How to live in a car… Do you want to live in a car? Sounds like a promising beginning to a blog post, right?
I just want to premise this by saying that I am not suggesting this is for everyone or even that I would recommend it for everyone.
The idea I really want to get across is suggestions on how you can get rid of so much that you could live in a car if you wanted to, or maybe just a Rv or whatever.
If you want to learn how to live in a car, this is just a beginning.
A Little Background
When I met my husband he could fit everything he owned in a laundry bag.
Starting over was a comfortable idea for him.
He was first introduced to a life of clearing out everything he owned as a young child.
A house fire effectively rid him and his family of everything they owned at once.
It was tragic and traumatic, but it was the beginning of a lifelong query for him:
If there was a fire right now, what would I take?
Learning how to live in a car was never a huge challenge for him.
Though he enjoyed many different things, items and hobbies he never had an issue detaching from objects, homes, clothes or belongings.
Why We Wanted to Learn How to Live in a Car
Back in the beginning of 2016 we were feeling restless and wanted a change.
We had been getting rid of our belongings for a while in an attempt to make more space.
Our little one was getting bigger, we lived in a small space and we wanted him to have as much area to play as possible.
Instead of seeking storage solutions we just…
We got rid of years of clutter from the closets.
Why was all that stuff still there anyway?
The more we got rid of, the easier the decisions became.
Until one day we decided we wanted to leave it all and go on a road trip, just to really switch things up a bit.
At that point it wasn’t small decisions.
