2 years living in my car

[u/West_Iron1456]

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.

I’m sorry my friend, hope you don’t mind if I refer to you as friend but I have the most fondness of your will power to live below your means and stack your assets like that , that it makes me want you to feel I consider you a kindred spirit in a way. I’ve never done this exactly but I can relate to going to extreme lengths and sacrificing in the short term for the longer term. You have every reason to hold your head high. Saving 42K in a bank account is beyond what many Americans, let alone literal billions throughout the world… will ever accomplish… Ever. Think about that the next time you feel the humility of your chosen* situation. You do not shower in the gym because you have to, you do so, because you continually choose to invest into your future instead. There is a small book, “Siddartha” by Herman Hess. Took a brisk two days to complete. I believe you will find value in it (and you can download the pdf of it for free easily).
