> I'm quite certain the author of this article would call me homeless. In fact I've been living in my vehicle for 3 years while driving around Africa, and I've never been happier in my life. Certainly night and day compared to when I was working a Desk as a Software Engineer, renting a nice place.
There is a difference between you, who has taken a conscious decision _not to own_, and has the means to drive around Africa, and someone who has no choice but to do that in order to support a precarious existence as a social media content producer in Hollywood.
- bluGill 8y agoThat social media producer in Hollywood chose that as well. He could move to a number of cities where the cost of living is lower. He could have gone to school and become a brain surgeon which would pay for a nice house even in Hollywood.
- kristianc 8y agoDifferent people are endowed with different natural abilities. It's not just a good school that stands between someone becoming a brain surgeon or not. Likewise, the cost of living in Scranton, PA is proportionate to the opportunity for gainful employment there.
- objectivetruth 8y agoI wonder why ALL the poor people just don't go to school become brain surgeons, and then live in nice houses?
