<p>Hello, my username is Buster, this is basically my first post.<br><br>Please follow this interesting story and modifications of Buster's House (lots of pics)<br><br>I have been living in Canada in an RV for about a year now. Since 2008 I have been studying smaller living via the internet and media. The US economy was what got me paying attention to the expensive housing situation. I was brought up in a typical house with fairly typical parents. I have been a renter since I went off on my own. Some nice places, some dumpy places. It was always a struggle to pay bills and entertain myself. I have always had a good paying job. Yet, always struggling. Constant running in circles, as I have troubles saving money. YES, I admit it, lol. I have noticed over the years being a renter, the quality for money to rent a suite has drasically diminished. I soon realized I could not rent a nice looking place to entertain family and friends. But my income has basically stayed the same. Through my searching and reading peoples stories and watching informitive videos on youtube, I have found the same thing exists all over the planet. The masses living in poverty or just above poverty conditions. Hardworking and not so hardworking citizens, most of us are struggling with debt and housing expenses.<br><br>Here is where it gets interesting...<br><br>I was laid off in 2010, like alot of people were all over. I got hooked on smaller cheaper free living. I was going to disappear from society and live as free as I could. I started looking at vans and vandwelling itself. I was going to buy a $2500 van at first and do a conversion on it. Then I got a call, just before my unemployment checks were running out. It was from a very good employer offering very good money. An excellent opportunity. I took it. After working for about a year and having fair credit, I manged to save up alot of money for a down payment on a condo. So I thought!<br><br>I started in on the realestate game, looking around talking to realtors ect.. I managed to get pre approved and fell in love with a place, but the bank told me I had to buy something I didn't want. <br>At the same time that I was trying to do all of this I found myself immediately homeless. Without getting into too many details I was forced from my apartment due to a shooting, and I wasn't sticking around. At this time I was able to pack up alot of my stuff and go stay in a hotel for a few nights and live out of my car. The police failed to catch the shooter.<br><br>Having a few days to think of everything. I decided RIGHT NOW is the time.<br><br>to be continued....<br><br></p>
