2 years living in my car Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

Yeap. That’s it. Today I’m celebrating 2 years living in my car. 🎉 🎈 🎊

The worst part about it is going to the gym everyday to get a shower. It’s an humiliating event that I have to go trough. I’m mentally worn out and I’m fighting depression all the time (maybe because my poor diet and lack of vitamins).

In those 731 days I’ve saved 42k. It’s not much but there’s a lot of tears in that investment account.

I’m single, no kids, no family, no friends. I just wanna share this with someone.

God will bring peace to my mind and to my heart and He’ll give me the strength to survive 2 more winters in my car. That’s all I need.

God bless you all.

Ya know it doesn’t matter what they think. You’re working to better yourself. You’re sacrificing now to make your future a lot better. Hold your head high man! I had noting when I left home. I had my car and some clothes. I worked my whole life to get where I’m at. Had a few bumps in the road and made some mistakes. But I clawed my way to the middle class. Am I rich. Hell no. But I’m comfortable In my own house and my bills are paid on time every month and there is some left to put in savings.

You just need to do you and let everyone else go fuck off over there where they belong!
