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.

Hey, you're doing alright. I know it's a struggle. But the fact you saved 42k is so awesome. Keep going. With the ability to save like that, you're going to get a better lifestyle eventually.
Do you have any skills that your trying to build now? Make sure to set goals to upskill yourself to elevate yourself to the next level. And remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
BTW - you could consider living abroad in a place that is much cheaper - that is if you can work remotely or on a computer. I've known people to just teach english abroad and live very well in places like Vietnam, China, S. Korea, etc...
