I hate this cruel world

I know a guy that chooses to be homeless, he has a nice set up. He has a pup tent that’s off the ground hidden in the woods. He has a car and a job, he refuses to pay high rent.

I’m 60 years old and just bought a brand new 2024 brand new RV. Never Homeless Again!😁

Rent is a scam.

Everything is going up, but your check!

Lets unite and abandon the system.

Im about to leave my 2 bedroom apartment and live in a tent in the woods with 6 others, because rent is crazy and I feel I can help these folks better being with them. We want to have a tent community with liked minds individuals. No drugs and alcohol allowed.

I think living off grid is the best way to go in this country to prevent the fear of becoming a homeless person

Guys I want everybody to hear this. The scary part is the census bureau and the government knows exactly what's going on and for them not to care is very dangerous. That's the scary part.

It's rough, but we all die one day, and none of this will even matter

Yeah i dont know why it's so hard for people to reconcile with these numbers. Im working full time and live out of my car. Im not on drugs. Dont even drink or smoke cigarrettes. I dont even pay for health insurance. And i still dont even save that much money at the end of the week. Corporations just dont pay what they need to pay people with current cost of living. It's very simple.

I'm waiting in a food giveaway line while watching this video. I'm thankful.

Property taxes. This is getting ready to be a very large issue with homeowners. Especially the ones that have their homes paid off.

Matthew 6:25-34 "So i tell you, dont wory about the food or drink you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body is more than clothes. look at the birds in the air. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, but heavenly Father feeds them." follow God.

I'm never falling for the trap of "home ownership" just gives the government more opportunity to tax you to death.

Everybody could become homeless more next year.

Homelessness is coming to every one. The economy is so bad and inflation food shortages and water shortages. Rents going up because of greed and mortgage payments too.

There is no way to prepare yourself for avoiding homelessness if you do not have access to enough resources.

America land of the homeless 2025

My rent increased 200 bucks since 2020 when I moved in. And the garbage disposal was still broken when I left. After almost 4 years of asking the office to fix it. Shit is crazy

The labor markets are not helping the situation. Submitting a resume with the applicant tracking systems is eliminating at least three fourth of potential candidates. We really need to start reforming communities that look out for your brother. The amish/mennonite community will take care of you if you get sick, need a job and are really able to take care of themselves without outside intervention, that’s a good model to start from. We were once like this but became dependent on government and corporations for our needs.

Everyone I see commenting is basically a single person. Now imagine having others to protect and provide for.

I’m sick of hearing about people complain about not being able to make life work on six figure salaries. Are you kidding me? I’d live like an absolute king on six figures. You’re all doing something very wrong if you can’t make 100k+/yr. work for you. Too many people out there clueless about proper money management. 100k a year is still plenty to create a pretty decent life for yourself.

Adopt a minimalistic life style your not poor if your satisfied with Less

Homelessness can mean freedom and opportunity

"Foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests but the Son of man dont have a place to lay his head" Jesus of Nazareth

I mostly agree with everything you said except when you said one should have a plan b. I only have a plan A and that is to cut my expenses while saving more money.

Great video. This covered the economics of housing. There is a whole other side to this - the mental health effects of what type of housing you choose. Personally, I have been living in my Toyota Prius for 8 years. My level of internal happiness, inner peace and satisfaction has increased tremendously since I started living this way. In my opinion, a man with no bills is a rich man in positive mental health. There are a lot of mental health issues that arise from struggling to pay for conventional housing.

I work 6 days a week, college, veteran, and super healthy but am forced to camp out. I absolutely don’t care about funding housing for addicts and illegals. NO ONE WORKING A FULL TIME JOB SHOULD BE HOMELESS.

A friend of mine ended up homeless because he refused to pay the property tax on his paid for (by his deceased parents) home. This guy was a "trust fund" kid. He stopped working years ago and just lived off of his inherited stock based trust fund. When the stock market tanked in 2008 his trust fund bottomed out.

In the Bay Area, Rent prices are just too much for the poor but the jobs can not a person to live. I mean the landlords are still looking for renters to be software makers and not everyone can be one.

The ones in powrr are doing this on purpose. You cant have rich people unless you have alot of poor people.

The primary message...live like the 10$ in your pocket is the last and do not be of this world.

