    Romain, this series is A+++!!! It feels like a documentary AND finance, almost athropological study. Money truly is a common thread by which we all live, but we all can navigate it in our own ways! These people are really showing that you don't need to live like everyone else to survive in this world. I love that

    Fascinating story. This man is really wheeling and dealing there in Slab City the best he can. He is making a living there, more or less. I am sure the bathroom and shower give him nice chunk change. I do not ever encourage racking up credit cards and then refusing to pay them. Yikes! LOL Thank you, Romaine for another vlog in Slab City. This place is amazing - I never knew these things about this place.

      @@itsRomainFaure watched it in full and it was fantastic. It not only provided numbers but also followed him through how he earned money through the year and kept me very engaged to listen. I thought it was hilarious the conversation you two had about his credit card usage and I really look forward to seeing how you continue your channel with the wide variety you provide us subscribers! I think it could be very interesting to have you as an almost financial traveler who visits certain locations, interviews people in that location, and learn how they live and their finances. It gives you not only flexibility into topics, but also some fun of expanding the way your channel could be marketed. And it might be fun if this became a career that you could literally travel and enjoy yourself for work. But thats just me thinking aloud lol.

    I lived in the Virgin Island s for a few years in a little pink cottage overlooking the caribbean ocean. I met a young guy age 28 who lived in the woods. He slept in a hammack high up in the trees - the hammack had a misquoto net over it. He had a rock for a coffee table - a mirror hung on a tree trunk so he could shave. He made straw hats out of palm leaves and sold them to the tourist. He did not have any regular job - he showered down the road at a friends house who had an outdoor shower. He had no rent bills, no electricity bills, no gas bills, - no bills at all - he would run up a food bill at the cafe down the road on the bay where he ate breakfast and dinner . He would run up a $200 bill each month and pay it at then end of the month. He was an Irish/Italian American from Connecticut - his father worked back in the states in a nuclear power plant. He did not get along with his dad, and as a teenager he was slow in school because he had dyslexia and the doctor diagnosed him with a brain tumor but he said , no not me and ran away to live on a tropical island and he has been living in that tree for over eight years. That was back in 1993. He was still there when I left the island.

      @missmia196 unfortunately, she had an addiction for a lot of her adult life, so we didn't see her while she was using and she got sick from sharing needles. She and her husband lived in their community for about 30ish years. She always had a family to come back to if she ever didn't want to live in the community. I remember her taking a couple of breaks to get clean and sobriety finally stuck, but she always wanted to go back where she felt the most cared for.
