water purification system. And most important get your mind and body used to the elements. Oh and basic wildlife survival skills will be great, as well as self defense. Because desperate people live in the shadows

I am ready sir. Bring it on! Rock and Roll! Air, Water, Food, Clothing, Medicines. Shelter and a Plan. No job for 15 years. I have lived in my car for a few years and I am ready. it is a Sub compact with a stick shift and it carries Everything that I need. I tried larger vehicles and learned that I do not need more space. Many advantages to smaller. I can literally push to start on flat ground.. My bed extends from the rear trunk to the front seat. I use home made black curtains for privacy. High has mileage if you need to drive and leather seats for comfort. Bag ice for cooling in the summer. I can park in a residential area and no one has any idea. I can boon dock anywhere. I do not carry along extra gas. I do not need it with >40 mpg, gas is stinky, takes up room and flammable. it just gets in the way whole actually living in my car. If a cop checks me out, it does not look like i am homeless, no reason for guns out and nasty attitude.
100. Been living in a Civic for 6 years, with a small detour staying with a relative during pandemic and then a homeless shelter after he assaulted me. I didn't intend for it to be this way but you are correct. I think about getting a van at times, probably more for day use and then still keep the car and go sleep in it because the benefits are huge as you say. Work van + sleep in car, doesn't sound bad (my profession is computer / IT work, but I'm a dish washer now for lack of space to do IT on the daily). Thanks.
@@ispoogedaily Tell me about your IT experience? I had a Midlevel management job with about 200 employees. One day I decided I could do better and I quit. I leaned that there are many highly paid jobs that can not be advertised. These are real jobs where competence the only factor that is measured. If you do not help your client reach their goal with ZERO excuses then you get to continue receiving assignments. One slight error and its goodbye forever. What kind of work? Investigating insurance claims. Insurers HATE paying claims so there is always work.. They don't like paying you more than the claimant. No office politics, meetings or reports. Income is only limited by your abilities and results.
You don't need a job. You just need a way to get money. Find odd jobs or start your own small business. I prep as if I am going camping. Get the basics. A sleeping bag, food, water. My uncle, when he was wanting to move out of his parents house, lived in his truck at a campground.
I have an apartment and an income and I'm 'STILL' thinking about what I would do if it all went away. I literally have a whole plan mapped out. It's crazy we have to think that way.
Its disgusting that anyone has to live under threat of homelessness at any given time. In a healthy society, we would take care of our people with universal basic income/housing. Life can turn into a nightmare very quickly without such a safety net.
It's not healthy. It's an illusion of a dream but it's a nightmare to pay for a home 40 years and still dont own it. Or pay yearly taxes on a car that I cant drive if u cant pay registration fees and taxes. It's a nightmare.
I don't drive a vehicle today but have an apartment. It's a sacrifice I've made to afford cost of living today. If you're not lazy and live in a small town walking and biking is a great way to save money and stay in good shape.
I might live off my bike, and use my local bike path to go from town to town, since I can teach breaking, and do performances to make a little cash on the side. Even though I love having AC and having a nice place to relax at the end of the day, I still hate paying rent.
Cargo van ... thats what ive been in since 2020 ... having a 12v refrigerator is TRULY TRULY a life saver & game changer... also water filters for wildlife living conditions Get a used van & solar NOW!
*it's getting to the point, people are living in their cars, because they can't afford rent* I went from paying in full , to payments. It's like damn...
I finally bought a minivan last year but it is financed. I always wanted one and i dont have kids except a cat. I use it for my side hustle as a mobile massage therapist. I just got a job offer praise God that will give me a desk job and a break on my body and witglh benefits and no commute. I plan to keep my weekend spa job as well to pay everything off and stack cash. I need a vacation but its nowhere near a priority. Coming up with new ideas to keep investing in my skills and make income, im also a Notary so like you said, stay vigilant.. also just found out how to delete most of my info off the internet for privacy and keep accounts secure. Sleep and a hot bath are vacations to me. I pray everyone is in good health. Take your B vitamins and drink plenty of water 💧 ❤
Just about 44 million Americans, including 13 million children, don't have enough to eat and won't know where their next meal will come from. That's just about one out of every eight Americans. Absolutely shameful for the so-called "best nation on Earth". american povery is around 15% and the povery threshold is under 23$ a day and its growing..fast. Compare that to the 4 nordic country's(sweden norway finland denmark) that dont even have 1% poverty or even se-asia Thailand that have 6% poverty and its falling every year
For those who have no money to buy a car (like me) buy an electric bike and build a bicycle caravan/camper. Im doing it now and holly molly it cost nothing yet provides me a home with a mini kitchen, bed can even take shower in. Be creative folks and don't think about what others might say.

Conditions,but it is the public humiliation,and the embarrisment you feel from friends and new aqaintances.