Hello friend I am from New Mexico. In 2019 the average home price was $238,000 now it is $410,000 the average income was 46,000 now it is 47,500. Gas prices were a $1.50 now the average gas price is $2.89😢

GREEDY landlords!!!!! This world SUCKS ASS!!!!!!

I was injured in a hit and run car accident. I was stopped at a red light, a safe distance from the car in front of me and a giant SUV rammed me going 50 mph. Didn’t have health insurance. Had the hardest time getting to a doctor. I gave up and have no idea if my pain will ever go away or will be with me for life. By the grace of God I was able to ironically drive for DoorDash to “survive” because I can no longer work my usual on the feet customer service jobs. I was on the verge of losing my apartment and ending up homeless because the cops did NOTHING to help me and the system treats me like a criminal for not being able to afford healthcare because full coverage car insurance is astronomically expensive. This situation made me so much more empathetic to the homeless because your life can change in the blink of an eye due to other people’s actions.

Yep, my town is getting very bad . Rent has doubled here.

It's time for a revolution and the American people need to take to the streets and fight for income based rent and new laws to protect human beings. Housing,air conditioning and so much more should be a human basic right. We need to stand up and fight for this right!! Income based rent on city apartments and homes

6:45 - I’m building a bicycle camper trailer specifically for this reason. Even if I lose my license, I’ll still have access to ‘the homeless highway’ with a bicycle camper, similar to Elkins Nomad Camper. 💪

A two bed-room apartment in Riverside county CA goes for $2500 /month. Thats just rent for F**ks sake!!! My sisters mortgage is less than $1000 bucks. How does that make sense???

I live below my means in a low cost of living state and it’s still rough out here. Thats with me and my girlfriend both having “good jobs”, whatever the hell that means anymore.

Yeah rent is stupid and insane these days. I’m planning on staying in my car just to save up for a few months but after the summer

Yep, I am prepared. I am so proud I turned my minivan into a tiny home. ❤❤. Thank you for your content. I appreciate you

I've been homeless breifly when I was in My early twenties. I stayed at the Salvation Army in Montgomery, Al. and also worked for the Salvation Army during that time. I then got an apartment.

The criteria to get help of any kind has become more of a challenge for many which plays a role in some's way of thinking. I think a lot more people out here are tired of being tired, run out of patience, and are adapting to their situations.

This man is spot on and took out all of the superfluous BS that confuses simple minds. Pay off your home snd debt. There’s no other avenue to achieving peace of mind and sleeping well. SUBBED!

I do full time van life and have a great job and bank my money. I will never rent again or own a house, done that too. I personally love it because I am an outdoors person anyway and my free time is spent hiking, camping, fishing and white water rafting. My home goes on all my adventures and I never pack a bag unless it's for a hike.

Appreciate Your Wisdom brother Thank you 🫡 keep making these vids keep up the great work ,our folks have alot of homework to do

The internet is acting bad for people that have a real story.. Love you,,,

i have close family members who both drive Mercedes but also both have been foreclosed on many times, filed bankruptcy etc. one makes $150k but with the debt and hidden cost of home ownership, they can't afford a flat tire or oil change. by now they are trying to borrow equity from their homes but it is coming... they will end up homeless. i am not wishing this on them but it would take a miracle given their debt and the cost to live. good videos and i agree w/ you van life is better than street life!

Sending prayers to you & hoping you'll find a home. 💕💙💕

Keep spreading the good word brother.

