150k by 35
sad!
This, he's an amerishart. He should have that as a yearly salary.
Most americans make less than 50k and are stuck with 5 figures of debt.
> Yearly salary
> Doesn't take into account only top 20% of Americans make $150k+
> Doesn't take into account cost of living outside of housing is already high + taxes + benefits ass raping your paycheck
So that's that. Have you ever tried living in America? Have you owned your own home and dealt with all of it's liabilities?
So now owning a home isn’t all it’s cracked up to be? Can you fucking homosexuals pick a narrative and stick to it?
The live in a van and it being a good thing narrative is only recently emerging
And on top of that, it's a narrative that many don't like because they need someone to pay their mortgage, so it won't be promoted
Imagine the smell
>literally living in a van down by the river
It won't be long before israelites force the government to make that illegal. Letting people live in vans is antisemitic and unfair to all those productive israeli landlords.
its already illegal retard
It won't be long before israelites force the government to take actions against this illegal activity. Letting people live in vans is antisemitic and unfair to all those productive israeli landlords.
they already do retard
>they already do retard
If that was the case people wouldn't be able to live in their van for three years now, would they?
>SIR!!!! SIR!!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!!
>YOU NEED TO SIGN A 12+ MONTH LEASE OR A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE.
>NO, YOU -- YOU CAN'T JUST LIVE IN A CAR.
>IT'S ILLEGAL AND IT'S WRONG.
>YOU NEED TO SIGN A LEASE OR A MORTGAGE AND WORK 160 HOURS A MONTH JUST FOR SHELTER.
>HOUSING NEEDS TO COST AT LEAST 30% OF YOUR TAKE-HOME INCOME!!!!!
>A. LEASE. OR. A. MORTGAGE.
>NO, YOU CAN'T JUST RENT A PRIVATE PARKING SPOT FOR $300 A MONTH.
>NO, YOU CAN'T JUST BUY A PRIVATE PARCEL OF LAND AND LIVE IN A TENT.
>BECAUSE -- BECAUSE COUNTY ZONING REGULATIONS PROHIBIT IT!!!!!!
>LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS? NO!!!!!!!!!!
yep thats exactly what the black female cop knocking on your car window will look and sound like
Yes but is it RACIST, SEXIST, and ANTI-SEMITIC?
Those 3 magic words are how you get the normgroids to really support cracking down.
i hope that retard buys bitcoin and loses it all, lmao
Wtf lmao only $150k? I bought a house at 24 for $200k and now at 34 it is worth $450k. I've got a hell of a lot more than $150k in stonks and crypto too.
anon not a single person believes that your plywood box pumped 9% a year for the past 10 years. zestimates aren't reality. meds, now.
I live in a coastal city, that's what clones of my house have been selling for in my neighborhood. And mine is nicer, we did nicer updates. But anywhere you could have beat out $150k van dweller lol.
My shack went from 200k to 410 2018-22. Down to 380 now, but still
imagine if you bought bitcoin instead of that cardboard box house.
>it is worth $450k
now try selling it for that much
That would be overboard for me. You can live humbly and comfortably with a trailer and a cheap acre somewhere in Appalachia.
Yea why not. Minivan with dark tint and a sleeping bag. Shower at work or gym or friends place. Boom
I would probably spend way more living in my car than my shitty apartment with a roommate. I pay 980/mo right now. No way that really adds up to more than a piss in the bucket of a down payment in Colorado.
If I was single and didnt have pets I'd do it for sure. Have lived in my car briefly before, not by choice. Even as a canucklehead like myself it's doable in the winter. Free overnight underground parking at the mall in my town which has big hot air vent at the back, as long as you leave before 6 am. Or you get an electric heater and plug it into a public block heater plug. In the summer you just need to park in the shade. You never need to idle the vehicle. Definitely a good idea to put a hidden kill switch in your vehicle to prevent theft of your home, and keep some melee weapons handy. If I was american I'd obviously have a gun in the car.
But it's definitely not necessary to live in a van to save money.

this sounds like you're describing a game of Rust
Oh yeah I forgot to mention there is free wifi literally everywhere if you are urban
good way to get your crypto stolen.