I realized this years ago, because you can have a job and still not be able to afford an apartment or house; The monthly income a lot of people make is only slightly more than what rent cost; So you either can't get approved for an apartment or you get approved but will only have about $200 or $300 for yourself after bills are paid; Insanity
Your wide variety of friends and family will face the enviable....broke, no car, homeless with over $20,000. In debt. The middle class will fall harder than the poor class.
You mean Gods people prepare. Becaus the world will shake hands with the devil when things start to get hard.. I refuse even now i refuse to work for this ssytem but we gotta sustain.
Start your land search now, it took me 5 yrs of looking to find the right pc for the right price. Find a parcel far enough out where there are no restrictions and or zoning so you can do whatever you want without regulations.
trouble is- in the future- what is accessible to the homeless now- will be gone.... most retailers will be history- resources and provisions will be scarce and people will be desperate- no this won't be a recession or depression- it is going to be far far worse- plan carefully. even in the best of times in America- we are all one serious health issue away from homelessness and bankruptcy - with the exception of the privileged.... now the horizon is on another level... and sadly those responsible for this will remain comfy.
Im a veteran and was homeless for 2 years and got my current place and just got noticed my lease is not getting renewed because there selling it. And if i dont find a place then ill be back in the same situation
I don't know where you are but please look into what agencies in your community have SSVF funding. Your local VA can refer you. There are so many landlords selling and a lot of veterans end up in this dilemma. There are agencies that can assist you with this transition into a new place. ❤
I went threw that situation last year. I literally went out with a friend, got back home to see the letter on the door. I managed to find another place but I keep getting laid-off from jobs now. It's frustrating!
Hi there, I am new to the channel and this is a timely video as I have recently been looking in to buying a larger car (SUV) to live in. I have a good job and have had this job for over 20 years but I have never felt totally comfortable to the point where this topic doesn’t come across my mind, particularly during economic downturns; and now we have this terrible economy. I like many of you know what is coming next, and that is mass lay-offs across all sectors and that knowledge demands that you prepare…NOW!
Brother Andrew your tips are great, i was thinkingbof a rv van with oitchen,living room ,bathroom. I have to save more money. Your space innyour home looks nice with the brick look. We all are saving more,spending less, we pray in CHRIST name we won't be homeless !🙏🏽
When I got laid off in 2010, I started a one-man business cleaning short sale homes. It was hard work but I treated it like job. I was on the job the same time every day, took a 30 min. lunch just like a regular job and kept a daily schedule. It worked out and helped me get through a very tough time. By the way, I have Ph.D. but I was and am grateful that God gave me the strength to do that kind of work because I was in my early 50s. I would do it again if I had to. I worked as a janitor and got through school doing manual labor.
Good on you Mr. David for making it work!!!! I’ve learned through some documentaries that many people with advanced degrees are homeless and on tough times.. I have a Master’s in Education and had to spend some time in my car too ~ I fell ill a year after graduating, couldn’t work and had no family or friend support ~ To be honest, it was a refreshing change, I’m not advocating for car living, but I got some of the best sleep ever!!!
@@Brandy3319 Thanks for the response. I hope you are doing better now. I wish you all the best in life. Yes. A degree doesn't ensure that we get a job, it only gives us some more choices. I brought a little suv just in case I have to live in it as well. I hope I don't have to but it certainly beats a tent.
What an informative video. I've been feeling the pinch for three years with being self-employed as a gardener. I've had to up my marketing and knowledge to stay in the game. If not, I would be forced to give it up. I tell people including family about the journey, they don't care to much. I finally got £2500 of debts paid off and did a quick spring clean, and the boiler and cooker went calput. I was saving hard for new windows but unlikely to have them done this coming winter. I also keep money aside for unexpected expenses and done an ongoing maintenance excel sheet to monitor bills. It's tough as I don't have a supportive partner etc. Homeless has always on the outskirts of my mind. Keep up the useful work brother
This is still the playing out of 2008, they kicked the can until it became an anvil. I went to college, I'm 44 and am preparing for homelessness. I see the homeless increase around me every day.
I actually had a dream about something like that, and the best thing we can do is pray to God that it doesn't happen Some CAN'T afford to be homeless because some with certain medical conditions CAN'T be without shelter
Thank you Andrew for sharing. God sometimes has to take it all away for us to understand what’s important. There’s going to be testing and some repeat exams. No one likes to be uncomfortable but it’s for our own good.
This is sickening having this conversation he's talking like this nightmare is just something your going to have to get use to and this will be the new norm just adjust and you'll get use to it
that is soo nuts how having college certs in this day and age only grants grads a double-digit hourly wage and not a career salary, cept for high level hospital or legal-type jobs. hope everyone finds their way in this craziness
Your ahead of the game. Many ppl ain't gonna survive homelessness. They will be swan diving off skyscrapers. Meanwhile the homeless already know game and how to survive.
