Date: August 28th, 2026 6:23 PM Author: slimy fat ankles partner Let's say I just wanna either sleep under a bridge or built a tiny hidden shack way in the woods
Then eat fast food while chilling at the library or 24/7 gym all of the time
100k should probably be more than enough for 50+ years in pretty much any city/country/town
Right? |
Date: August 28th, 2026 7:45 PM Author: supple messiness Yeah if you get food stamps and eat at soup kitchens and shower at the gym you can probably make it on less than 100K for 50 years. Or just plan killself after like 20 years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5898450&forum_id=2锞兾告触锟界锟絇HPSESSID=962c303388ae8b5678383d002493727e#50100174) |

'van living' is a major QOL upgrade from literal 'under the bridge' level homelessness imo.

Date: August 28th, 2026 8:22 PM Author: bull headed thriller laser beams you're going to have a lot less to worry about w/r/t police harassment (and about 10,000 other potentially deadly homeless person exigencies) sleeping in a van than under a bridge. the police prefer people being out of sight in a vehicle. living as a full-on homeless person sleeping in a field or something, your life expectancy is about 2 years.

It really depends if you can pull public benefits or not in whatever state you're in. Free medical insurance in the states that offer it is huge |

It does not account for inflation though and so it assumes that one has their money in assets that at least keep pace with inflation |
