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.@@TLA123y6f

@@mikesmoth-v4w 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.
That's what I've been saying! This is a time to be "Conservative" in ones spending! And don't believe the lies about the economy doing great. Why so many layoffs, bankruptcies, snd store closings if things are so great?
This is the biggest one. I don't get my $15 meal from chickfila every day, I go to walmart, get a bag of chicken, buns, sauce, fries, that's $25 that'll last me a week or two. People don't manage their dang money these days.
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 $1,870/month just for a decent place to live is absurd. Back to living out of my work truck I go. These bills are holding me back and slowing down my long term goals.
The summer months are tough on 90+ days, i feel like its alot easier to stay warm than it is to stay cool . I guess that depends on your location too , 100 usually being the hottest and the coldest around 20 degrees where im at
I'm a 35 year old man who isn't married and doesn't have kids. I don't own a house, both my cars are 20 plus years old and paid off, never went to college and live by myself in a cheap but decent apartment. I just go to work and go home and save what I can. Ever since 2012 I knew that the economy was gonna get worse and plus I've seen friends and family struggle that have too many responsibilities. The American dream isn't worth it in this day and age in my opinion.
We're being coralled into digital currency and cyber-life but the fact remains that you can't get a debit card without a physical address. I was homeless or have been a rolling stone for a long time. We live in a parasitic system and they'll squeeze until there's nothing left.
Nowadays you can tap to pay with several apps that provided prepaid debit so that's not really an excuse. Smart phones start at like 30$ 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.
I have a friend who can’t get an ID because he has no home address. His mother sent him off to college and abandoned him when he cameback. How tf do we live in a world where that happens?
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!

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.
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.
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.
@@BBQJames914 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!
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!
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.
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.
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...

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
@@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.
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.
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.

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.
That's pretty much how wife and I want to live but have to buy some land in county, too many restrictions in the city. We own our property but it's actually wayy too small. And we want to have small game meat animals. And have a garden, can/preserve foods, and such. Because the economy truly sucks and I'm not very good with people... But I do have a 32' camper that I need to remodel also. I'm wanting to rip everything out of it to customize it. But it's at my mother's, about 45 minutes from where I live. Have to get my truck repaired here soon, and need to get a couple buildings built on my property first as soon as all this heat passes for the year. But I'm trying to think of how to lighten the weight of the camper. Thinking of putting in maybe pink foam insulation and covering with paint for the interior walls and possibly ceiling. And wiring recessed lights into the ceiling and there's a leak in a rear end corner I need to fix anyhow. But the kitchen sink and such, I'm going to have to I guess leave as is. But I'm thinking solar panels for electric. I don't want to have any bills what so ever. Because utility company owners are screwing their customers by raising costs. It's something that doesn't have to be raised. Only because they are greedy...

*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 was paying over 2k a month in rent. So, I moved out, threw some stuff away, and placed a few things in storage, and moved into my van. I have an LA Fitness gym membership, and they have all the amenities I need. Weights, showers swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and basketball ball court. I'm single, so this makes my life sooo much simpler, and far less stressful. That rent was kicking my butt. 😅😅😅

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 told my followers to buy a tent, sleeping bag, etc.. Become comfortable with the season of discomfort that's coming. If you have a mortgage, you could easily lose your home due to rising homeowners insurance and taxes. So much bad stuff is coming. Thank you for keeping it real. We need this
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 have watched several living in their cars and I think this is a great way to get by and succeed. You all have great ideas and it is refreshing to see folks embracing hard times in the ways I have seen on here. Unless you were born rich, we all have had our struggles.
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 💧 ❤
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.
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.
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 have been homeless five times in my life. If you find yourself homeless, I recommend 1. As soon as you receive your eviction papers, you organize a moving truck and get out of the housing within a month or two. 2. You will most likely lose in court at the eviction hearing. Most landlords will win because they are often just as shady as the judges they appear in front of. 3. Start spending half of your day arranging for a new place to move to. 4. Spend the rest of the day, packing up. 5. Arrange for a storage unit to house your stuff. 6. Arrange for housing temporarily at a shelter until your new apartment or house is ready. 7. Pay your bills from your employment check and/or social security check to meet your car and other personal needs, such as ladies hygiene needs and storage unit fees. 8. If you need to live in your car or van, then arrange for what you need to have in order to live in it for a while. 9. Arrange for care with a relative or friend of your children and pets. Have that arrangement worked out with social services so you don't lose custody of your children. See them as often as humanly as possible, meaning your children and pets, if your pets can't be with you.
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
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!
Brother, you have made some valid points. However, I would think when it comes to family it should be vice versa. They should also know if anything happens to them we need to look out for each other. As far as a van is concerned, Im gonna start looking for one NOW! God bless you and thank you for taking the time. Don't forget to do the second half of this video. 🙏