I’ve been homeless twice the past 2 years, I make really good money in oil but took out more in loans than I could chew. It was scary at first but after a while I preferred it, rents been 1500$ a month for a decent place, so I was able to pocket that for a couple months. First night is kind of scary but as long as you have your stuff in storage they make inflatable beds for all kinds of trucks / cars now, get good window tinting, keep a pew pew nearby in arms length reach. Debt is what led me to this point but it helped me bounce back a lot faster and get back on my feet rather than thinking of how I’m going to pay this loan with this bill coming up. If you feel homelessness coming try it before it even happens start building out your vehicle a couple weeks to months in advance, plan places you can park next to work, get consistent in the gym and showering in there, also for food wise I bought a bunch of chipotle bowls and left it in my work freezer and asked for extra rice / beans and ate that for lunch / dinner 1 bowl a day, and for breakfast can be a protein scoop with boiled eggs (last a long time) and mustard. Buy a battery pack also so when your laying down your phone will be charging and just charge it up at work, best 20$ investment I made. I didn’t get to the. Whole solar panels part because the most I went in my car was 2 months during winter
2008 recession really blindsided me, I was going through a divorce and in the process of losing my paid for house. I ended up renting a room for three and a half years and lived in my work truck for 4 months. There was little work in my area for carpenters. It was a really tough time and things didn't really pick up till the summer of 2015 . I'm back on my feet and I'm better prepared for the next recession.
It's scary being all alone and on the streets with no one to call. no family, friends or anyone who cares - choices really do come with consequences. gee, I thought they were just kidding bout that
I remember telling my mother this while I was in tears. I ended up on the street, and I broke down and called her. I told her I don't have any friends to call, because I thought I was doing right by not having any friends, friends cost money and they have you in situations you wouldn't ordinarily be in and they bring drama that you don't need around you. As long as you have a steady job, a place to live and a little money in the bank, that plan works out very well for you. But the downside to that is, when you hit hard times like I did, you won't have anybody to call.
The problem with living in a van or car is where to go to sleep. Where I live here in California if your homeless and live in your van where ever you go they will run you off .
Please read my comments above. I have lived in a bus, and RV, a motor home, station wagon, large sedan and now a subcompact. I have NEVER been stopped living in a sub compact. I can also push it to start and it is easy to get unstuck when in the snow, water or mud.
If I am homeless, I won't be there anymore. I would going postal and took myself out. Life is already shit, no way I live like an animal on drugs. I prefer a short life with luxury and all than a long one with misery.
Great video. I only have business debt for business only. EVERYTHING that I do now is business oriented. As long as I have all my different types of insurances paid for (medical,auto,life, business,travel,etc)I’m ok.I still sleep in vehicles from time to time, only to cut business expenses and convenience
I have one more advice to add. If you are working remotely on the company laptop or even the one in the office and you are saving personal files in it make sure to back it up because the day they lay you off they just shut down your access. Personal files like photos, statements, etc. If possible get another laptop and move all your personal files from the company computer. A less expensive option is buy a portable hard drive with a lot of memory and move all your personal stuff in there.
That's f'd up that we are having these conversations today. People are being priced out of life.

I’m afraid the college grads are going to be in worse shape than the handyman or people with various skill sets. I’m not being snarky, just practical.

The trades are not any better. You cant have a nation of handyman. Then there is an oversaturation of them
@@user-up8vp9sz2d If you possess the skills, you can build your own home without a mortgage, you can do all your own repairs, you can exchange your skills for food, water, shelter, clothes and countless services . Im about to start the interior of a duplex my brother and I built with our own hands.. When complete we will sell the homes we are in and live in the new one mortgage free. The land was bought in 2019 when we realized what was coming, We developed the land to make ready for food production, another skill we learned from our grandparents. An old ford tractor that can be kept going with proper maint. simple knowledge, skill of mechanics. None of these skills can be learned overnight,or by sitting in a class room, it takes yrs to learn by actually doing. When the SHTF youve either got it or you dont. Most of the young do not have any building,plumbing, electrical, mechanical,welding, land development, farming skills of any kind. The old timers complain there arent enough to take their place currently. It will not get saturated for another generation. Need to get the young ones off of social media and video games before that happens.
I lost a brother to suicide because he feared becoming homeless, living in a tent etc. A good friend of mine lost his housing recently and just moved into his van. I volunteered to bring him coffee/food and hangout several times to “help” the transition. We’ve since worked out a deal that he comes over once a week and gets a shower, does laundry and we have dinner and he helps me out with stuff around the house. He parks in a safe lot nearby. Maintaining our friendship through these tough times is really benefiting us both and a real blessing. I couldn’t help my brother, I was too late, but I learned that I CAN do something to help someone going through it so that even though circumstances change they can retain their dignity and know they are seen and cared for no judge. Isn’t this really what we all want? Good friends who offer more than opinions? I may be doing what he’s doing in a few years and he will be a great resource in addition to a true friend. Let’s all get more local and community-minded.