Good luck brother. I’ll keep you in my prayers

Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

There’s a great book (textbook style, not an entertainment read, unless you’re a geek like me) entitled “Living Downtown, the history of residential hotels in the US” by Paul Groth, and it goes into how before the big urban renewal pushes of the past however many decades, there was a pretty adequate supply of cheap, clean, efficient housing in the way of weekly hotels in cities. They’re sometimes called bachelor hotels, SROs (in California) or single room occupancy units, and they were in the more run down neighborhoods by downtown, and people lived in them as they would an apartment. There was no kitchen- often there was a communal kitchen which either the residents could use, or in cases the hotel would have staff who made meals. Often there were several bathrooms and showers on each floor for the rooms on each level, as most units didn’t have their own bathroom, either, but rather had a bathroom sink area in the rooms. Some larger rooms may have their own bathrooms, but largely not. Each floor had its own trash room where residents brought their trash to be taken out, and some buildings may have a light maid service weekly to change the sheets, take out the trash, etc. There was a front desk which managed the building, received and held mail for residents to pick up, and controlled whom was coming into and out of the premises. This was very efficient/no frills living, but it was a reliable place for people on the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder to live, and people did live in such places for years, and as such, buildings often had a pretty tight community of neighbors who looked out for each other and provided friendship, etc. Once urban renewal efforts started, these buildings and the neighborhoods they were in were the first targets for being bought, torn down, and a myriad other projects put in their place, be it big convention centers, parks, parking structures, etc. Residents who once could rely on housing being available for their level of means now had fewer and fewer options, and the remaining buildings could raise their rates since they were more in demand as supply decreased. It’s a direct correlation between urban homelessness becoming visible in the 1980s and these renewal efforts changing the housing landscape in cities. We certainly need more of that kind of housing, BUT there’s almost no housing being created for people with low incomes or even average incomes- it’s all luxury housing coming into the market, so builders can capture the highest payout for what they’ve built, and playing devil’s advocate, one can understand their standpoint, since building or developing anything in many big cities has become so mired down with costs from fees, applications, studies, taxes, etc… so they go into the role of building and developing with the mindset that the ONLY thing worth building is high end, luxury housing. Without the serious prioritization of housing for low and average income people, I don’t see any improvement in the situation coming anywhere on the horizon.

Y'all better stop trying to live the predefined American Dream and define reality for yourselves: 1. Buy rural land in which u can put a mobile home or tiny home 2. Well and Septic if it isboutside county water (this is a good thing, u can. water a garden without a high waterbill) 3. Pay this off early to avoid interest. 4. U can build ur dream home on this property later, if u buy a big enough piece of land and rent temporary mobile/tiny home out for additional income. UR WELCOME❤❤❤❤

I am going to save 85% percent of each of my work job paychecks after watching this video ! 💵 In the Summer months I can live in a van down by the river, with my camping tent, no rent and self-defense tools.

Excessive regulations, taxes, and building codes are the reason housing isnt affordable. That and corporations.

As an African immigrant and a naturalized US citizen, one thing i dread the most in America is homelessness The fear is embedded in my subconsciousness in all my 27 years in this country and the panic is getting worse as i get close to retirement and watching seniors homeless crisis. I am building my residential home in my home country to live happily ever after. There's no such things as mortgage and property taxes and mandatory insurances ever. You get water source from ground water borehole which is connected to the home and supplies water plus solar system and you've no single bill the rest of your life other internet-wifi and phone bills. Thats how i want to spend my retirement in peace. I am doing this from my US home equity. My country isn't developed as American but people are happy, living with natural and simple life.

There is no $ left for our homeless citizens after they help those who are new here.

You have A Real Reality channel !!!!🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Here is the sick part of this whole thing here in Florida. You could be charged with cruelty to animals if you leave them out doing inclimate weather. Now make scents of this madness

AS A WOMAN, I WOULD LOVE TO DO THIS, BUT IT'S NOT IN THE BEST SAFETY FOR ME.

Good points.. advice❤

I know a person that is renting an apartment and a displaced person stays went the person leaves! Yes some are very entitled and HATEFUL. Stealing food and showering without permission. 💔

Great video. You did a lot of research

I currently live in an apartment and own a vehicle.

It's interesting to watch videos like this then turn around and watch dating shows like Kendra G where women come on saying they will only date a man that earns a six figure salary.

❤ Dont give up. I embrace everything but trying to maintain STABILITY.

THANKYOU! SIR YOURE AWESOME!

Don’t forget some of us have dogs and can’t get apartments or rent home because of these animals as well and shelters are full so if we keep them we have no place to live as well even if u make what they need

The happiest time of my life was when I was homeless and living in a 95' Toyota Tercel with a friend. It was complete freedom.

I lived in a toyota sienna for a while, now I'm in a cargo van. If you can move up to a cargo van, you wont regret it

Feeling it in KY also, most people In my city make around $30k-$50K and housing is on average like $240K - $300K in my city. Even the low cost of living states are getting hit really hard..

