"Beat the IRS with this one simple trick. Auditors hate him."
Reminds me of this video I was watching on tiny homes. This guy converted a school bus into a home for him, his wife, and three children. And he was totally over-selling everything in it. Going on an on about how you can hang stuff here and there to save space. How the counters can be used for this and that and how multipurpose they are (like most flat surfaces). How everything is able to be cleaned. Etc.
And I'm like "Cool, it is a small space and you've managed to fit everyone inside to whatever degree of success you are comfortable with, but your 'dryer' is literally hanging clothes and turning on the heater."
I'm sure you can live like that. I'm sure you can manage living effectively homeless and with the barest of cash to buy whatever you need day to day. But that also requires a level of commitment and hustle I just don't want to deal with. I want to go home, watch Netflix, noodle on my guitar, build some Legos, whatever. Without having to think "Well, where should I sleep tonight that won't get me stabbed or dead from exposure"
- forgotmypw 8y agoTo each his own, I guess. I am always home and free to do those things. I have yet to be stabbed or die from exposure.
- bena 8y agoWhere is home? You've mentioned elsewhere that you couchsurf. That's pretty much just mooching off of someone else's largess. And without a permanent, private residence where do you keep things like a guitar or built models? Being able to live "cash free" because you are able to stay with people who will let you crash rent free is more exploitative than savvy in my opinion.