Sorry about your brother
Should have told your Brother he could live on your couch or turned the livingroom into his room
Why didn't you allow your friend to live with you until he got back on is feet? That's the first thing that came to my mind, especially after your brother's suicide? How would you feel if the situation was reversed?
Especially how hot it is now a days. A shower once a week is good but it's HOT 🥵🔥 OUTSIDE.

@@Knightrem she wanted to use my private computer. With my important work. I came from film school. She charged me $900 a month for her spare room in her 2 bedroom apartment. I stayed 8 weeks. So that’s $1800. With that money she could have easily bought her own pc. Or an iPhone 4. This was way back in 2011. Instead she wanted to take that rent money to renovate her apartment.
She went crazy after establishing my own privacy and said no. Then I had to immediately find a new place to live. I could have ended up on the streets, all because of a girl who turned out to be a user. Never trusted a woman again. Especially a feminist. Women need to respect men. That’s the problem with today’s society. Egalitarianism has destroyed western men, and men have had it. If women want to be strong and independent, they can pay for themselves. If I ever let a woman live with me, she needs to be submissive and marriage material. And not have slept with different boys. That kind of woman today doesn’t exist anymore. And it’s sad. Because I know my true worth as a man. When women complain on social media about why they can’t find a good man… I just shrug. These same women probably used and turned away many gold men for a chad. That girl who I stayed with, she didn’t want me. It was just my turn. And I learned never to put myself in that position again!

We're being coralled into digital currency and cyber-life but the fact remains that you can't get a debit card without a physical address. I was homeless or have been a rolling stone for a long time. We live in a parasitic system and they'll squeeze until there's nothing left.

I am arguably the most prepared I can be. I live in a 28 ft travel trailer. I have always been interested in the tiny home movement. Last summer I bought a 1972 Holiday travler in solid condition but it had a leak in the back and needed a complete rehab of the plumbing and electrical. The front kitchen area was in usable condition. It was $1500. I completely replaced the finish flooring, rebuilt the back bedroom, new appliances, new plumbing, new electrical panel with added circuits for all the modern electronics, new toilet, new front couch. I am probably 5k into it now and still need to completely and professionally redo the roof. I patched the leaks and tarped it for now. I plan to do the roof next spring when I have the money. The trailer is parked on a family member’s property now hooked up to their electric and water. They allowed me to install the proper electrical outlet on their house myself and I give them money towards the bill. Well water is free so I don’t have to pay for water. My mail goes to the PO Box associated with the address of the house and it is also my legal address for license, registration, work, etc. even though I live in an RV I don’t consider myself homeless because I have a permanent address and I’m connected to services like electricity, water, internet,etc. it’s just a tiny home to me. Obviously I own the RV outright and if something should happen where I need to move it I can move everything I own for the cost of a U-Haul rental. I live in the state of insanity, I mean New York where everything is stupidly expensive. I see no point in pissing money away in rent when I can own an RV and owe NOTHING to anyone. My housing expenses consist of an electric bill. You can’t beat that with a stick! Eventually I will buy a piece of land somewhere in Tennessee and park my RV there and build a deck and a carport type roof and at some point I will probably buy a newer RV or tiny home but if things continue the way they are going I will likely never have a classic sticks and bricks house and I’m ok with that if it means I can own what I’m living in, even if I might change the ground under it.

Decade ago I sat and visualized myself homeless just to see how I'd survive. If you know you're going to be homeless you need to IMMEDIATELY get a UPS address, so you can have a "resident address", there's also a PO Box loophole. You need to get a free government phone, or a cheap android phone then put it on a $10 plan or use it when near "free wifi". You need to go to a library throughout the day and sit in areas that aren't populated to draw attention, especially to stay warm in the winter. Get a cheap gym membership with showers before becoming homeless, if you have a car live in it, i'd sleep in well lit areas at walmart, or other places, use your car for gig work and work at an actual job, you need a street address to work, that's where UPS (mentioned earlier) comes in handy. Practice intermittent fasting, and eating once per day or alternate day fasting to eat every other day, this will train you to avoid hunger.

You could change your address to a shelter. Unfortunately you might be using the same address as convicted felons but at least your would be able to show a cop your drivers license.
lol, sorry
Been there twice, mostly due to medical health issues and economics. I don’t blame anyone but I do wish I had trusted my gut ahead more than trusting those I didn’t know well and trusted too quickly.
You are not alone, many people have suffered "White Coat Syndrome" where they have put their trust in doctors and the medical industry as a whole. But today, we need to Start using our "bull§hit detector," our survival instinct, and common sense when dealing with the medical institutions. Out of need and growing in numbers, there are now more holistic practitioners out there and most of these centers except medical insurance. So, before taking prescribed Rx, do your research on the long term effects of these drugs, and also, go and visit/get to know and ask questions at the different holistic practitioners.
