sell all your shit, get an older van with good mechanics (easier to fix)
convert it into a portable house
quit your job, go on an adventure...

NB : you require some savings before you do this, otherwise you just become homeless.

Remember kids, time is money, but money is also time.

Source : Took a year long sabbatical and moved continents and started a family. Please help me, the DGI is on my ass.

you can make money while living in a van...
one of the subs i mentioned is "digital nomads", which is entirely employed people... living nomadically while working online... aka remote...
in r/vagabonds there's a lot of more traditional traveler type work... seasonal stuff...

or you could tend bar or something

remember kids, money is a figment, time is counting down and you will die someday...

you won't regret having adventures... but you will regret being comfortable

Disseminated gonococcal infection is on your ass?

savings is good, but most people longing for such a change aren't in a good position to save up... and you can always make money somewhere else you go to (often, not always)
if you can't, just hobo somewhere you can...

Sure, just giving advice to people who want to do this with a kind of safety net. Doing it "your way" is more risky, but doing it as opposed to not doing it can still be possible, if you're a bit more prudent.

DGI is the acronym for the tax institution in the country I'm in.

I was just wondering if they were gonna address your point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i see no point in replying to you at this point...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't ask you to reply to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i see no point in doing anything you ask me to... which could also be seen as me replying to you

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, no. Plus, you already did. ;)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

sometimes i do things that are pointless

nope... i know reddit is trash and all... but good info on the subs vandwellers, vagabonds, and digitalnomads...

adventure is always an option...

(and risky and scary...)
there's also adventurous sports, like freediving, camping:hiking... shit like that...
i think skydiving is dumb but a lot of people consider that adventurous...

you could also do protests, volunteer firefighter, become a paramedic...

i have just given you a call to adventure: but will you answer?

Yeah, definitely trolling

I refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to see this as a realistic option

enjoy sitting in your apartment, doing the exact same thing
every day,
every week,
for the rest of your life...
never changing anything...
take no risks....
a handshake, with carbon monoxide
no alarms and no surprises
p.s. people living lives that are difficult for you to understand are not "stupid"...
you, however, are "ignorant"
