you can make money while living in a van…
one of the subs i mentioned is “digital nomads”, which is entirely employed people… living nomadically while working online… aka remote…
in r/vagabonds there’s a lot of more traditional traveler type work… seasonal stuff…
or you could tend bar or something
remember kids, money is a figment, time is counting down and you will die someday…
you won’t regret having adventures… but you will regret being comfortable
savings is good, but most people longing for such a change aren’t in a good position to save up… and you can always make money somewhere else you go to (often, not always)
if you can’t, just hobo somewhere you can…
Sure, just giving advice to people who want to do this with a kind of safety net. Doing it “your way” is more risky, but doing it as opposed to not doing it can still be possible, if you’re a bit more prudent.
DGI is the acronym for the tax institution in the country I’m in.
nope… i know reddit is trash and all… but good info on the subs vandwellers, vagabonds, and digitalnomads…
adventure is always an option…
(and risky and scary…)
there’s also adventurous sports, like freediving, camping:hiking… shit like that…
i think skydiving is dumb but a lot of people consider that adventurous…
you could also do protests, volunteer firefighter, become a paramedic…
i have just given you a call to adventure: but will you answer?
enjoy sitting in your apartment, doing the exact same thing
every day,
every week,
for the rest of your life…
never changing anything…
take no risks…
a handshake, with carbon monoxide no alarms and no surprises
p.s. people living lives that are difficult for you to understand are not “stupid”…
you, however, are “ignorant”
How dare you reference one of my favourite Radiohead songs in an attempt to mischaracterise me. I do indeed make changes and take risks. My current life choices are all calculated risks. It’s just rather out of touch to think everyone is able to sell everything they own on some extreme gamble.
You have to already own a lot of things in the first place to make much doing that.
You need to already be able to drive to even make use of a van.
Also, don’t misquote me. I don’t call people with different lives stupid. I call people stupid if they believe stupid things, such as “anyone can easily become a van lifer and would enjoy doing so”.
“I refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to see this as a realistic option”
yes, you called me stupid… you’re stupid if you think i’m trying to tell you every step of the way… like “get a driver license”
you could get a fucking boat, the whole point is choosing your own adventure…
i’m trying to remind you that you are not stuck, you are not too old to have opportunity for adventures… you are comfortable and you are afraid of change.
I don’t need to. I’ve known that song over a decade. It speaks to the ills of living under capitalism.
yes, you called me stupid
Well done.
you’re stupid if you think i’m trying to tell you every step of the way
I didn’t say such a thing.
like “get a driver license”
You ignored mentioning that because you know it’s becoming increasingly out of reach.
you could get a fucking boat
You think I can afford one? Or a boating license? Or the lessons? You’re just assuming I already have this money, or the means to get it. That’s why you’re out of touch.
the whole point is choosing your own adventure
I already am, you idiot, that’s what I told you.
i’m trying to remind you that you are not stuck
I didn’t say I was “stuck”.
you are not too old to have opportunity for adventures
I didn’t say this, either. I didn’t say anything about adventure at all.
you are comfortable and you are afraid of change
I am uncomfortable and I want change. You are, in fact, stating the opposite of the truth.
it quite common, really… but we’re not stupid
You’re only stupid if you continue believing this is as simple as you say, from your position of privilege.
This but for real
This is what finally growing up feels like and it’s shit
sell all your shit, get an older van with good mechanics (easier to fix)
convert it into a portable house
quit your job, go on an adventure…
NB : you require some savings before you do this, otherwise you just become homeless.
Remember kids, time is money, but money is also time.

@xor@infosec.pub
You gonna reply to this?
i see no point in replying to you at this point…
I didn’t ask you to reply to me.
i see no point in doing anything you ask me to… which could also be seen as me replying to you
Yeah, no. Plus, you already did. ;)
sometimes i do things that are pointless
?
I was just wondering if they were gonna address your point.
Joke?
nope… i know reddit is trash and all… but good info on the subs vandwellers, vagabonds, and digitalnomads…

Yeah, definitely trolling

You. Are. Out. Of. Touch.
you wanted a call to adventure, i gave you one…
read those lyrics again… it’s a great song
“I refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to see this as a realistic option”
yes, you called me stupid… you’re stupid if you think i’m trying to tell you every step of the way… like “get a driver license”

What makes you say that?
No, you gave me an out of touch fantasy.
I don’t need to. I’ve known that song over a decade. It speaks to the ills of living under capitalism.
Well done.
