Sidebar, I’m a big fan of a minimal life aka having as little stuff as possible. My truck can hold all my stuff for a one trip move. If I didn’t have that then there’s the $20 daily van rentals which are honestly going to be like $60 all said and done. If I couldn’t afford a deposit and first months rent on an apartment then I could rent a room. I’ve also been tempted to get a cheap trailer for an RV park. Finally there’s the option of taking on a roommate. In college we had two people to each room and a guy with a makeshift wall renting the living room. Is it glamorous? Hell no. Could things be better? Hell yeah. Is it better than living out of my truck or on the street? Most definitely.
Same, until I buy a house there’s no reason to litter my life with bullshit that just needs to get moved between apartment to apartment. And yea, I’ve been considering the van life / RV life too. Depending on where you’re at financially, the cost of van loan may be far less than what you were ever paying in rent. Of course: I am incredibly blessed and privileged enough to have a completely remote job.