I’ve already experimented with living in my small car (2004 Chrysler PT cruiser I’m over 6 feet tall) for one year back in 2019/20 during the start of the pandemic so I’m confident I can live that lifestyle. I work a job that was wearing me down among other life experiences and so I gave up on everything except working. During the time of living in my car I saved a significant amount of money and continued to save money after being housed again right up until this day. I’ll be able to collect pension in about six more years along with money I continue to save, I’m looking to live in my vehicle again during retirement not because I have to, but because I find it makes the most sense in today’s troubled housing market.
Thats an intelligent thought, plus if your neighbors start cutting up, you can drive away from it.

That’s what Bob Wells says on his UA-cam channel. If you don’t like your surroundings simply turn the key and drive away. It’s so true!

Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..
Hello!! how do you make such monthly, I’m a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself 😭 because of low finance but I still believe God
Hi that's good you have idea &share to those who deserve it that's great god bless🙏🙏
Can I also do it??? My life is facing lots of challenges lately
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
So nice to see Christy Fiore talked about here, her good works are speaking already, and like wildfire she's spreading.
Took the backseats out of my pontiac montana and i was able to get a full size matress in there and i sleep great.
I've had a strong feeling about this exact same thing for a while now. We can either ignore it or brace for impact.
I have been homeless since I was a kid. Rule number one you must be able to adapt. So best if you start hiking, camping etc. if you become homeless you will have your gear. Shelter, sleeping food storage, water purification system. And most important get your mind and body used to the elements. Oh and basic wildlife survival skills will be great, as well as self defense. Because desperate people live in the shadows
Lucky you. I have been domesticated since birth & have no real survival skills for wild life. I’m still learning though
@@moonlightstargem1006 you got this my friend
You actually have valid skills in this environment now. There will be many who need to learn your skills. You have something mannnny now will need.
💯💯
@@mnieder5300and always learn a trade as well. For example, I can rebuild a vehicle. Meaning I can repair my own vehicle, and or in trade to others for money or resources.
This is the most helpful thing someone could ever be told or reminded. It should be the law
I firmly agree with your title 🙏God bless us and save us from this evil
I agree you should plan for homelessness just be prepared just in case
I am ready sir. Bring it on! Rock and Roll! Air, Water, Food, Clothing, Medicines. Shelter and a Plan. No job for 15 years. I have lived in my car for a few years and I am ready. it is a Sub compact with a stick shift and it carries Everything that I need. I tried larger vehicles and learned that I do not need more space. Many advantages to smaller. I can literally push to start on flat ground.. My bed extends from the rear trunk to the front seat. I use home made black curtains for privacy. High has mileage if you need to drive and leather seats for comfort. Bag ice for cooling in the summer. I can park in a residential area and no one has any idea. I can boon dock anywhere. I do not carry along extra gas. I do not need it with >40 mpg, gas is stinky, takes up room and flammable. it just gets in the way whole actually living in my car. If a cop checks me out, it does not look like i am homeless, no reason for guns out and nasty attitude.
100. Been living in a Civic for 6 years, with a small detour staying with a relative during pandemic and then a homeless shelter after he assaulted me. I didn't intend for it to be this way but you are correct. I think about getting a van at times, probably more for day use and then still keep the car and go sleep in it because the benefits are huge as you say. Work van + sleep in car, doesn't sound bad (my profession is computer / IT work, but I'm a dish washer now for lack of space to do IT on the daily). Thanks.
@@ispoogedaily Tell me about your IT experience? I had a Midlevel management job with about 200 employees. One day I decided I could do better and I quit. I leaned that there are many highly paid jobs that can not be advertised. These are real jobs where competence the only factor that is measured. If you do not help your client reach their goal with ZERO excuses then you get to continue receiving assignments. One slight error and its goodbye forever. What kind of work? Investigating insurance claims. Insurers HATE paying claims so there is always work.. They don't like paying you more than the claimant. No office politics, meetings or reports. Income is only limited by your abilities and results.
I agree man. Its getting scary out here.
Imagine living through the Great Depression.
Globally the world populated has doubled and the cost of living continues to be doubling! Troubling times ahead of us! We must 🙏!
Natural disasters, economic collapse and social unrest. Seems as though I read somewhere that this would happen...
This system is collapsing and being reset. Revelation 13. Revelation 13:16-18 and Ezekiel 7:19. Psalm 37:18-19.
Definitely, we are living in the end of this civilization. 😢
@@ErikamGarthat's good news. It's like a reset button
@@sokawai5 Yes, it is good, we cant handle living this way any more.
the great reset
You don't need a job. You just need a way to get money. Find odd jobs or start your own small business.
I prep as if I am going camping. Get the basics. A sleeping bag, food, water.
My uncle, when he was wanting to move out of his parents house, lived in his truck at a campground.
I have an apartment and an income and I'm 'STILL' thinking about what I would do if it all went away. I literally have a whole plan mapped out. It's crazy we have to think that way.