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.
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!
Just get a trade instead of degrees! I only went to college 1 year, left then became a machinist. Left from being a machinist to working at an oil refinery making about 110k a year. All refineries are hiring and machine shops. There's a small amount of people with mechanical aptitude or even know how to read a tape measure or change a tire smh. Im 33 and grateful to be here.
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.
I was homeless a few years back. I learned what to do and what not to do. I had this car. It kept breaking down. The repair bills sucked up all the little money I had. I was ripped off by mechanics multiple times. The car died one day, and that was that. There was two of us, so we got bicycles with large baskets and loaded our gear on. That worked so much better. It was also easier to hide in the woods, going in spots where cars can't go. My advice? Have a buddy if possible. Two is better than one for safety. Always hide, unless at an official campground. Make sure your camp is well camouflaged. No bright laundry hanging up, no white towels. Only carry the stuff you need. If you have precious possessions, get a friend to hold them for you or rent a small mini bin. Keep money and ID's deep on your person. Try to have lightweight gear. Be able to pack it up quickly. If you think you have drawn attention to yourself, move from that spot. Avoid the city. Go for remote areas. Be able to disappear for one to two weeks without having to resupply. Pick things to eat that don't need to be refrigerated and some things you don't need to cook in case you can't have a fire. Have some water jugs for a water supply. Have some hooks and a fishing line (free food). Cut your hair short, very short. It is easier to be clean that way. Wear dull or camouflage clothing so as not to be easily seen. An unpleasant truth that we had to learn the hard way was that people don't like homeless people. If you can hide the fact that you are one, it is better. They just thought we were two people on a bicycle camping trip. Sometimes on our route, we went to free and cheap campgrounds (not have to hide in that case). We got to have nice conversations with other campers. They just thought we were on vacation too. Sometimes they even gave us the food they had left over when they left! Best of luck to those who find themselves in this position.
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.
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
All I need is the heavenly father. I'm not putting my trust in another human being. God provides for the birds of the air what they eat and drink. We should not worry. I'm training in obedience now and learning to listen to his voice in everything I do. What I don't need is falling away as well people I no longer can be in company of. I didn't remove any of it God did. His spirit has changed me. He is protecting his own in mist of spiritual shake ups that are starting. I am packing light. As many times i have testimony of God providing something out of nothing. He opens doors no man can can shut, and shuts doors no man can open. He is controller of every spirit, good and and the ones turned bad. He is in full control. I trust god and he has removed my worries and I'm standing in his supernatural peace. I will not walk in fear but in the love of the Lord. God bless you all as well❤
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.
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!
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
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
Maybe try to help people or protest governments that make people poor instead of telling others what to do . When’s the best time to have a kid never ? World has always been poor and Great Depressions. The reason we have this bs is from Not enough youth that’s because they were aborted 40 years ago because of Same bs mindset which would have benefited everyone here even retirement and wages lol.
We are focussing on positive things now and believe us, our life is being blessed everyday. We así God to give you the same possibility. Thank you so much for your answer as a joung girl .

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 !🙏🏽
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Usually in an economy that is difficult , people wake up, stop using credit ( even that will be less without warning ) , there's long lines in bankruptcy court to file the right type of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can save what you can afford and the bills you can not pay will be wiped put . Taxes will still be due .. get in line now for bankruptcy. Protection starts when filef and court finishes it . But if you wait , you will stay under the stress .. you don't have to stay in bondage.
I feel like this, your videos came to me at just the right time because I have been contemplating moving into my SUV full-time because rent is sky high and I’m falling behind. I already have a few essentials for my car to start out such as a sleeping pad and some other things but I’m hoping it doesn’t get to that point.
Nah fr though! I have 1k in savings and I don't even know how I am going to manage it during my downfall. I know I'm going to probably end up in a shelter, because I am slowly losing grip to juggle inflation, working a minimum wage job and working on my purpose all together. It's soul-crushing. I keep my suitcase packed with what items I collect...1 suitcase! I'm scared to even buy anything else! Luckily, I already live below my budget BUT it's still hard! I can't even afford to take care of myself. Haven't been to the salon in months!
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 will be a depression worse than 1930s. Ppl will become cannibals. Get saved by Jesus Christ and prepare for the worse and pray for the best because judgement is here.
I been already lowkey preparing for this 😂 once my apartment lease is up I'm going back to mommas just to add to my stash and getting a big van to live in. ON BIG BRUH!
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 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.

@@mikesmoth-v4w 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.

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.
Online banking. Get a UPS store box, it has a regular address, non PO Box address.

@@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!

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.
@@davidmaestas5680what happened?
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.

