Say you own your own house and you fill it with, uhm, all kind of stuff. You still rely on society for electricy, water, sewage, internet, roads, the same stuff you are storing, etc..
So no, his life style is much subsidized by society as someone with his own home. The subsidy is probably relative to your footprint. So maybe less?
> You're constantly making and throwing away relationships. I found this the hardest part.
I've been thinking about it too. I've made a few relationships but as soon as they break (or I break) off the trail, the relationship goes with it.
I don't think this is avoidable. You are seeing way more people than a sedentary life allows. You are probably not going to make these relationships in a small 300K city.
> There are opportunity costs. If OP had bought real estate in 2015 they would be better off financially. It's one of the reasons I stopped living in a bus and bought a house. Had I bought the last two times I "moved" in 2011 or 2016 I'd have almost enough money to retire and live OP's lifestyle permanently.
I bought crypto, so it paid off way better than any real estate market in the world and all that money is liquid and ready to buy you a rental anywhere in the world.
