I'm doing it by choice because rents are not affordable anymore and I hate living with my mom! I have been stuck for 3.5yrs and she hates having me here, we don't get along. Lost everything in 2019-2019 due to almost going blind...well, things have definitely changed and I just want to travel. If car life sucks for you (that 1 comment) then I guess don't do it.

Be careful people, you have to have a income to live out your car, it can go bad very fast, I went into a casino to avoid the heat and my truck was broken into and I lost almost everything, I went through my savings so fast it wasn't funny, I was making about 400 a week and couldn't save a dime, 6 flat tires in 1 year staying on BLM land, constantly having to go get supplies and gas. It's not safe at all, and not cheap. Good luck

Hi Jake, I’m thinking you’re taking a much needed break. I’m not an addict (my son was) I have ADD and can get obsessed with art and overwhelmed. I do enjoy your vlogs and videos. You’re very brave! I’ve watched you for a bit now, often I forget to like 👍, am trying to remember. I hope you’re finding loving support and being gentle with yourself. ❤️ Take care

@@nomaderic I might check out 24 hour because my anytime fitness is expiring in October and $40 a month is a lot compared to planet fitness. They closed a lot of locations after I signed up. It's just that planet fitness is terrible out here. The few that Jake went to looked alright but I had planet for a while along with my anytime just to have more spots and I canceled them. I'm also jot going to pay parking to find a good one. I mean, I would have probably kept them if I wasn't under contract with anytime because they do have more locations but at the same time it's probably worth a extra $15 a month to have a nicer bathroom.

Hey Jake. I think you would find peace and more happiness if you had a relationship with Jesus Christ. Have you ever heard the gospel? There are people who do not know it or have heard the wrong info. This is the gospel summarized: there is good news, bad news and good news again. We were all made in the image of God and He cares deeply for His creations. The problem is that we all have sin which separates us from God. God is holy, without sin, but we all have temptations and therefore sin. Have you ever told a lie? We are filled with sin. That's the bad news but the good news of the kingdom is amazing. We can all reconcile with God and have a relationship with Him forever. Jesus did not want us to die in our sins. He died a horrible death for all of us. He paid the fine for sin so we can all be able to be forgiven and have a beautiful relationship with the Lord. Once you have salvation, you can never lose it. That's the good news: we are all sinners but it's never too late in our lives to turn to Him for forgiveness and have everlasting peace. Some people mention the universe itself having power. Doesn't it make more sense to believe in a creator of all this as opposed to the creation itself? That's another issue. We all want to be the gods of our own lives. That only leads to more sin and destruction. We crave things of the flesh (sex, etc). The world works in such a uniform way: the sun is the perfect distance away, everything is so orderly. How could all this particular order come from chaos? The truth of God is right in front of us but we suppress Him because we want to rule ourselves as mentioned prior. The secular world we are in is a fallen one. But this is just a temporary place. After, we either get to go to heaven to be with our Father or go to a place that is without Him. See, all beauty and goodness comes from Him alone. The devil and our sinful nature is what has made this world fall and be broken. There are tears, sorrow and grief. The Bible is God's word. It is not a book. It is a library. There is so much proof but this secular world wants to erase the truth. Sea scrolls found, over 40 authors wrote the Bible over thousands of years experiencing the same message of God. A lot of people who dismiss the Bible have never read it or read a verse of two and take it out of context. There is a lot of propaganda out there about Christianity. Read the word. Open your heart and have faith and He will answer. He will meet you wherever you are. Suppressing God is what brings us down. Drowning our sorrows, having sex with multiple people, being selfish, and so on are all from the chaos of an unguided and Godless worldview. I am not asking you to join my religion. I am encouraging you to have a relationship of peace and meaning with our king. Life is still hard but you will have Him and that's truly all you need. It's never too late! Come to Christ and live. Love you my brother.💕