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.
Your money is going down by 10% every year from inflation
I lived in my truck by choice until I found out my mom and her neighbor were making fun of me.
@@quadgodbeatmachinewhat?
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... If I wasn't born in the 1950's and had a good Government job for 30 years I don't know how my life would have turned out? I feel so sorry for the younger generations, it just keep getting harder and harder...where's it going to end? 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???

@WildGypsyTheCreatrix when you're debt free. The job market doesn't bother you. When you're debt free, you don't work to pay bills. You work to buy assets that pays for your lifestyle. Debt free is true FREEDOM

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...

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

That's what I am doing, getting ready
😂
Get solar panels & a 12volt refrigerator, solo stove & REALLY GOOD camp water filter
yeah i need to get ready because bills and everything keeps going up and my pay not going up.
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.
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 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.
That's pretty much how wife and I want to live but have to buy some land in county, too many restrictions in the city. We own our property but it's actually wayy too small. And we want to have small game meat animals. And have a garden, can/preserve foods, and such. Because the economy truly sucks and I'm not very good with people...
But I do have a 32' camper that I need to remodel also. I'm wanting to rip everything out of it to customize it. But it's at my mother's, about 45 minutes from where I live. Have to get my truck repaired here soon, and need to get a couple buildings built on my property first as soon as all this heat passes for the year. But I'm trying to think of how to lighten the weight of the camper. Thinking of putting in maybe pink foam insulation and covering with paint for the interior walls and possibly ceiling. And wiring recessed lights into the ceiling and there's a leak in a rear end corner I need to fix anyhow. But the kitchen sink and such, I'm going to have to I guess leave as is. But I'm thinking solar panels for electric. I don't want to have any bills what so ever. Because utility company owners are screwing their customers by raising costs. It's something that doesn't have to be raised. Only because they are greedy...
You are blessed to be so handy and you have a great outlook on things. More people need to be creative minded and flexible in these turbulent times. God bless

lol, sorry
*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 agree you should plan for homelessness just be prepared just in case
I was paying over 2k a month in rent.

Remember, life is about the journey, never mind the struggle. The Lord will provide if you regard Him as your Savior. Remember people have STRUGGLED in history.

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.

I've told my followers to buy a tent, sleeping bag, etc.. Become comfortable with the season of discomfort that's coming. If you have a mortgage, you could easily lose your home due to rising homeowners insurance and taxes. So much bad stuff is coming. Thank you for keeping it real. We need this
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 have watched several living in their cars and I think this is a great way to get by and succeed. You all have great ideas and it is refreshing to see folks embracing hard times in the ways I have seen on here. Unless you were born rich, we all have had our struggles.

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.
I regret buying my car at this point. It has cost me way too much money!
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.
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 have been homeless five times in my life. If you find yourself homeless, I recommend 1. As soon as you receive your eviction papers, you organize a moving truck and get out of the housing within a month or two. 2. You will most likely lose in court at the eviction hearing. Most landlords will win because they are often just as shady as the judges they appear in front of. 3. Start spending half of your day arranging for a new place to move to. 4. Spend the rest of the day, packing up.
5. Arrange for a storage unit to house your stuff.
6. Arrange for housing temporarily at a shelter until your new apartment or house is ready.
7. Pay your bills from your employment check and/or social security check to meet your car and other personal needs, such as ladies hygiene needs and storage unit fees.
8. If you need to live in your car or van, then arrange for what you need to have in order to live in it for a while.
9. Arrange for care with a relative or friend of your children and pets. Have that arrangement worked out with social services so you don't lose custody of your children. See them as often as humanly as possible, meaning your children and pets, if your pets can't be with you.
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.
It ended.
For those who have no money to buy a car (like me) buy an electric bike and build a bicycle caravan/camper.

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!
Brother, you have made some valid points. However, I would think when it comes to family it should be vice versa. They should also know if anything happens to them we need to look out for each other.

