Do you have a particular church you attend or will any do?

No. Agnostic leaning more towards Atheist.

How are you affording heat? I can't imagine leaving a car running 24/7 would be cheap.

Heat? Warm sleeping bag.

Tell me more about the mail/freight forwarding companies that you are using. How much per month/year? Any pitfalls? I am very interest in that.

I am having a PO Box now but have to pick the mail up by myself or a friend would do that. USPS folks only hold the mail for 1 month or less.

We haven't used them yet, but we will in about 2 months.

So a yearly fee and a processing fee per letter/package. They have to confirm your ID though, which could mean getting something notarized.

But the best way is to just get as much stuff delivered electronically as possible and keep track of the stuff that doesn't get delivered electronically, like car registration, etc. So you need some discipline and add these dates to a calendar.

Sorry about your luck buddy but I have a question.

Daily routine:

1. Wake up
2. Check if I have any emails and pressing concerns with the business
3. Go to a Starbucks or to the hostel and work. Or tether inside the car.
4. Go ski.
5. Check emails on the lift rides.
6. Come back, eat dinner, go to a Starbucks or hostel and work.
7. Watch Hulu.
8. Sleep.

You need to be working like 3 jobs. If your homeless and struggling doing the things that SHOULD be easy (economy is tough I know...) then you need to be busting your ass working 2-3 jobs..so it should go

How do you plug up your car? The Fit has an electricity in plug? I'm confused

Huh? Sometimes, if it's available, I have a power cord that goes into the cabin that I run my laptop and charge batteries from.

I'm homeless by choice, not by necessity.

Get a sailboat and case of chivas

With the amount of money you probably spend in gas driving places, and then eating out as often as you do. I think if you break it down, the savings isn't all that much.

Eating out is cheaper for a single person than cooking. Extra gas spent for the car like a Fit is still far cheaper than paying rent and utilities in high dollar areas he's staying. It's just that most of us probably couldn't last a week living in a car since we're used to comfort of a home.

Keep a Journal, write a book, soon you'll be living in Beverly Hills. Presumably in a house. ^_^

I couldn't live in a car for the sole reason that I require a throne room. A bathroom that I can claim in the name of France. Being without an anchor point would be unacceptable.

Maybe get you a solar panel and a battery kit. Set the panel on top of the car while skiing.

Depending on how much I drive, sometimes this can be true.

But it's not all about cost. If I'm driving around a lot, it's presumably because I'm having a great adventure and seeing a lot of stuff.

So what do females think about your living situation?

Depends on the country. Females in China said they love the idea. Females here in the US find it very interesting too (I'm not like that Kai guy with dreds). I'm well-spoken, intelligent, and have a business. They just need to dig deeper. I love seeing their reaction depending on what order I unleash the details on them.

1. I'm skiing and live out of my car.

"Oh."

2. And own a real estate photography company and this and that

"What?!"

No house. Unless it's a treehouse or hobbit house or submerged house.