Its disgusting that anyone has to live under threat of homelessness at any given time. In a healthy society, we would take care of our people with universal basic income/housing. Life can turn into a nightmare very quickly without such a safety net.
It's not healthy. It's an illusion of a dream but it's a nightmare to pay for a home 40 years and still dont own it. Or pay yearly taxes on a car that I cant drive if u cant pay registration fees and taxes. It's a nightmare.
In a healthy society, we'd have tight knit famlities and communities. They have been decimated.
I don't drive a vehicle today but have an apartment. It's a sacrifice I've made to afford cost of living today. If you're not lazy and live in a small town walking and biking is a great way to save money and stay in good shape.
Live in a small town? Lazy? Walk Everyday? Yea that’s not doable
Truth
I might live off my bike, and use my local bike path to go from town to town, since I can teach breaking, and do performances to make a little cash on the side.
Even though I love having AC and having a nice place to relax at the end of the day, I still hate paying rent.
Buy a van over an suv, theres way more room
Exactly what i did for this reason 😊take care everyone
4 door truck with 6 foot bed and camper shell ain't bad either.
Cargo van ... thats what ive been in since 2020 ... having a 12v refrigerator is TRULY TRULY a life saver & game changer... also water filters for wildlife living conditions
Get a used van & solar NOW!
Got access to minivan, also a full size van. And a pop-up camper.
*it's getting to the point, people are living in their cars, because they can't afford rent* I went from paying in full , to payments. It's like damn...
I finally bought a minivan last year but it is financed. I always wanted one and i dont have kids except a cat. I use it for my side hustle as a mobile massage therapist. I just got a job offer praise God that will give me a desk job and a break on my body and witglh benefits and no commute. I plan to keep my weekend spa job as well to pay everything off and stack cash. I need a vacation but its nowhere near a priority. Coming up with new ideas to keep investing in my skills and make income, im also a Notary so like you said, stay vigilant.. also just found out how to delete most of my info off the internet for privacy and keep accounts secure. Sleep and a hot bath are vacations to me. I pray everyone is in good health. Take your B vitamins and drink plenty of water 💧 ❤
This is why i have been trying to stress to ppl to not to have kids. Bringing someone into this mess is not a good idea. But who cares.
Just about 44 million Americans, including 13 million children, don't have enough to eat and won't know where their next meal will come from. That's just about one out of every eight Americans. Absolutely shameful for the so-called "best nation on Earth".
american povery is around 15% and the povery threshold is under 23$ a day and its growing..fast.
Compare that to the 4 nordic country's(sweden norway finland denmark) that dont even have 1% poverty or even se-asia Thailand that have 6% poverty and its falling every year
For those who have no money to buy a car (like me) buy an electric bike and build a bicycle caravan/camper. Im doing it now and holly molly it cost nothing yet provides me a home with a mini kitchen, bed can even take shower in. Be creative folks and don't think about what others might say. Good luck everyone
Thank god I just bought a house and a commercial lot Downtown Miami outright. I was almost homeless after I sold my apartment building in NYC.
Dude, you're far from struggling.😅
Keep faith man but its crazy how hard it is to find a good job cuz they not even calling back , rent so expensive , food so expensive
Right on my friend,had painting business in calif.worked hard for many years,I needed to save money,to finish my retirment home,in the caribbean,the only way i could ,push the project was to live in my safari van for12 years.not fun but i needed to make a final effort to get out of Calif..I would sleep in the motel parking lots,had 4 motels i would rotate in,so i would not attract attention.enter about 8.oopm leave 5.30 am. Central calif. Coast.I could have afforded a nice apt.in avila bch.was my own choice to live like that.faith in Christ saw me through.the worst part is not the living. Conditions,but it is
the public humiliation,and the embarrisment you feel from friends and new aqaintances.
I'm in my 3rd year, and I wholeheartedly agree. It's not the condition, it's the judgment. After 3 years, I have learned to tune it out mostly. 😮
Enjoy your golden years..
Naysayers will nay all day until they find themselves in a similar situation then they ask for advice 😂
I realized this years ago, because you can have a job and still not be able to afford an apartment or house; The monthly income a lot of people make is only slightly more than what rent cost; So you either can't get approved for an apartment or you get approved but will only have about $200 or $300 for yourself after bills are paid; Insanity
YEssiiir... NOMADS ,, MINIMALISTS ,, this system BRED us to be dependent tho! its our fault for ALLOWING this to continue!
Your wide variety of friends and family will face the enviable....broke, no car, homeless with over $20,000. In debt. The middle class will fall harder than the poor class.
Sorry to hear about your situation, I wish you the best of luck.
You mean Gods people prepare. Becaus the world will shake hands with the devil when things start to get hard.. I refuse even now i refuse to work for this ssytem but we gotta sustain.
I heard that🦁
Another problem is is that the dollar is going to be worthless. The deal with Saudi arabia is REALLY bad for the people of this country.
My dream is to have a double decker bus set up. I need private land to own to place it.
