I’ve upgraded to a Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid SUV. I already tried out an overnight stay in the vehicle and had a very comfortable and restful sleep. This is my retirement gift to myself. I’m looking forward to traveling, visiting state and national parks, and spending abundant time out in nature.

Celebrating four years sober. Giving up alcohol, following a whole-food, plant-based diet, and pursuing a minimalist, rent-free lifestyle out of my car has been a recipe for an extraordinarily vibrant and healthy life. I traded in happy hour for a happy life. What’s not to like?

I’m celebrating 18 months of living out of my car. What started as an effort to hack the system to avoid the prohibitively high cost of housing and save lots of money has led to an incredible journey of self-discovery, healing, and joy. I live a life of considerably more freedom and abundance.

Had a snowstorm that dumped several inches overnight. Didn’t have to clear anything off my car because I stayed in a covered parking garage. Got a good night of sleep in my zero degree sleeping bag. Plan to spend time at the library after work. It’s my favorite place to hang out on days like this.

Some humor for my fellow vehicle dwellers.

Finding peace sometimes means letting go. It involves removing yourself from situations, things and people causing stress and turmoil in your life.

I try to spend as much time as possible away from what conventional society considers the “real world.”

Hi. I’m Tom, and I live out of my car. It’s my “affordable housing” while I navigate the collapse of the American Empire. I live and thrive beyond the mainstream, living a very simple, minimalist life while spending abundant time outdoors and in nature.
