^^^Any more life is seldom that easy, one medical bill, equipment costs even fuel costs can cause a career change or bankruptcy! What happens if that kid wants to do another career or work remotely off grid, live in a van and travel! Lol!!!

We need a better picture of your situation. Are you able to work remotely? Are you building or buying a rig or both? Do you need to go to someplace where there is a surplus of rust free RVs or vehicles? Do you have pets? Without answers to these questions I would look at the Incredibox tiny...

Wife and I have been living seasonally in 126 square feet ( 7’ x 28’) but usually have to store stuff in a 10’ x 10’ storage shed or cabana as well for almost 20 years. When traveling we usually still take two vehicles or have two means of transportation which ends up requiring more space...

We have Good Sam’s Platinum and have saved money over the years because we did but it has gotten more difficult and expensive to get towed to a preferred garage. The last time the free tow got us to within 8 miles of where we wanted to go. The last 8 miles cost about $90!

Life is good when basic needs can be met. Unfortunately if you live long enough seems it becomes difficult to continue to meet them! Good physical and mental health are important elements. Living simply relieves a lot of worry and stress for sure as it makes basic needs easier to maintain but...

^^^ Agree but many politicians are more worried about funding their careers than helping the people they represent. What amazes me is how the people they represent continue to vote for people working against making a better life for all and instead just advancing themselves.

Who really cares what you call it or how you fund it? If everyone in a society doesn’t have basic needs met every member of that society suffers from it. “No man is an island.” A lot of people on here live on Social Security benefits in vehicles. I believe many people living in wealthy...

People tend to avoid dealing with the real problems. There is no real good reason or logical explanation why anyone of any age should be without basic shelter, food, health and education in a country with the resources of the United States. I imagine it actually costs much more to deal with the...

I don’t think most people are educated enough or knowledgeable enough about the issue to discuss it. I know I’m not. I have always had a hard time accepting social programs even though I and many others benefit from them. Growing up and coming from a tight knit community in an area where most of...

A few batton strips attached to the ribs will allow you to hang or mount removable milk crates. Using 20” x 30” yellow top totes with a 30” x 80” 3/8 plywood top makes for plenty of storage and a sleeping platform complete with a memory foam mattress. A small chair/stool/ladder makes a table or...

Fat tires really help traction wise in loose sand and fat tires at lower pressures help on desert pavement to absorb bumps. Weight and petal resistance for me anyway would be a problem if not for the electric assist. Range suffers but having a spare battery gives you options.

Since it does it both while parked and while driving most likely it is not the drive train. Motor or torque converter are your most likely areas to look. Have you looked in the front of the engine to see is any debris has gotten in the belt and it is running true with the engine running? Can you...

My big concern is burn bans due to the dry conditions in the southwest now a days and the fact you cannot transport fire wood between states or certain areas due to insect infestation. Put that with cleaning out hot ashes and the fact I carry a lot of things that are flammable makes it seem more...

Just bought a new generator the other day along with an Ecoflow delta 2 the last days of their sale. By using the 12 volt 10 amp outlet of the Ecoflow Delta 2 to keep my lead acid batteries above 12.5 volts overnight I have cut down my generator morning bulk charge of them and the recharge of...

It is not uncommon for the flu to get spider webs in it restricting the air flow I understand. In really warm weather when plugged in using a 120 volt box fan on a table blowing air into the side vent helps increase air flow. Maybe doing so now to see if performance increases might indicate you...

Triple Ty’s apple pie ala mode is outstanding. Don’t order anything else, you won’t have room.

Depends on where you want to visit in the city as it is really pretty spread out. BLM, National Forest, State Trust Land and even some cheap pay spots with showers like Gilbert Ray if you can get an open spot just over Gates Pass. Empire Ranch if you like the grasslands and don’t mind an hour or...

Texas State Parks on the coast used to offer fishing lessons and free fishing in the parks you may want to check out.

Gee, I thought she drove a Mini Cooper!

Reply to post #560. This is a discussion on living on $700 a month and the cost of healthcare is a consideration. Many places offer health care as a benefit of simply living in a civilized society. If you wish to discuss forced labor I would suggest you start a new thread although we have had...