Start your land search now, it took me 5 yrs of looking to find the right pc for the right price. Find a parcel far enough out where there are no restrictions and or zoning so you can do whatever you want without regulations.
trouble is- in the future- what is accessible to the homeless now- will be gone.... most retailers will be history- resources and provisions will be scarce and people will be desperate- no this won't be a recession or depression- it is going to be far far worse- plan carefully. even in the best of times in America- we are all one serious health issue away from homelessness and bankruptcy - with the exception of the privileged.... now the horizon is on another level... and sadly those responsible for this will remain comfy.
Things are very scary. And they're getting scarier.
Facts!!!
Im a veteran and was homeless for 2 years and got my current place and just got noticed my lease is not getting renewed because there selling it. And if i dont find a place then ill be back in the same situation
I don't know where you are but please look into what agencies in your community have SSVF funding. Your local VA can refer you. There are so many landlords selling and a lot of veterans end up in this dilemma. There are agencies that can assist you with this transition into a new place. ❤
Sorry to hear that 😕
Stick to vehicle living... don't even bother going back into a regular apartment/house
I went threw that situation last year. I literally went out with a friend, got back home to see the letter on the door. I managed to find another place but I keep getting laid-off from jobs now. It's frustrating!
Never be ashamed of having a roommate or moving back in with family.
Hi there, I am new to the channel and this is a timely video as I have recently been looking in to buying a larger car (SUV) to live in. I have a good job and have had this job for over 20 years but I have never felt totally comfortable to the point where this topic doesn’t come across my mind, particularly during economic downturns; and now we have this terrible economy.
I like many of you know what is coming next, and that is mass lay-offs across all sectors and that knowledge demands that you prepare…NOW!
Thanks for the video bro......Your realness earned a new subscriber.
Brother Andrew your tips are great, i was thinkingbof a rv van with oitchen,living room ,bathroom. I have to save more money. Your space innyour home looks nice with the brick look. We all are saving more,spending less, we pray in CHRIST name we won't be homeless !🙏🏽
When I got laid off in 2010, I started a one-man business cleaning short sale homes. It was hard work but I treated it like job.
I was on the job the same time every day, took a 30 min. lunch just like a regular job and kept a daily schedule.
It worked out and helped me get through a very tough time.
By the way, I have Ph.D. but I was and am grateful that God gave me the strength to do that kind of work because I was in my early 50s. I would do it again if I had to.
I worked as a janitor and got through school doing manual labor.
Good on you Mr. David for making it work!!!! I’ve learned through some documentaries that many people with advanced degrees are homeless and on tough times.. I have a Master’s in Education and had to spend some time in my car too ~ I fell ill a year after graduating, couldn’t work and had no family or friend support ~ To be honest, it was a refreshing change, I’m not advocating for car living, but I got some of the best sleep ever!!!
@@Brandy3319
Thanks for the response. I hope you are doing better now. I wish you all the best in life.
Yes. A degree doesn't ensure that we get a job, it only gives us some more choices.
I brought a little suv just in case I have to live in it as well. I hope I don't have to but it certainly beats a tent.
Am 64 and cleaning school sometimes I ask God to take me home I no longer like this sets of people
Great job bro.
@@lynfoster6493 I feel you on that, it's been hard since my husband died. We were together for 25 years, love & miss him everyday.
It’s called preparing for the worst, hoping for the best 🤷🏻♂️
What an informative video. I've been feeling the pinch for three years with being self-employed as a gardener.
I've had to up my marketing and knowledge to stay in the game.
If not, I would be forced to give it up. I tell people including family about the journey, they don't care to much.
I finally got £2500 of debts paid off and did a quick spring clean, and the boiler and cooker went calput. I was saving hard for new windows but unlikely to have them done this coming winter.
I also keep money aside for unexpected expenses and done an ongoing maintenance excel sheet to monitor bills.
It's tough as I don't have a supportive partner etc.
Homeless has always on the outskirts of my mind.
Keep up the useful work brother
Great video. Thank-you for sharing your thoughts and advice.
Even if a person has a lot of federal reserve notes, they're not going to be worth anything when shit hits the fan.
This is still the playing out of 2008, they kicked the can until it became an anvil. I went to college, I'm 44 and am preparing for homelessness. I see the homeless increase around me every day.
I actually had a dream about something like that, and the best thing we can do is pray to God that it doesn't happen
Some CAN'T afford to be homeless because some with certain medical conditions CAN'T be without shelter
Thank you Andrew for sharing.
God sometimes has to take it all away for us to understand what’s important. There’s going to be testing and some repeat exams. No one likes to be uncomfortable but it’s for our own good.
This is sickening having this conversation he's talking like this nightmare is just something your going to have to get use to and this will be the new norm just adjust and you'll get use to it
that is soo nuts how having college certs in this day and age only grants grads a double-digit hourly wage and not a career salary, cept for high level hospital or legal-type jobs. hope everyone finds their way in this craziness
I don't need to prepare for homelessness...I already am😅
Your ahead of the game. Many ppl ain't gonna survive homelessness. They will be swan diving off skyscrapers. Meanwhile the homeless already know game and how to survive.
