I was thinking of living in a car. A lot of people think I'm crazy but, I don't like being stuck in one place, I don't like sharing my space, and I want to save money to travel. I could see a lot of the world for the price I'm paying in rent.

I have friends that are truck drivers, and they told me that the safest place to sleep is at a truck stop parking area. People are safe overnight because of an unwritten truckers code to be alert for danger to all who are staying there overnight. Also there are showers available for a small fee. This may not suit everyone but I {female} drove trucks for a while and was very grateful for these amenities.

I slept in my car for 9 months when i move to FL. People think that I was crazy/stupid, but I didnt see the point of having a place and working two full time jobs and pay alot for rent. So I stack up money and waites until the time was right to get my own spot.

Times r a changing. People used to work so they would not end up living in a car, now people work so they can live in a car.

I’ve been living in my car for six months. Watching videos like yours really help because it reminds me that the worst thing that could really happen is they’ll ask you to move along 99% of the time, If your courteous and respectful.

this guy already talks like he has thousands of subscribers, you’re 10 steps ahead from others, keep grinding your time will come bro

If you get enough sleep, and it's restful, most bodies can withstand certain short-term hardships. Add on 'healthy' exercise, the body becomes even more resilient. Next: diet/nutrition. Eat clean and not excessively. It doesn't have to be fancy. Our thoughts: totally within our control, so think healthy and supportive thoughts. We just need to learn to be conscious about them, and then forgiving and gracious to ourselves (and of course, others).

Dude I respect everything you do, living out of a car is very very difficult. Since I was 17 I lived out of my 2000 Hyundai Elantra hatchback for 3 YEARS! I was homeless and it was the hardest tipping point of my life. For showers? I would go surfing every morning and use the beach showers with board shorts. Sleeping during the day was like sleeping in a sauna, sleeping at night was freezing cold. Even in California it was very difficult maintaining hygiene and comfort.

I used to live in my car back in USA, for 3 years, i went to the 24 gym after work, took shower, drove a bit, go back to the building garage near where i work, had family meals in the resturant, just eat left overs now and then, park all night, the garage gates open at night, so free all day, work 14 hours a day, days off i meet my old men and chill a bit, and came to south asia, and never look back to my life in American, at least here i have my own place and my life.

Good luck to you young man! So inspiring to see someone go this route to save money and start your own business without asking much from society! What an inspiration! God bless you!

I lived in my car for about a month. I took a shower in the hotel rooms shortly after someone checked out. Sometimes I even washed up in the bathroom by the pools.

First i saw a man who was a firefighter live out of his car Than i saw a girl with a pet snake named alfredo live off a van Now youtube recommends me another person whos living out of his car Guess the worlds tryna tell me i should start living in my car and make youtube videos

I am going to be living in my car beginning in April or May --- definitely a choice for me. I can choose to spend all my money to rent an apartment and sit home on my days off because all of my income is spent. (Depressing). I live in a big city and have a good paying job, but it is expensive here. I can move to a different state to lower expenses, but I want to be near my grandchild who is almost 2 years old. I have Planet Fitness membership, that I rarely go to and work out ( probably related to mild depression). I believe that using the multiple locations here to shower will also encourage me to also work and and be more active. I am older (57), but have many years to keep working. If I decide I cannot handle being in my car, I can always just get an apartment again. I have always been a bit of a gypsy, so I am excited about this. My daughter thinks I am crazy.

Did two years in my impala.

Saving money. That's it. The less you have the more you realize what you dont actually need. Apple Cider Vinger? Braggs? Youre the man!

This is probably my future living condition in my 2005 accord. CA is too expensive

How to keep a relationship while sleeping in a car Step 1) you don’t

Great vid man I'm living out of the same car same year for about two months now and for income I do only uber eats making $480-$500 a week and my point is to save money and be free and sticking to my goals and trying best not to get caught up in too much partying or bars😌 lol and a gym membership of course 24 hr fitness cause I can go anytime and workout and wash my wastegate and also since its 24 hrs I sleep in the lot blending in with the other cars there and also I'm cool with the GM which is a plus....To many ands sorry for my poor grammar guys but ya get my point.😇

I'm 5'4". all seats out. Grabbed the top wood plank off a dresser in the garbage, nailed some legs on for cubes underneath. Taking my jigsaw to my tempur pedic mattress 😎 built a little table top setup with shelving. Cat and I are gonna chill and she finally gets to be an indoor/outdoor cat 😺

Damn I thought I was crazy to do that .. good shit

I've been living out of my 02 Honda civic sedan for about a week now... sleeping with a mattress type thing with my backseats down, legs in trunk upper body on back seats. I've made it very comfortable and I sleep well at night, and my friend let's me pull my car in his heated 2 bay garage to sleep which I'm very thankful for.. but feel like I'm being a burden. Like you said it's great to have someone that can let you stay in their driveway, especially with it getting cold here in CT I'm very thankful in my time of struggle. And I'm able to shower/cook inside his house. It could be way worse I'm thankful to have such a good friend but it's not his house so he cant actually take me in. Hopefully will have a new apartment within a month

This is sad that people resorting to living in cars but people want america to donate to other countries to help with poverty. Angers me to think yall struggle like that and i wish y'all the best. Respect for not giving up. Good karma for all especially ones with kids.

