Hoboshack Part 2- The inner workings of my brain

This is how I make decisions, just so all y'all know.

Mini-van Hoboshack vs. Getting an actual place to stay

Pros:

·         No rent

·         Go on adventures or stay with friends every weekend

·         Don’t have to keep looking for a place

·         Never need to pack for anything

·         Can trade use of car for place to stay

·         Easy camping

·         Very difficult to be lazy (con?)

·         Sounds cool

·         Story to tell grandkids

·         Vaguely romantic

·         Apparently involves eating very well

·         Won’t have to make apologies for always being gone and leaving

Cons:

·         Gas money and lots of driving

·         No bathroom/shower

·         No couch

·         No internets

·         No roommates (pro?)

·         Terror of losing all of my possessions in one fell swoop (aka break-ins)

·         No place to bring someone back to (unless they’re into the minivan hoboshack, I mean, who wouldn’t be?)

·         No place to cook

·         Difficult to settle into the community (or easier? Am forced to be in public all the time)

·         Relying on generosity of others

·         Constantly looking for parking

Also (this is a list of things I want to pick up from home or buy myself. Do not take this as a request for stuff.):
