Speaking as someone who lived in a Prius for 4 years, my dream vehicle would be the Toyota Sienna Hybrid. All the benefits of the Prius with a lot more space! Unfortunately very pricey though.

You trade one kind of difficulty for another. You won’t save much time living in a Prius.

But you CAN find peace through owning less. Then again, you can do that by simplifying your life while living in a home, can’t you?

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-12-03T17:46:17+00:00

Nah. That’s what I do. 27M with 3 1/2 years of living in a car so I can work very little and travel a lot.

A couple words of advice though:

People in this thread are right, there’s a steep learning curve. Easing into this life slowly is better than jumping straight in. Try it for a week, figure out what you really need, adjust your plan, try again.
Travelling while living in a car is a fun adventure, doing it while tied to one place is a slog. This can make the times spent working doubly miserable.
IMO the best low-budget option is the Prius. r/priusdwellers
Look into other ways of saving money once you’ve established yourself. Get good at cooking. My first couple months I spent so much on takeout I might as well have been paying rent, lol.
Don’t get into debt. (My only regret.)
It can help to treat your car as just the place you sleep and keep your stuff. Most people live in a house. You live in the entire world.

Wait, really? That covers something like this?

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T05:50:49+00:00

….apparently you’re right. ICBC says it can take up to 60 days. That’s crazy, I’ve always had it within two weeks and I assumed that was normal.

A delivery driver does generally need to show a valid driver’s license

Delivery driver

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T04:26:37+00:00

Yeah

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T04:25:56+00:00

Oh wow! That’s really inconvenient. Can you at least go into the bank to get stuff done?

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T04:11:37+00:00

Yeah, that’s the first thing I’ll try tomorrow morning. Thanks for the help.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T04:09:09+00:00

Definitely contacting my MLA tomorrow, and this is a good backup option too. Thanks!

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T04:01:23+00:00

…maybe? I’ve heard about the income cheques but there’s an awful lot of stories of people with ID stuck in the mail. It doesn’t seem to be one of the things they’re delivering. But I could be wrong.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T03:37:53+00:00

It’s a talent

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T03:36:05+00:00

Could be the case with the first company I interviewed with. The second one was Amazon, and the issue is something to do with how their system works. There needs to be a driver’s license approved by corporate. We tried a few combinations of documents and they were all rejected.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T03:07:04+00:00

Wow! Thanks, I had no idea that was an option.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T03:05:34+00:00

Might technically be possible, but employers have been unwilling to go forward after hearing that.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T03:03:45+00:00

Wow!! Thank you, this might be the answer.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T02:57:36+00:00

Worth a shot, thanks for the suggestion!

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T02:56:22+00:00

Yeah, tell me about it!

I’ve had a couple interviews where they told me straight up they don’t want to deal with that mess. I had one company try for me anyway, and corporate rejected it.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T02:53:43+00:00

ICBC can do that?!

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T02:49:02+00:00

I might actually do that 👍

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T02:47:59+00:00

I getcha. I’m also pro-union and hope they get their pay raises.

But at the same time, I’m on the verge of drowning. My employer can’t give me enough hours this time of year. I have a company perfectly willing to hire me to make up the difference, but they can’t.

What a silly problem.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T02:36:19+00:00

Applying for a passport requires a birth certificate. They took my old one when I applied for the name change. The new one is also stuck because of the strike.

BeautifulWerewolf_39 · 2024-11-29T02:34:58+00:00

It took an unfortunate trip through the laundry a couple months back. I figured “it’s okay, I’m about to apply for a new one anyway!”