I want to live out of my car and travel,most people think I’m crazy and that it would be impossible to do,that just makes me want to do it that much more

I'm gonna be living out of my car with my mom and little sister, and i find this sooo helpful.

I live in my parents basement, destroying kids on fortnite all day.

The one thing I love the most about sleeping in my car is that moment when I'm all done with setting up for the night and I'm finally all cozy and it feels like a big secure AHHHH.. the thing I hate most about it is moment I open my eyes and realize, "I'm in a car.". Lol. The break apart begins.

Thank you for sharing your tips. Your car windows shades are perfect and your thermarest air mattress with the body pillow.

I also have a 2011 Honda accord.... I will be using all of your ideas for my roadtrips this winter! Thanks

I have a Honda Element with more than two hundred thousand miles on it. Because I have sleep apnea, I have trained myself to sleep sitting upright. I travel with my 150 pound Newfoundland dog. He is super friendly but when it is just the two of us, if someone approaches our vehicle, he becomes a bit growly. I only travel the hot states in the winter time. But the main thing I do when tooling down the highway, is I listen to high class works of literature. Especially the plays of William Shakespeare. I have memorized the roles of King Lear and Sir John Falstaff. I have listened to Shakespeare so much, I can speak with an iambic cadence.

Stay strong brother, I live in my car now for 2 months to save some money because I don’t have a job .

I livied out my for 2 months and I loved it ..it was peaceful and relaxing and awesome ..you know how much money i you save if a person that's for 4-6 yrs and work full-time 💰💰💰💰💰💰👍👍👍👍👍☺☺☺😊😊😊

Wow GOOD FOR YOU! 😁 I am soo sick of paying rent I my apartment!

You killed it with the intro, someone knocking on the window and boom youre ready to roll!

Room to rent: $500 Water and electric: $100 To camp every single night: Priceless

I like the way he sleeps I been trying to figure out how to sleep in a small car

Good sleep really is most important for your health while doing this. If you are sleep deprived, every other part of your life suffers. When I lived in a car full time, I'd always find a shady spot and take an afternoon nap. My best advice is to stay away from other urban/car campers. When there are too many in one area, people get nervous and the police show up. Save yourself the hassle and try to be as stealth as possible.

"Bodypillow makes me feel less alone."

Hey man a lot of people are giving up high rent to live in your car but the key to living in your car is get your windows tented and move to a city that has the highest minimum wage like Denver Portland and Seattle or even San Francisco why live in your car like in a place like Texas that one it's hot and they only pay 7.25 an hour San Francisco pays you 22.00 an hour

I live out of my Kia sportage and it isn't to bad

I got mad respect for dis dude

Car guy: hey babe come back to my place Lady: ok where do I sit ? Car guy: in the trunk, now get it!!

Ive been living 8 months in my car so far and plan on making it years to save money, well worth it at the end. How long do you intend on doing this?

I will live out of mine but not for choice unfortunately I'm down on my luck right now but eventually I will be back on top

I've been sleeping in my car for 4 years here in Miami and I know all the police officers and they all take care of me they're awesome let me tell you it's a different way of life but once you get used to it now I have so much money I could buy a house that's how much money I've been saving but I don't want to buy a house I don't want to rent I want to live in my car it's such freedom and it's so much fun and I I've never had a problem in 4 years it's freedom it's it's the best I love it I'm loving I love my new life bye.

I lived in my 12 honda accord Am shorter so i slept in back seat Being minimalist is important I have seen people that barely have room to drive Material stuff is not so important

I slept in a car once a few years ago with one of my homies after a concert since we couldn’t find a spot or hotel because of timing. At first it was unusual since it’s something I don’t see myself doing. Now I can see how beneficial it can be. Especially for those who are adventurous and enjoys the outdoors such as camping.

This is my first time enjoying your KZfaq channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.

2 large storage boxes |__| |__| with plywood on top and a twin size memory foam mattress on top should be the foundation of any car living setup.

If you can do this why not , save money, very self expensive in a apartment or rent a room , it’s all up to you 😊

Really good to see can do it cheaply but effectively as I've been made homeless due to marriage break up and me not wanting to uproot ex and daughter. Been wanting to live in my car but wasn't sure how to eat and sustain without getting sick. Would love to see more how you built it and more of use of space

Car camped for over a year here in Maui w/my Jetta at the time. But been paying $1100 a month in rent for awhile now after the fact & decided I'm gonna go back to car camping in my new ride. 18' cruze. Gonna do it for another year & save 1k+ a month. Helps to be real minimal(clothes, food, etc..) Get rid of alot of shit you don't need or store it. Good luck to everyone tryin it out for the first time. It's not easy, but definitely worth it. O & gym memberships for showers 🤙

got the 2010.....gonna be doing this soon....thanks for the video

when you need to have your car serviced what do you do with the stuff inside?

