Anybody here ever lived in their car?

@goodSpruce3041. When I went through some times where I didn’t have enough for an apartment I rented a room in someone’s house. It was much less money this way . I was able to avoid living in my car by doing this.

It must be incredibly hard for you to deal with those financial worries whilst having to take care of your health! I think adventurousBranch had a great idea about renting a room somewhere. Something I found was building a pallet house - it's just an idea. Obviously it can be build for around $480 according to internet (not sure if it is true, also not sure about additional costs for water connection, etc.) You can find more here.

Someone I know lived in a tent in someone's garden for a long time. It worked quite well for them but we do not have winter here, it's always warm.

I have fantasized about it a lot! There are a lot of interesting and adventurous people that do it and have YouTube channels. Have you seen cheaprvliving?

@goodSpruce3041 Through a few decades of my adult life I've spent two or three nights in a car, a night on a bus stop and a night on a railway station. Feeling homeless is not good, especially in the long term and while you have to face other serious circumstances.

Please, be sure you checked some more cost-friendly housing alternatives first.

I keep my fingers crossed for you.

@goodSpruce3041  I just want to second the YouTube Channel CheapRVLiving.  Despite the name it features many people, who live out of their cars and discusses how to set yourself up for success in this situation.  They also run a nonprofit Home on Wheels Alliance that often offers solar kits for generating power and other useful supplies, as well as emergency repair grants.  Check it out and realize that you are not alone.  They even have weekly nomad meetups online and do caravans together so you really dont have to be alone and you can learn from others.