Same here homie. But right now I'm in the process of convincing my ex to take me in ONLY because I'm injured with a fractured arm. Pray for me 😆
👍👍
@@carleonking1852😮😮😮
Thanks for advice.
I’ve been homeless twice the past 2 years, I make really good money in oil but took out more in loans than I could chew. It was scary at first but after a while I preferred it, rents been 1500$ a month for a decent place, so I was able to pocket that for a couple months. First night is kind of scary but as long as you have your stuff in storage they make inflatable beds for all kinds of trucks / cars now, get good window tinting, keep a pew pew nearby in arms length reach. Debt is what led me to this point but it helped me bounce back a lot faster and get back on my feet rather than thinking of how I’m going to pay this loan with this bill coming up.
If you feel homelessness coming try it before it even happens start building out your vehicle a couple weeks to months in advance, plan places you can park next to work, get consistent in the gym and showering in there, also for food wise I bought a bunch of chipotle bowls and left it in my work freezer and asked for extra rice / beans and ate that for lunch / dinner 1 bowl a day, and for breakfast can be a protein scoop with boiled eggs (last a long time) and mustard.
Buy a battery pack also so when your laying down your phone will be charging and just charge it up at work, best 20$ investment I made.
I didn’t get to the. Whole solar panels part because the most I went in my car was 2 months during winter
Having been homeless twice in my lifetime, Let's just say I have more than a little experience in that area when SHTF.
Recommend moving to the Whitehouse.
New sub, pertinent content💯 Thank you.
2008 recession really blindsided me, I was going through a divorce and in the process of losing my paid for house. I ended up renting a room for three and a half years and lived in my work truck for 4 months. There was little work in my area for carpenters. It was a really tough time and things didn't really pick up till the summer of 2015 .
I'm back on my feet and I'm better prepared for the next recession.
Even if you buy a house , you still dont own it, if you dont pay your taxes every year they finna come and grab it 😂
It's scary being all alone and on the streets with no one to call. no family, friends or anyone who cares - choices really do come with consequences. gee, I thought they were just kidding bout that
Well, in this case, the choices of the few hyper wealthy is causing trickle down consequences for the rest of people globally.
The problem is that the system is making the situation you described … a loner homeless on your own… the only choice more and more people have.
@@timothydowd4180 I agree, but just because they create the playground don't mean we are forced to play in it?
I remember telling my mother this while I was in tears. I ended up on the street, and I broke down and called her. I told her I don't have any friends to call, because I thought I was doing right by not having any friends, friends cost money and they have you in situations you wouldn't ordinarily be in and they bring drama that you don't need around you. As long as you have a steady job, a place to live and a little money in the bank, that plan works out very well for you. But the downside to that is, when you hit hard times like I did, you won't have anybody to call.
Good message...Thanks 4 sharing!
The problem with living in a van or car is where to go to sleep. Where I live here in California if your homeless and live in your van where ever you go they will run you off .
Please read my comments above. I have lived in a bus, and RV, a motor home, station wagon, large sedan and now a subcompact. I have NEVER been stopped living in a sub compact. I can also push it to start and it is easy to get unstuck when in the snow, water or mud.
I am in Australia. I think if the homeless crises evolves further then who is going to "police" it?
@@janshelton7436drones, robots & the few people the patriarchy will keep on a payroll to keep policy going
@@janshelton7436the police. Course thw state always keeps the cops getting a bit above.poverty to avoid riotimg
Wouldn't they still run you off without a vehicle? At least you will have shelter.
You aint never lied brother. I KNOW I live paycheck!!!!
I'm buying a small rv just in case,things are too uncertain for my comfort don't want to sleep on the street.
I AM A VETERN and was homeless 3 years. Very lucky my car was paid for. It is a tough road. The people that take advantage of you are the worst part.
If I am homeless, I won't be there anymore. I would going postal and took myself out. Life is already shit, no way I live like an animal on drugs. I prefer a short life with luxury and all than a long one with misery.
New sub good convo bro 💪🏾
It’s crazy because for the last year homelessness has sounded so wonderful in comparison.
This is the shift.
I'm feeling it to.
Great video. I only have business debt for business only. EVERYTHING that I do now is business oriented. As long as I have all my different types of insurances paid for (medical,auto,life, business,travel,etc)I’m ok.I still sleep in vehicles from time to time, only to cut business expenses and convenience
I have one more advice to add. If you are working remotely on the company laptop or even the one in the office and you are saving personal files in it make sure to back it up because the day they lay you off they just shut down your access. Personal files like photos, statements, etc. If possible get another laptop and move all your personal files from the company computer. A less expensive option is buy a portable hard drive with a lot of memory and move all your personal stuff in there.
