Homeless living in car Homeless living in car

I live in my car. It’s a beater, but it’s paid for. I’m physically fit and work a full time construction job I don’t make much at. I get no government assistance. I don’t do drugs(smoke weed, is a chillum not a crack pipe relax). I shower and shave everyday. My car isint dirty it’s just ugly.

I be posted up downtown and get odd looks and stares from people that I’ve seen multiple times that have noticed me.

Having no shame most things don’t bother me. But sometimes they do.

I understand 90% or more of homeless people are probably addicted to drugs and don’t work.

I’ve been able to consistently save $3000+ every month, but I obviously have next to no bills and live rather cheap. I’ve been doing this for over a year and plan on buying a 5+ acres and living there while saving to build a house.

All I want to say is:

Don’t judge a book by its cover.
