Ask HN: Do you live in a car/RV?

2 pointsby avenoirabout 8 years ago
I live out here in the Rockies and always meet people living in their cars. I'm seriously starting to consider this lifestyle. Just wondering if anybody on here is doing this full-time. If so, how does this impact your professional life?

I am homeless, with no car. I sleep in a tent. I am open about that in forums, and I blog about it. My homeless blog is one of my more successful websites.<p>I left a corporate job to go sleep in a tent because I have a serious medical condition and my job was keeping me ill. I do freelance writing and I also do resume work these days. My health is improving and so is my income.<p>I don&#x27;t meet clients in person and I can&#x27;t say if my living arrangements cost me potential clients. I assume it does, but it is better than the way I had.<p>I think if you figure out how to make this work and don&#x27;t give clients excuses based on your living arrangements (and don&#x27;t be too in your face about it), a lot of people either will not notice or will not care.
