    Okay you stand by your lifestyle, I’ll stand by mine. Full disclosure: I live in a huge high roof van which means I haven’t had to pay rent or mortgage or utilities or property taxes or HOA fees etc for 6 years. I run on solar, and the government still hasn’t found a way to suck money out of me for the solar panels I have on my roof. Although I earn very little money I’ve got thousands of dollars in the bank because my expenses are so minimal.

    I can live anywhere I want. Currently parked right next to the ocean. Sometimes I live in Oregon, sometimes I live in Colorado. Sometimes I live in Washington DC. I’ve driven across the USA five times and don’t need hotels, trains, buses, or uber.

    I have everything I need in this van, all my clothes, all my electronics, a full kitchen, bathroom.

    Confident that I live more economically & more adventurous & more fun & enjoy more geographical variety than bicyclists who live in apartments or houses ☺️

    Oh and I have three different kinds of bicycles too. One of them has three wheels so technically not a bicycle 🤷🏼‍♀️

    You stand by your lifestyle, I’ll stand by mine.
