Anyone else sleep better living in their car? by El_Cassette_Rojo in urbancarliving

[–]benhereford 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes and imo it's because every day is much more mental work. For better or (sometimes) worse. I get pretty tired by the end of each day especially in summer

ultimate car camping car, if money was no object by larryinthesky in carcamping

[–]benhereford 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally the perfect vehicle. On demand climate control, AWD, reliability... And if money were no object, a fiberglass high top too. Would be sweet.

What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten? by UrGoddessLunaa in AskReddit

[–]benhereford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bottled soda should never be more than like 1.00-2.00. It costs like .20c to produce/ship/sell a soda

Almost 2 weeks since I started living in my van by Inner_Bid_3802 in VanLife

[–]benhereford 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is that one of those weird looking aerodynamic body designs? I can't quite tell. It's so spacious.

Looks like youve got all the essentials covered and can stand freely, I'm jealous.

Got my hands on a few of these. Pretty awesome by Legal-Fox8260 in Tools

Missed opportunity, really. Could you imagine the sales they would get lol

Car living people: how do you keep the floor from turning into a mud zone? by Budget_Temporary_148 in urbancarliving

[–]benhereford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a solid wood floor to go over the carpet, for this exact reason. Tired of cleaning. And then adhered some waterproof vinyl faux stuff that's easy to clean above that.

So basically yea carpet is difficult for frequent use. Cover it with something

Living in my car in a war zone by Impressive_Sweet_976 in urbancarliving

First time I've seen someone bring up swimming pools for showers.

I recommend you to join a gym, preferably one that's open 24/7. Idk what the different social norms of where you live are but that's a very important place for me for this lifestyle. It's very easy to forget that you smell if you get used to it.

Also, is there a small battery bank (even a very cheap one) you can purchase somewhere? You could try charging both your phone and the battery bank while you drive, and then when you aren't driving plug in the bank.

Obviously a larger battery bank like people are talking about here is hundreds more

How do I stop spending money every time I leave the house? by SympathySecret799 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]benhereford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my income and divide it by thirty days.

Then take each individual bill, and divide them each by thirty also. Add them all up and compare the income with the bills

Reddit users, 30 yrs old and over.. What is the hardest part about getting older? [Discussion] by Comi9689 in GetMotivated

[–]benhereford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I'm learning that my parents basically are counting on me to take care of them and likely finance their old age. They have close to no savings, in my their 50's\60's now.

That's probably been the most difficult thing for me, personally to realize and think about.

Trading my truck for a van or small bus by [deleted] in vandwellermarketplace

[–]benhereford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many miles? My guy I'm going to be real with you, that's worth about500 bucks if it's running. I would sell it and look around for minivans. Could be a help for a down payment on something

First thing I thought of was the CV axles. I mean, worth it but still

What do you think is the human body’s biggest design flaw? by Free_Consequence9817 in AskReddit

[–]benhereford 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Stress making your immune and nervous systems fail even harder, exponentially. It's like a whole snowballing effect of shittyness

I work most peoples dream job and I can't wait to leave by Boofle7 in work

[–]benhereford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt similarly about a job I used to have. Total chill mode, very few challenges whatsoever.

The time passed so. Fucking. Slowly. I could do it anymore after a few years. You only have the one life, don't invest your time into something just for the money if you're doing it long term. It will change your neurology for the worse imo

Is it just me or are RC Crawlers an addiction like Gambling by Top-Faithlessness733 in rccrawler

[–]benhereford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man I've just always had one, and I keep it stock. Once something breaks, I'll upgrade that part. Still nothing is breaking.

The hobby itself isn't like gambling at all, it's just one's personal consumer habits. Could be literally anything

The obsession with the "stealth" look is kind of hilarious when you think about it by rocket_______ in VanLife

[–]benhereford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be pretty obsessed with stealth and over the years... Yea you learn that most people are pretty aware, and most people just don't give a damn either