Well put, i think you are correct 💯. This is all by design, preparing for a bleak future is depressing but is critical for surviving this financial collapse. Learn to be self sufficient and to move on a moments notice, homelessness is being turned into a crime. All of this is dystopian

Have a full time min wage job. Going to have to fig out how to live out of my car to save on rent.

The system needs replacing plain and simple

The manufactured home im at raised the lot rent wgaing this month, but havent seen any road repairs going on 😊

Just imagine becoming a criminal on the account of becoming homeless _ and like the previous video about buying an RV is great solution except two things real quick ( 1 ) insurance ( 2 ) legal parking 😮

I'm a 70 yoa Hospice home patient. Because of some obligations she has my wife is gone 2-3 days per week. I have a spare bath and bedroom I could provide in exchange for a little housekeeping, make me a cup of coffee or heat up something in the microwave for me. The problem is one never knows who they're inviting into their home. I know the perfect candidate is out there but, the quagmire of trying to find that person is enormous!

Hey warrior !!! You are a leader……

You look so young sirr . Hope you had a awesome 4th July 🎉🎉🎉

Every 4 years the currency in circulation doubles. How many doubles can you afford😢

We should all just live in the forest

Another good video

I am declare & Decree One day very very soon no one will be houseless no more! All basic and necessary resources will be available for free use for people as libraries in past that you can borrow books and return for no cost. All medical supplies and health centres will be free of cost. Colleges and Universities will be free to attend but on competitive base as knowledge level to join. It will be good and safe life for humanity in general

I grew up and live on the Jersey Shore- old trash houses are 400-500k🤦🏾

They are trying to flank us, we need a revolution 💯. This shit is getting worse, I can feel it. I quit my job 2 days ago because it's impossible to keep up with everything especially with the low pay, why pay for a overpriced apartment when you are hardly even there because you are at work all of the time. Im going to a smaller city and live in my van for awhile, big cities are not safe

As of now there are 529 comments. I believe theres a way to work on prevention. Esp when you have children that depend on you. I would like an opportunity to speak on this. Is there a way to contact you offline? 10:39 Good luck put there. We will over come these difficult times!

Let's all get a big tent ⛺ United we stand Devided we fall.

20:03 i’m a builder and have dealt with major storms such as Sandy and hurricane Irene. I’m very familiar with dealing with homeowners insurance companies and it’s a scam. What will happen in time if you do need to claim your home they say they can’t fully pay you due to depreciation. Are you going to need to shop other homeowners insurance companies, or call your existing company and find out their policies on depreciation of for example, roofing windows, doors, and anything with your foundation If it’s not in writing, it was never said any information to give you is put on Company letterhead in official writing

Please try your best to stay stable because you can't run nor hide or think a vehicle or fabric will be the answer to your security. Watch what you spend money on. You are much stronger than what you think. If you go to cramping and camping you will never be stable. Nice to see you on Anthony.

Bruh you need to put some tint on that whip

Geee it’s almost as if Andrew Yang was onto something…smh he was the one #yangwasright

I pray 🙏 for everyone.

Try every shelter in and church in your area. I mean every day call all of them until they help you. You have to be very persistent.

This is happening on purpose. They're doing it in purpose.

Yes Rent In Midwest Has Skyrocketed I Live In Detroit, MI & My Rent Is 1,350 Me & My Sister Decided To Get A House Together & Split Bills To Make It Easier For The Both Of Us, But I Still Feel That 1,350 Is A Lot To Live In Detroit.

Looking at homes in CT, the median home price is 400k, Even the condos a 2 bed 1 bad is 200k. For three hours outside the city. Thats not even including HOA fees insurance..its crazy. I make six figure but i want to be able to afford health insurance and food. At this point alaska is the literal final frontier. I never though j would consider moving their but now its an option. Land purchasing then contructing a home is far cheaper than purchasing in the lower 48.

We can't as minorities or whatever you want to call it put the blame on society it seems like the people that score higher on the homelessness do less education and spend less time trying to educate themselves and stay up to date to stay out of financial trouble The information is out here today and is out here for free but we are just not taking the time to look at it such as an example your channel is a great resource on an educational level and it also keeps up a personal spirits but how many people are watching your channel not as many that should be thanks again for your content I really enjoy it