With the way rent prices are going yeah it's probably going to become a more common thing
But as others anons said, many landlords are in fact israeli, this is not conspiracy, but rather a factual statement that can easily be backed up by merely searching up places to rent and half the names end in shweitz or whatever
As soon as standard college graduates who would normally rent when they get out of college, turn to van life for the first 3-5 years, they will bring the hammer down. They don't care if poor people are being homeless, but when the educated upper middle class chooses to go homeless for a duration, a lot of people who would normally make money, will not anymore. And the powers that be will see this as "an attack on democracy" or whatever because people making 6 figures are CHOOSING to stay in a van
Imagine the seethe if a landlord knew a 6 figure earner toured their unit, and the reason they never called back was because they felt living in the back of their van would be a better and more hassle free experience.
If you're going to live in a van, you'll need to get a po box, and a gym membership, just for a shower at least, to be able to keep a job. not a bad thing since being visibly muscular helps with the psychological aspects of a pay raise, hr hoes dont know how to deal with their subconscious desires and nosebergs get intimidated by physical presence so you should use it for it's weights as well.
>Protip, planet fitness offers free donuts, pizza and bagels, allowing you to save on food as well.
>what is a cloth
Fuck your gym membership, rabbi.
nagger, a PF membership is $10, I spend more than $10/m on fucking hot water, there's fungal, and there's retard-penny-pinching, not having a gym membership if vanhoboing is full retard
>planet fitness offers free donuts, pizza and bagels,
Do Americans really?
Americans have that much net worth by the age of 24 on average.
Who is this failure?
>by the age of 24 on average
24? High school graduates have that much at 18. You must have had incompetent parents.
perhaps in the future it may be but it doesn't really make sense now that work from home is widespread and theres still so many cheap countries
The norm is living with your parents but i guess in amerishart land your parents force you to live in a car instead
Where do you shower/shit?
Jobs require you to have an address
how?
>shower/shit
planet fitness gym membership
>address
PO box and/or paying a friend or family member to pretend you live there.
Like the other anon said, you get a gym membership, they have showers, some of the nicer gyms even have soap and stuff on the walls.
For an address you use a PO box duh
You have money you aren't poor, you have resources.
$150k in 3 years is decent. I put $150k into a home over 5 years and I got about $250k of profit out of it total so far, so probably similar except I own a home worth $800,000 and can withdraw $400k in equity when I sell and he doesn't even have enough for the down payment on a house like mine and lives in a car.
i love the idea of it, but shitting is the deal breaker for me. where are you shitting? in public restrooms? you know people with herpes and ass aids use those right? you wanna get ass AIDS??
You're looking at it the wrong way. Since you're never shitting in YOUR toilet, you're never cleaning the mess. I've absolutely destroyed some Walmart toilets in my time, but imagine being able to drop XXL splatterfest supremes every shit, every day, and then just leaving without a care in the world. That's some wagie's problem. Truly a free way of life. Vangoers are true American patriots.
Just shit wherever you feel like like a true American settler. As soon as the urge hits, I drop, pop, and roll out. Ain’t my problem.
Good morning sir.
Living in your car is immoral.
There is a name for people who live in vehicles. Homeless.
What if its a mobile home?
being sick would be tough
>desire attention
>OMG I SAVED SO MUCH BEING A DEGEN IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER
meanwhile, actual chads buy house at 25 for 200k and live there 10 years. then be 35 and have a house worth 600k. and also dont live in a van.
It is , but you need to be quite careful. I lived in my van for two months in the parking lot of an out of business Arby's. The first month was fine but then a few ghosts noticed the building was abandoned and moved in as well. They'd sometimes come right up to my side windows at 4am just staring in at me. They didn't do any harm but it was eerie, and I noticed adult diapers were piling up behind my car, so eventually I moved back in with my uncle
It's based and redpilled kek, I'd do that if I didn't need an internet connection to keep KAVA on track
You still have your phone, that should be enough
you don't actually need a house for that, just go to a place with free wi-fi lmao
Stupid ass reason if you ask me
fuck jannies
literally could have just lived with his parents be comfy and save the same amount. Use the Van for fucking.
>thread died after I posted
Looks like my job here is done
sure, if it makes you a millionaire by 35 though not a measly 150k, that's not even worth the discomfort
Only if your workplace has a gym+showers, free meals, maybe a park, and the summer nights aren't too hot.