The sun shades are too much hassle! Look at car curtains on amazon, there’s really nice looking ones you can easily slide back like on a limo or an actual house window... I’d recommend a cooling gel memory foam matter that’s custom cut out to your entire trunk & front cabin... Install a small battery powered Tv in your car for entertainment, install some fancy lights in your car, too. Take out back seat. Passenger and front seats can be fully extended backwards to create a flat surface in the entire front cabin in certain cars.

I want to live in my car so I can have a chance to build up on my happiness. For example Saving up alot of money. There is no shame in living in a car

Just started living in my truck. Need the bed for my dirtbike so I'm living in the cab. It's small but I got a plan to take out the passenger seat and single rear bench seat in the back and I'll have plenty of room to stretch out. Doing it to save money cause rent here is so damn pricey!! So I'm building myself a good pile of cash.

Awesome video man, thanks for sharing! I’m gonna try to live out of my car over the summer 🙌🏼

All I did was fold my back seat, have my legs in the trunk and head/upper torso in the backseat area.....it looks like a tight fit but once you in there it's pretty damn comfortable. I can spread my legs, roll over, etc. I dont live in my car but I often sleep in it when I'm visiting other cities

slept in my Benz on a west coast trip, probably saved 7..800$ in hotels plus I was motivated to not sleep in and did more. Win win. I highly suggest for anybody who's comfortable in trying it too

I have a 2011 accord too i want to live in my car as well , but i have 3 kids 😭😭😭 here in socal a 3 bedroom for tiny rooms its 1650 1 bedroom is at least 12 to 1400 cheapest

I've seen people living in Prius, and some other's SUVs, but it's my first time spotted sedan shelter

For you guys who sleep in your car during the cold season how do y’all stay warm I don’t think y’all keep your heater on all night and even if you have lots of blankets what if it’s during winter your still gonna be freezing do how do y’all do it ?

Cool video

Are you cold?? I'm thinking a small car might be better at keeping you warm than a van...any thoughts ??

Live less to live large. To those asking why people live in cars, stacks duh !!!

Thank you

Slick roll out!

Omigosh I have that same exact body pillow in exact pattern!😂

.."So, anyway I also stuck to raw foods." 😍😍😍 Lol, I just started doing this as well. Maybe i'll start a channel 🤔 TY for the great ideas, though!!

Gym membership at Planet Fitness forced me to work out went to work then back to my car had tinted windows and on top i placed the silver sunshield on back i cut the out to size of the windows i placed a black light material shawl across ceiling pinned with long pins that have white big balls to look nice so i had privacy to look like car is just parked no one in it

Honda Accords are quite rooming inside the cabin. You sacrifice the smaller trunk space for a bigger cabin. Sleeping inside one should be more than enough room to sleep in.

I just had to replay that intro like 4 times lol... that was awesome haha like Spider-Man or something lol

you have good points but are you prepared for the unexpected. I'm mean cars do break down. if that happens and you need to have the car in the shop. what will you do? another thing is accidents do happen. you can be driving and accident occurs. it is badly damage. what will you do? are you prepared for the unexpected?

Side windows. That's what you were searching for to say I think.

I've been in my car since may of 2017

Thank you so much life hasn’t been too good to me this video helped a lot I hope everything worked out for you 👍

PLOT TWIST THIS IS ACTUALLY SCOTTY CRANMER

I got my teddy bears to keep me from getting lonely and cold lol. I understand the body pillow 100%

Lol your friend let you stay in his driveway and not in his house? I'd feel some guilt if I were your friend.

Trade your car in for a sprinter van, it’s much bigger and wider with a lot of space. Paying rent sucks.

I have a 01 Honda Accord I’m going to be converting into a home, only bad thing no AC I need to replace the line

Well..I'm about to dive in this experience as I lost my job 4 months ago , unfortunately I have a mini Cooper coupe 2 seaters 😔 hope shit works

I own a house. Even im thinking about renting it and living in my vehicle for extra income.Makes sense

if you get a sleeping bag put your mattress and all stuff so that it does not move around

Being a loner is a major requirement

Thanks for the advice

Toilet is needed above all you has shown. what about it? you can design a commode on car floor? an old floor can be modified.

Thanks for this video man. When I get paid Wednesday I’m going to buy some blankets and pillow and try to sleep in my car and probably go to New York for few days to test it all out. How many miles are on your car? Got the same car as you too, same year and everything.

Jeremy from jersey just subscribed

I sleep in my honda fit at hiking trail heads sometimes in the front seat. It's not very comfy. I wish I purchased a SUV at times for this case.

Great video

Wow so resourceful

If you crash not only will you lose your car but your room too. Win win

And all,that good stuff . . .so . . .like . . .yeah . . .

How do u stay warm or cool in the car when ur sleeping

Love the first 3 seconds. Lol

good video im just wondering thinking that you could have opened up more beside and behind where the rear seat was...to make more open space...nice video

Question: what would you put in your address? For instance, you want to get auto insurance, what address to put if you’re living out in your car? If you’re applying for a job? Etc... etc...

Thank u for making this and doing this

This would be great for midgets on the west coast💯