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 😂
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!!!
I agree man. Its getting scary out here.
Imagine living through the Great Depression.
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.
Van prices are on crack rn though.
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.
Just get a trade instead of degrees! I only went to college 1 year, left then became a machinist. Left from being a machinist to working at an oil refinery making about 110k a year. All refineries are hiring and machine shops. There's a small amount of people with mechanical aptitude or even know how to read a tape measure or change a tire smh. Im 33 and grateful to be here.
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.
I was homeless a few years back. I learned what to do and what not to do. I had this car. It kept breaking down. The repair bills sucked up all the little money I had. I was ripped off by mechanics multiple times. The car died one day, and that was that. There was two of us, so we got bicycles with large baskets and loaded our gear on. That worked so much better. It was also easier to hide in the woods, going in spots where cars can't go.
My advice? Have a buddy if possible. Two is better than one for safety. Always hide, unless at an official campground. Make sure your camp is well camouflaged. No bright laundry hanging up, no white towels. Only carry the stuff you need. If you have precious possessions, get a friend to hold them for you or rent a small mini bin. Keep money and ID's deep on your person. Try to have lightweight gear. Be able to pack it up quickly. If you think you have drawn attention to yourself, move from that spot. Avoid the city. Go for remote areas. Be able to disappear for one to two weeks without having to resupply. Pick things to eat that don't need to be refrigerated and some things you don't need to cook in case you can't have a fire. Have some water jugs for a water supply. Have some hooks and a fishing line (free food). Cut your hair short, very short. It is easier to be clean that way. Wear dull or camouflage clothing so as not to be easily seen.
An unpleasant truth that we had to learn the hard way was that people don't like homeless people. If you can hide the fact that you are one, it is better. They just thought we were two people on a bicycle camping trip. Sometimes on our route, we went to free and cheap campgrounds (not have to hide in that case). We got to have nice conversations with other campers. They just thought we were on vacation too. Sometimes they even gave us the food they had left over when they left!
Best of luck to those who find themselves in this position.
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!!!

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.
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
All I need is the heavenly father. I'm not putting my trust in another human being. God provides for the birds of the air what they eat and drink. We should not worry. I'm training in obedience now and learning to listen to his voice in everything I do. What I don't need is falling away as well people I no longer can be in company of. I didn't remove any of it God did. His spirit has changed me. He is protecting his own in mist of spiritual shake ups that are starting. I am packing light. As many times i have testimony of God providing something out of nothing. He opens doors no man can can shut, and shuts doors no man can open. He is controller of every spirit, good and and the ones turned bad. He is in full control. I trust god and he has removed my worries and I'm standing in his supernatural peace. I will not walk in fear but in the love of the Lord. God bless you all as well❤
😇💕🙏🏽💕😇
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🦁
And in Heaven
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!
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
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
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.
Maybe try to help people or protest governments that make people poor instead of telling others what to do . When’s the best time to have a kid never ? World has always been poor and Great Depressions. The reason we have this bs is from Not enough youth that’s because they were aborted 40 years ago because of Same bs mindset which would have benefited everyone here even retirement and wages lol.
We are focussing on positive things now and believe us, our life is being blessed everyday. We así God to give you the same possibility. Thank you so much for your answer as a joung girl .

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 !🙏🏽
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.
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.
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?
@@Janny12345drones, robots & the few people the patriarchy will keep on a payroll to keep policy going
@@Janny12345the 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.
YEssiiir... NOMADS ,, MINIMALISTS ,, this system BRED us to be dependent tho! its our fault for ALLOWING this to continue!
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.
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
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.
Usually in an economy that is difficult , people wake up, stop using credit ( even that will be less without warning ) , there's long lines in bankruptcy court to file the right type of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can save what you can afford and the bills you can not pay will be wiped put . Taxes will still be due .. get in line now for bankruptcy. Protection starts when filef and court finishes it . But if you wait , you will stay under the stress .. you don't have to stay in bondage.
Always prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Nobody is safe from being homeless.
May the sun guide your way
I feel like this, your videos came to me at just the right time because I have been contemplating moving into my SUV full-time because rent is sky high and I’m falling behind. I already have a few essentials for my car to start out such as a sleeping pad and some other things but I’m hoping it doesn’t get to that point.
Nah fr though! I have 1k in savings and I don't even know how I am going to manage it during my downfall. I know I'm going to probably end up in a shelter, because I am slowly losing grip to juggle inflation, working a minimum wage job and working on my purpose all together. It's soul-crushing. I keep my suitcase packed with what items I collect...1 suitcase! I'm scared to even buy anything else! Luckily, I already live below my budget BUT it's still hard! I can't even afford to take care of myself. Haven't been to the salon in months!
Great video. Thank-you for sharing your thoughts and advice.
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.😅
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 will be a depression worse than 1930s. Ppl will become cannibals. Get saved by Jesus Christ and prepare for the worse and pray for the best because judgement is here.
I would like this twice. Too many people are concerned about the Jones more then Christ
I been already lowkey preparing for this 😂 once my apartment lease is up I'm going back to mommas just to add to my stash and getting a big van to live in. ON BIG BRUH!
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 didn’t go to college” GOOD the only reason I listened to you! Me neither bro I always think about all the time I would of wasted
Thanks for the video bro......Your realness earned a new subscriber.
In California There' s 19,400 people sleeping in cars and trucks , RVs !!!
Oh it’s way more than that trust me
As an old and shot and down in the dumps looking you are this made me
feel better about my impending homelessness.
It’s called preparing for the worst, hoping for the best 🤷🏻♂️
